How mold remediation works
- Inspection. Moisture readings and, if needed, air or surface samples.
- Containment. Plastic barriers and negative air pressure keep spores from spreading.
- Removal. Affected drywall, insulation, and carpet come out; framing is cleaned and treated.
- Drying & prevention. The moisture source is fixed and the area dried, followed by a clearance check.
Mold in a wet climate
Western Washington's long, damp winters make mold one of the most common follow-up problems after any leak. Crawlspaces without a good vapor barrier, attics with poor ventilation, and bathrooms without exhaust fans are frequent trouble spots. Fixing the moisture source matters as much as removing the growth.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my crawlspace smell musty?
Usually because moisture is coming up from the soil, in from poor drainage, or from a plumbing leak. A musty smell is a common early sign of mold on joists or insulation.
Can I just bleach mold?
Bleach doesn't reach mold in porous materials like drywall, and it doesn't fix the moisture problem. EPA guidance suggests areas over about 10 square feet be handled by professionals.
Does insurance cover mold?
Mold that results from a covered, sudden water loss is often covered, sometimes up to a sublimit. Mold from long-term leaks or humidity usually isn't covered.
