Mold Remediation & Abatement in University Place, WA

How we contain and remove mold growth

Mold spreads as airborne spores, so the first job is stopping that spread before anything is disturbed. We seal the affected area with poly sheeting and hold it under negative air pressure, so air flows into the work zone instead of out into the rest of the home. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers run continuously while contaminated drywall, insulation and framing are removed, bagged and disposed of.

Finding the moisture that caused it

Cleaning the visible growth does not fix mold. If the moisture source stays, the growth comes back, which is why we use infrared thermal imaging and calibrated moisture meters to trace where water is entering and how far it has travelled inside walls and floors. The structure is then dried to a verified dry standard before any rebuild starts.

Clearance and rebuilding

Once contaminated materials are out and the structure is dry, surfaces are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial product, and the area is verified before reconstruction. Because we are also a licensed Washington general contractor, the same team that removed the drywall, trim and flooring rebuilds them.

Mold claims and insurance

Whether remediation is covered usually turns on the source of the moisture. Mold that results from a sudden, covered water loss is treated differently from mold caused by long-term humidity or a slow, hidden leak. We document the cause with photos, moisture readings and a written scope so your adjuster can see how the loss developed.
