Alternaria
Found in: showers, under sinks, damp window frames.
Fast-growing and a common asthma and allergy trigger.

Musty smell? Dark spots on the wall?
Mold Remediation & Testing
Mold is a moisture problem first. We test to find out what's growing and where, contain it so it can't spread, remove it, fix the moisture that fed it, and test again to prove it's gone.

Certified mold remediation
Killing the mold you can see doesn't stop the mold you can't.
Mold grows where water sits: basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, under sinks and inside walls that took on a leak months ago. By the time you see spots or smell something musty, it has usually spread further than the stain.
Our certified technicians use moisture meters, thermal cameras and air sampling to map the whole problem before we touch anything. Then we remove it under containment and fix the source, whether that's a slow leak, poor ventilation or high humidity.
- Air & surface sampling
- Thermal moisture mapping
- Negative air containment
- Clearance testing
Found mold? Don't scrub it.
Disturbing it sends spores into the air. Close the door, shut the vents to that room and call us.
Schedule a mold inspection
Free inspection and consultation, usually within 45 minutes.
Large or spreading growth? Call (800) 719-4808 and we will prioritize it.

Know what you are dealing with
The five molds we find most often.
Some molds mostly trigger allergies. Others produce mycotoxins. We identify the species during testing because it changes how we contain and remove it.
Cladosporium
Cladosporium
Found in: fabrics, carpet, wood surfaces.
Grows in warm and cold rooms. Triggers allergies and asthma.
HEPA clean, treat, dry
Penicillium
Penicillium
Found in: water-damaged drywall and insulation.
Spreads quickly after leaks. Linked to respiratory problems.
Remove porous materials
Aspergillus
Aspergillus
Found in: HVAC, dust, damp building materials.
Can cause infections in people with weak immune systems.
Full containment and air scrubbing
Stachybotrys
Black mold
Found in: constantly wet drywall, hidden leaks.
Produces mycotoxins. The one to take most seriously.
Strict containment, PPE, disposal
Our mold remediation process
Test, contain, remove, verify.
Six stages, following EPA and IICRC guidelines, before a single wall gets opened.
- 01
Inspection & testing
Meters, cameras, air pumpsWe map moisture and take air and surface samples to measure spore levels.
- 02
Identify the mold
Species mattersLab results tell us which molds are present and how aggressive the protocol needs to be.
- 03
Find the source
Leak, vent or humidityWe trace the water feeding the growth. If it stays, the mold comes back.
- 04
Measure the extent
Plan the removalWe map every affected area so the plan covers hidden growth, not just the visible patch.
- 05
Set containment
Plastic barriers, negative airThe work area gets sealed and put under negative pressure so spores can't escape.
- 06
Filter the air
HEPA scrubbersAir scrubbers run throughout the job, capturing spores the removal releases.
Then we remove, clean and repair.
Moldy materials come out, surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated, and drywall, insulation and paint go back in.1–2 days
Single bathroom or cabinet.3–5 days
A full room or crawl space.1–2 weeks
Multiple rooms or black mold.Mold remediation equipment
What keeps spores in the work area
Containment is the part of mold work you never see in DIY videos. It is also the part that keeps the rest of the house clean while the moldy materials come out.
Negative Air Machines
Pull air into the containment through HEPA filters, so spores can only move one way: out through the filter.
HEPA Air Scrubbers
Capture 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, including mold spores, for the whole job.
Moisture Meters
Find wet drywall, framing and subfloor that are feeding growth you cannot see.
Thermal Imaging
Temperature differences reveal hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings without opening them up.
Removal vs. remediation
Wiping it off is not the same as fixing it
Plenty of companies sell mold removal. What you actually need is remediation.
| Full remediation (what we do) | Surface removal only | |
|---|---|---|
| Testing | Air and surface samples before and after | Usually none |
| Containment | Sealed work area under negative air pressure | None, spores spread through the house |
| Hidden growth | Found with meters and thermal imaging | Missed until it shows up again |
| Porous materials | Moldy drywall, insulation and carpet removed | Sprayed and painted over |
| Moisture source | Leak, ventilation or humidity fixed | Left in place |
| Proof it worked | Post-remediation air quality test | Your word against the smell |
Small patches on non-porous surfaces (under about ten square feet) can sometimes be cleaned yourself with the right protection. Black mold, porous materials or anyone in the home with breathing problems means call a professional.
Prevention
Keep mold from coming back
Mold needs water. Take the water away and spores in the air have nothing to grow on.
AI job photoFix leaks fast
Even a slow drip under a sink feeds mold inside the cabinet and the wall behind it.
AI job photoVentilate wet rooms
Run exhaust fans during and after showers and cooking, and vent the dryer outside.
AI job photoRun a dehumidifier
Keep indoor humidity under 50%, especially in basements and crawl spaces.
AI job photoNo carpet in damp areas
Skip carpet in bathrooms and basements, and dry anything that gets soaked within 24 to 48 hours.

Real jobs, start to finish: what we found, what we did and how it turned out.
Sample project
Sample scenario · Greater Seattle
Bathroom wall mold behind tile
A slow shower valve leak fed mold inside the wall for months. We sealed the room in containment, cut out the affected drywall, HEPA vacuumed and cleared it with post testing.

- HEPA cleaning
- Clearance test
Sample project
Sample scenario · Greater Seattle
Hallway mold after a water loss
A water loss that was never dried properly left mold at the base of the walls. Affected drywall came out under negative air before the rebuild.

Sample project
Sample scenario
Subfloor mold under old carpet
Humidity and a leaking window left mold on the pad and subfloor. We removed the pad, treated the wood and dried the room before new flooring went in.

Frequently asked questions
Mold questions, answered.
What are the signs of mold in my home?
A musty smell that cleaning does not fix, dark or fuzzy spots, water stains, peeling paint, warped flooring, and allergy or breathing symptoms that ease when you leave the house.
Is black mold really as dangerous as people say?
Stachybotrys produces mycotoxins, and long exposure is linked to respiratory problems, fatigue and headaches. Children, older adults and anyone with asthma or a weakened immune system are most at risk. It gets strict containment and disposal.
How does professional mold testing work?
Moisture meters and thermal cameras find damp areas, air sampling pumps collect spores inside and outside the property, and surface samples identify the species. After remediation, we test again to confirm spore levels are back to normal.
What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
Removal takes away visible growth. Remediation also contains the area, filters the air, removes contaminated materials, fixes the moisture source and verifies the result with testing. We provide full remediation.
Can I remove mold myself?
Small patches on tile or glass, maybe. Anything on drywall, insulation or carpet, anything larger than about ten square feet, or any black mold should be handled with containment and HEPA filtration.
Will mold come back after remediation?
Not if the moisture source is fixed. Spores exist everywhere, but they only grow with water. We repair the leak, ventilation or humidity problem and apply antimicrobial treatment before we close up.
Does homeowners insurance cover mold remediation?
It depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden covered event like a burst pipe is often covered with that claim. Mold from long-term humidity or neglected leaks usually is not, and many policies cap mold coverage. We document everything for your adjuster.
How long does mold remediation take?
One to two days for a single bathroom or cabinet, three to five days for a full room or crawl space, and one to two weeks or more for multiple rooms or widespread black mold.
Mold spreads through the air and the ducts. Let's find out how far.
Free inspection. Air testing. Written remediation plan.
