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 after winter leaks
In Spokane, mold often follows winter: ice-dam leaks that wet attic insulation and wall cavities, burst pipes that weren't fully dried, and basements with slow seepage. Fixing the moisture source matters as much as removing the growth.
Areas we serve in the Spokane area
Frequently asked questions
Can an ice dam cause mold?
Yes. Meltwater that leaks into attic insulation or wall cavities can stay wet for weeks and grow mold. Have wet insulation removed or dried promptly.
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.
