Professional Mold Removal - Done the Right Way, Step by Step

Each stage is performed by the independent remediation contractor the call reaches, following industry standards.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.

  3. Step 3: Removal

    Porous materials that cannot be safely cleaned are removed — including drywall past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, and damaged cabinet bases.

  4. Step 4: Drying

    Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers return the structure to a dry standard, with moisture readings taken from the material itself rather than the surface.

What drives moisture problems in Ketchikan

Independent local pros take mold removal work across Ketchikan, from the middle of town out to its edges. Revillagigedo Island records 157.27 inches a year, and November alone drops 19.46 of them on a town pinned between muskeg timber and the Tongass Narrows.

Housing stock

Close to nine in ten of the housing here predates 1990 — 87.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1971. A 1971 median with 87.9 percent of units predating 1990, much of it frame on pilings and locked retaining walls, stacked up a hillside so steep that streets switchback above the docks.

Climate and water risk

Ketchikan averages 157.27 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at BEAVER FALLS 0.9 miles away, with November the wettest month at 19.46 inches. November leads at 19.46 inches of a 157.27 inch year. There is no dry month that matters. Water arrives as rain, as runoff from the timber immediately above town, and as spray off the Narrows, and wood in this climate is wet as a default, not as an event.

Common moisture and mold problems in Ketchikan

  • A 157-inch year with a November peak near 20 inches and no recovery season for wood
  • Hillside switchbacks concentrating timber runoff onto the uphill wall of every house below
  • Piling and lock-block foundations in muskeg that never drains in the ordinary sense
  • Salt spray off the Tongass Narrows driving corrosion in flashings on 1970s stock

Frequently asked questions

Is there a dry season worth planning around?

No. A 157-inch year does not include a month that dries a crawlspace. Work here is about keeping rain off and air moving, not about waiting for a window that the gauge does not offer. November is the peak, not the exception.

The house above us is the one that is leaking onto us. Common?

On this hillside it is the usual path. Streets switchback, lots are cut into muskeg, and every uphill roof and culvert is a catchment for the wall below. A stain on your uphill siding is often their gutter, not your roof.

Salt is on the windows facing the Narrows. Does that reach the walls?

It reaches the metal. Spray rides into flashings, tracks, and fasteners, and 1970s stock in this exposure loses those details long before the shingles themselves are gone. A leak that 'came from nowhere' on the channel side is often a corroded piece, not a storm large enough to notice.
