What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Sitka
The Sitka area our local pros cover for mold removal takes in Angoon and Tenakee Springs. Baranof Island records 102.06 inches a year, and October alone drops 14.79 of them on muskeg and a town built largely on pilings along a drowned fjord.
Housing stock
About three quarters of the housing here predates 1990 — 72.9 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1980. Post-statehood frame on pilings and crawlspaces predominates with a 1980 median, perched on a narrow bench between steep timber and the channel, with almost no soil that drains in the ordinary sense.
Climate and water risk
October is the wettest month here at 14.79 inches, part of an annual 102.06 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from SITKA 1 NE, 9.5 miles off. October leads at 14.79 inches of a 102.06 inch year, and there is no dry season behind it. Muskeg holds water like a sponge, so the ground under a house is wet from above and below, and wood in a crawlspace never gets a stretch long enough to drop in moisture content.
Common moisture and mold problems in Sitka
- Muskeg holding rainfall and releasing it slowly into crawlspaces for weeks after a storm
- Piling foundations in a drowned-fjord town where the tide sets the water table twice a day
- An October peak near 15 inches on roofing that has already been wet since late summer
- Steep timber above town shedding rain and snowmelt onto the narrow bench the housing occupies

Frequently asked questions
The crawlspace is wet when it has not rained in days. Why?
Muskeg does not drain on a rain schedule. It stores a storm and bleeds it for weeks, so the ground under a house stays wet long after the sky has cleared. A dry stretch in the forecast is not a dry stretch under the floor.
Pilings should keep the building above the water. Do they?
Above the tide, not above the air. The space under a piling house is open to a 100-inch climate, and wood in that space takes on moisture from the air even when the tide is down. Keeping spray and splash off the sills matters; it does not make the crawlspace dry.
The mountain is behind us, not over us. Does it still wet the lot?
It sheds onto you. The bench is a thin strip between timber and channel, so every roof of forest above is a catchment for the lots below. A culvert or a swale that clogs turns that entire hillside into a sheet across the pad.
