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.
-
Step 1: Assessment
An assessor identifies the presence of mold, determines how far the growth extends, and locates the source of moisture.
-
Step 2: Containment
Protective barriers and negative air pressure are established to prevent spores from spreading into unaffected areas.
-
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.
-
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 De Smet
Independent local pros take mold removal work across De Smet, from the middle of town out to its edges. This is a Benewah County settlement on Palouse loess at the edge of the St. Joe country, where housing centers on 1988 and January rain falls on frozen ground that cannot take it.
Housing stock
The median home in De Smet dates to 1988, and 55.6 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Manufactured homes and modest frame houses on piers and shallow crawl spaces, set on loess pads that were farmed before they were lots.
Climate and water risk
Of the 28.52 inches that arrive in an average year, 3.79 fall in January; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 11.9 miles away at PLUMMER 3 WSW. January leads at 3.79 inches of a 28.52 inch year, often as rain on snow or rain on frozen Palouse silt. That water cannot enter frozen ground, so it runs on the surface and under the skirting of homes that sit close to grade, and the loess turns to grease until the thaw, when it then holds the same water for weeks.
Common moisture and mold problems in De Smet
- January rain on frozen Palouse loess running under manufactured-home skirting instead of soaking in
- Loess turning to grease at thaw and holding the winter's water against shallow crawl spaces
- Pier foundations on former farm pads with no footing drain and no real fall away from the home
- St. Joe-side drainage arriving as a wet weather spring at the downhill edge of a lot

Frequently asked questions
January rain is less than four inches. Why does the floor feel wet until March?
Because it falls on frozen ground. Palouse loess cannot take rain while it is frozen, so the January total runs under the home and sits. At thaw the same silt holds that water like a sponge, and a shallow crawl or a skirted floor is over it for weeks. The annual total looks modest. The timing — rain on freeze, then a slow thaw — is what keeps the underside wet until spring.
Should the skirting on a manufactured home be sealed against that January runoff?
Sealed skirting traps it. The water is already under the home because the frozen loess will not take it; tight skirting then holds humid air against the floor. Vent the skirting, put a ground cover down, and grade so January rain goes past the pad rather than under it. The freeze-and-thaw cycle is the climate. The skirting is the detail that either lets the floor dry or keeps it wet.
A wet weather spring appears at the downhill edge every thaw. Is that the St. Joe, or the lot?
It is the lot on loess. Water that ran on frozen ground all winter comes out at the first opening in the thaw, often a downhill property line, and looks like a spring. It is last January's rain leaving. If that line is at the home, the crawl takes it. A shallow diversion on the uphill side, cut before freeze-up, keeps that pulse off the pad. Digging a deeper well at the 'spring' does not stop a seasonal seep.
