Mold Removal & Remediation in Burien, WA
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment eliminate mold colonies at the source and prevent cross-contamination throughout the property. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.

Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
The Sound is calm. Why is the uphill crawlspace wall still wet?
That wall is holding the bluff, not the water. November rain that entered the till above the house is still moving downslope weeks later. The Sound sets the spray question for the beach cottages; the cut slope sets the seepage question, and they are not the same job.
We sit on top of Highline, not the beach. Is the Sound still involved?
As spray, no. As the reason the bluff is there, and as the destination of every roof on the bench, yes. The top-side problem is till against the buried wall. The beach problem is overwash. Same November, two elevations, two mechanisms.
A 1966 crawlspace cut into till. Was it built to drain the hill?
On the Highline face, rarely. That vintage stacked the wall against the bluff and trusted the grade. Tile is uncommon, and the next house upslope leaves no trench. Coatings inside will not stop till water held on the buried side. Drain the cut, or the Sound-side wall will keep reporting it.
