Mold Removal & Remediation in Olympia, WA
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. 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 Deschutes falls are downstream. How do they matter to a crawlspace uphill?
They mark the point the river meets a tide it cannot push. November rain plus a high Sound means the outlet is closed, and the backup shows in the flats, not at the falls. An uphill till lot is a different job — that water is coming down the bench, not up the river.
We sit on fill near the inlet. Is that still a rain problem?
It is a tide problem that rain makes worse. Fill over marsh stays charged from the Sound. November then adds what the ground cannot take. A crawlspace there can smell damp in a dry week because the tide is the standing source; the storm is the extra.
The house is on a till bench. Should the inlet still be checked?
As a destination, yes. Every roof and yard on that bench is a catchment for the next lot down. A downspout that ends at the property line is discharging onto someone else's foundation whether anyone intended it. The inlet is where that water wants to go; the wet wall is where it is delayed.
