Mold Removal & Remediation in Pasco, 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
Seven inches a year. Why would a crawlspace ever be wet?
Irrigation, not rainfall. The Basin project keeps sand wet that would be dry desert. January's inch lands on that already-high table in the coldest month. A wet-climate number is the wrong test; the canals and the confluence are the water bodies that actually reach the house.
Kennewick is a mile away. Is this the same job?
Same basin, different side. This city sits at the confluence on the Franklin side, with irrigation laterals and a slightly different grade. Kennewick names in a neighborhood list are across the river. Diagnose the lateral and the confluence, not the Tri-Cities label.
A 2001 house in a desert should be dry. What was missed?
The desert was irrigated. Crawlspaces went in over sand the canals wet, often without a capillary break that matches that table. January then adds the year's rain when nothing evaporates. The build year is new; the hydrology is project-era, not desert-era.
