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 Port Townsend
Independent local pros take mold removal work across Port Townsend, from the middle out to Umatilla Hill, Rosewind, and Dundee Hill. This is a Jefferson County town on Admiralty Inlet in the Olympic rain shadow, where housing centers on 1981 and a 24-inch year still wets walls because winter marine air never lets them dry.
Housing stock
Close to three fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 61.2 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1981. Victorian frame and 1970s ramblers on crawl spaces and basements, on glacial till bluffs above the inlet, with north walls that stay damp through a long marine season.
Climate and water risk
December is the wettest month here at 3.52 inches, part of an annual 24.4 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from PORT TOWNSEND 0.6 SE, 1 miles off. December leads at 3.52 inches of a 24.4 inch year, a modest peak in a rain shadow that is not a dry climate for a wall. Marine air off Admiralty Inlet holds north-facing siding at saturation for weeks without a big storm, and till on the bluffs perches what rain does fall, so crawl spaces on the bluff take seepage while the Victorian walls take fog.
Common moisture and mold problems in Port Townsend
- Admiralty Inlet marine air holding north walls at saturation through a winter with only 3.52 inches in the wettest month
- Glacial till on the bluffs perching December rain and seeping at the downhill crawl
- Victorian siding on the windward side taking salt-laden fog that never shows on a rain gauge
- Bluff seeps appearing as wet-weather springs at the toe of 1970s rambler lots

Frequently asked questions
Twenty-four inches a year. How is a north wall still wet all winter?
The gauge is not the inlet. Marine air off Admiralty Inlet holds a north wall at saturation for weeks, and moss grows because the siding never dries, even when December is only 3.52 inches. A rain shadow cuts the storm total. It does not cut the fog. Letting light onto that wall, and keeping the siding clear, changes the condition the moss is reporting. Adding a bigger gutter for storms that barely arrive does not.
The house sits on a bluff. Shouldn't December rain just fall to the inlet?
Till on these bluffs perches it. Water moves along the contact and comes out at the downhill crawl or as a seep at the toe, not as a clean fall to Admiralty Inlet. A rambler on that toe takes the bluff's December as a wet-weather spring. Height above the water is a view. It is not a drain. A drain at the downhill footing, and keeping roof water off the bluff face, are what the inlet cannot do for you.
Victorian siding on the windward side shows salt stains. Is that a rain problem?
It is a fog and spray problem. Wind off the inlet puts salt-laden moisture on that wall on days the gauge records nothing. The wood stays damp and the stain is salt, not a roof leak. The rain-shadow total is why people ignore that wall. The inlet is why they should not. Paint and flashing that actually shed, and a wall that can dry, matter more here than a storm-capacity gutter.
