Spokane’s four distinct seasons bring sudden snowmelt and heavy spring rains that overwhelm older homes on the South Hill and in Browne’s Addition. When water enters through foundation cracks or overwhelmed downspouts near Spokane Falls, it quickly saturates carpet pad, subfloors and wall cavities. Delaying extraction allows mold to begin colonizing within 48 hours, especially in the cold, humid winters when indoor drying is slower.
We start with moisture mapping using thermal imaging and pin meters to locate hidden water behind lath-and-plaster walls common in Perry District properties. Contaminated Category 3 water from street flooding or sewage backups requires full containment and HEPA air scrubbing before any drying begins. Homeowners in Riverfront Park-adjacent buildings often need temporary power and board-up after we remove damaged drywall to meet Spokane County ventilation codes.
Once standing water is removed, we deploy commercial air movers and dehumidifiers sized for Spokane’s variable summer humidity spikes. We document every step with daily moisture logs so insurance adjusters see exactly where water traveled. Final clearance testing confirms drywall and framing reach safe moisture levels before any reconstruction starts.
