Spokane's four distinct seasons create specific mold risks. Cold snowy winters drive moisture into attics and crawl spaces while warm summers accelerate growth once temperatures rise. Homes in South Hill and Browne's Addition often have older basements and poor ventilation that trap humidity after roof leaks or pipe bursts near Spokane Falls. We start every job with moisture mapping and air sampling to locate hidden colonies behind drywall or under flooring before any removal begins.
Containment is critical in occupied spaces. We use negative air machines with HEPA filtration and physical barriers to keep spores from spreading into living areas or HVAC systems. In Perry District properties with tight floor plans this step prevents cross-contamination to adjacent rooms. All porous materials showing visible growth are removed and bagged on site; non-porous surfaces receive EPA-registered antimicrobials followed by HEPA vacuuming. We document every step with photos for insurance and local code compliance.
Drying follows removal. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers run until moisture readings drop below 12 percent on wood and 50 percent relative humidity in ambient air. Spokane County winters can slow this process when outdoor temperatures stay below freezing, so we monitor daily and adjust equipment placement. Final clearance testing confirms spore counts match outdoor baselines before barriers come down.
We also address the source. After remediation we provide written recommendations for ventilation upgrades or drainage fixes that prevent recurrence in Spokane's variable climate. Work is scheduled around the shop hours at 1211 W Northwest Blvd so homeowners can reach us directly Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm or Saturday mornings.

How it works
- 1
Inspection and Testing
We perform moisture mapping, thermal imaging and air or surface sampling to identify all affected areas and mold types.
- 2
Containment Setup
Negative air pressure and physical barriers isolate the work zone to prevent spore migration to clean spaces.
- 3
Removal and Cleaning
Damaged porous materials are removed; non-porous surfaces receive HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment.
- 4
Drying and Clearance
Equipment dries the structure to safe levels followed by post-remediation testing before barriers are removed.
Pricing
Costs depend on square footage affected, material types and whether hidden cavities require demolition; an on-site assessment provides the accurate range.
