Mold inspection in Tacoma
Pacific Northwest homes often show mold on attic roof sheathing from poor ventilation, in crawl spaces with damp soil, and in basements after heavy rain. We check these areas, plus window frames and bathroom exhaust routing. How our mold inspections work.
Mold testing in Tacoma
Outdoor spore levels in a wet climate can be high. When air sampling is appropriate, the sampling plan may include a same-day outdoor reference. Surface samples can help identify growth on attic wood or basement walls. See our Tacoma mold testing overview (air and surface sampling) and post-remediation clearance testing.
