What happens when you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent local mold remediation company serving north Kitsap; this site doesn't send its own crews. Explain what you found, how long you have noticed it, where the bath and kitchen fans vent and whether there has been any roof work. Many companies will then schedule a visit to see the attic in person.

A useful visit should include:

  • Moisture readings on sheathing and rafters, comparing stained and clean areas
  • A check of exhaust ducts, soffit vents and ridge or roof vents
  • A look at flashing around chimneys, skylights and pipe boots
  • A written plan that covers the moisture fix as well as the cleaning

Local conditions in Kingston

Kingston is a north Kitsap ferry town of about 2,500 people on Appletree Cove, roughly 15 miles from Seattle, with state ferries to Edmonds and passenger service to downtown Seattle. The waterfront sits at an elevation of about seven feet, and humid air off the Sound settles over the whole community for most of the cool season. That air does little to dry a roof deck that is already damp.

In practice, most attic moisture still starts indoors. A house closed up for the winter collects humidity from daily life, and it rises into the attic through ceiling gaps, unsealed hatches and fan ducts that never reached the roof. Wind off the cove can also drive rain past aging flashing. Repairs that involve structural pieces, or rebuilding after storm damage, are permitted through the Kitsap County Department of Community Development.

Before the visit

  • Clear stored items away from the attic hatch.
  • Run each exhaust fan to see if it works.
  • Find any roofing or insulation receipts.
  • Look up the company on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool; Washington has no state mold license.

Attic Mold Removal questions in Kingston

Can I clean attic mold myself?
EPA puts the homeowner limit at roughly 10 square feet, about a 3 ft by 3 ft patch. Attic growth usually covers far more sheathing than that in a cramped space full of insulation, so most people hire it out. Whoever does it, the moisture source has to be fixed first.
Should I add more roof vents?
Possibly, but more vents alone rarely fix it. Clearing soffit vents blocked by insulation and sealing air leaks from the rooms below usually matter more, and vents added in the wrong place can pull extra house air into the attic.
I rent. Who deals with mold in the attic?
Washington landlords must keep the roof in reasonable repair and give tenants Department of Health-approved mold information. Kitsap Public Health says landlords must fix building problems that let water in and that tenants should report leaks promptly in writing; it does not inspect private homes for mold. Most non-emergency repairs must begin within 10 days of written notice. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long does attic mold removal take?
It depends on the attic's size, how much insulation comes out and whether sheathing, ducts or vents are part of the job. Ask the company for a schedule in writing, and make sure new insulation goes in only after the wood reads dry.
