We've been doing this work for over 27 years, we're fully insured, and we're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.

Thorough mold remediation means more than wiping a surface down. Our team inspects the full scope of affected areas, contains the mold to stop it from spreading during the work, removes contaminated materials where necessary, and treats every affected surface with specialized cleaning products that don't leave behind harsh odors. What drives cost up or down: how far the mold has spread behind walls or under flooring, whether water damage is still active, and the size of the affected area. A small contained bathroom problem is a very different job than mold running through wall cavities after a slow roof leak. Every job is different. Contact Olympia Services for an accurate estimate.
Signs You Have a Mold Problem Right Now
Mold isn't always visible. By the time you see it, it's usually been growing for a while. Here are the warning signs that tell us something's wrong.
-
Discoloration on Walls or Ceilings
Dark spots, green patches, or streaky staining on drywall or ceiling tiles often signal mold growth behind the surface. Paint bubbling or peeling in the same area makes it more likely, not less.
-
Dark Grout Between Shower Tiles
Grout that's turned black or dark gray isn't just old grout. It's a common early sign of mold colonizing a wet area that doesn't dry fully between uses.
-
Unexplained Skin or Respiratory Irritation
If people in your home or building are experiencing persistent coughing, skin irritation, or allergy symptoms that ease up when they leave, mold exposure may be the cause.
-
Musty Odor You Can't Trace
That damp, earthy smell behind a wall or under a floor isn't just old building smell. It's one of the clearest signs of active mold growth, even when nothing is visible yet.
-
Recent Water Damage or Flooding
Any property that's had a leak, flood, or sewage backup in the past few months is high-risk. Mold can establish itself within 24 to 48 hours on wet building materials. If your property had water damage and it wasn't professionally dried out, get it inspected.
-
Condensation on Windows or Pipes
Persistent moisture buildup indoors keeps humidity high enough for mold to thrive even without a visible water source. It's worth getting checked before it spreads.

How We Handle Mold Remediation From Start to Finish
We don't show up, spray something on the wall, and call it done. Here's what a real mold remediation job looks like when it's done right.
First, we inspect the full property, not just the visible spots. Mold grows where moisture lives, so we trace the moisture source before anything else. Skipping that step means the mold comes back. Once we've identified the full scope, we set up containment so that mold spores don't spread to clean areas during removal. That's a step a lot of cut-rate operators skip entirely.
Next, we remove contaminated materials that can't be salvaged, treat affected surfaces with our specialized cleaning products, and dry the area completely. We also address whatever caused the moisture in the first place. If it's tied to a plumbing issue, our plumbing services can handle that in the same visit. When we leave, the problem is gone, not covered up.
Damage doesn't wait. Neither do we.

Mold After a Fire, Storm, or Flood: Why It Matters
Secondary mold growth is one of the most overlooked consequences of disaster damage. After a fire, firefighting water soaks into walls and subfloors. After a storm, roof breaches let water sit in attic insulation for days before anyone finds it. After a flood, wet building materials stay damp long enough for mold to take hold even when the visible water is gone.
If your property went through fire damage, storm damage, or flooding and wasn't fully dried and treated within 48 to 72 hours, mold is a real possibility, not just a concern. We see it regularly. The honest answer is that you shouldn't assume a cleanup crew handled the mold side unless they specifically told you they did. Call us and we'll inspect.
