Why us
Why Spokane homeowners start here
One request instead of five phone calls
You describe the problem once. We pass it to a local company that does mold work, and they call you.
Companies that work in this climate
Attic frost, snowmelt in crawl spaces and old fieldstone basements come up all the time around Spokane. The companies we work with see them every winter.
The moisture source comes first
Removing mold without fixing the leak or the humidity behind it usually means paying twice. Ask every company how they'll find the cause.
You decide after the quote
The inspection request is free, and so is the written estimate. Hiring anyone is up to you.
Our process
How mold remediation usually works
- 1
Inspection
A technician looks at the affected area, takes moisture readings and tries to find where the water is coming from.
- 2
Written plan and quote
You get a scope of work: what gets cleaned, what gets removed and replaced, and how the area will be contained.
- 3
Containment and removal
The work area is sealed off, damaged materials come out, and the remaining surfaces are cleaned and dried.
- 4
Fix the cause and check
The moisture problem gets addressed. Some homeowners also order clearance testing before walls are closed up.
What to expect
What happens after you send a request
- 1
A call, usually the same or next business day
A local mold company reaches out to ask where the problem is and how long it's been going on.
- 2
An on-site inspection
Mold work is hard to price over the phone. The company looks at the space before quoting.
- 3
A written estimate
Scope, price and timeline on paper. Compare it with other quotes and ask questions.
- 4
No obligation
If the plan or the price doesn't work for you, you can walk away. You owe nothing.
Mold remediation in Spokane, and why it keeps showing up in the same places
Spokane Mold Experts takes requests for mold remediation and mold removal anywhere in Spokane and the towns around it. You tell us what you’re seeing, we send it to an independent local company that does this work, and they contact you to inspect and quote.
Most of the calls around here come from three spots. The first is the attic. In January, warm air from the house leaks up through light fixtures and gaps in the ceiling, hits cold roof sheathing and condenses. Do that for a few winters and the underside of the roof turns gray or black. The second is the crawl space, where spring snowmelt and a missing or torn vapor barrier keep the dirt damp for months. The third is the basement, especially in older homes on the South Hill, in West Central or in Hillyard, where fieldstone and early concrete foundations let moisture through.
Then there’s everything else: a dishwasher leak nobody noticed, a bathroom fan that vents into the attic, a window that sweats all winter.
When to call instead of scrubbing it yourself
A small spot on a shower ceiling is usually a cleaning job. Call a company when the patch is bigger than about 10 square feet, when it keeps coming back after you clean it, when you can smell mold but can’t find it, or when it’s in the attic, the crawl space or the ductwork. Call too if a buyer’s inspector flagged it and you’re working against a closing date.
What a good company will do
Expect someone to look at the space before giving you a number. They should take moisture readings, look for the source, and explain how they’ll seal off the work area so spores don’t spread to the rest of the house. The quote should say what gets cleaned, what gets torn out and replaced, and who fixes the leak or ventilation problem that started it.
Ask about these before you sign:
- How will you contain the area during removal?
- What’s included, and what’s extra (rebuild, insulation, testing)?
- Who fixes the moisture source, and is that in this quote?
- Do you recommend clearance testing, and who would do it?
- Can I see your license and proof of insurance?
A note on health
Mold can affect indoor air quality, and people with allergies or asthma may react to it. If anyone in your home has symptoms, a doctor is the right person to ask. A remediation company can tell you where the mold is and how to get rid of it.

Why Spokane Basements, Attics and Crawl Spaces Get Mold
Spokane's summers are dry, so mold surprises people. Winter condensation, spring snowmelt and older foundations explain most of it.

Questions about mold remediation in Spokane
Is Spokane Mold Experts a mold remediation company?
No. We're a free referral service. We pass your request to an independent mold remediation company in the Spokane area, and that company inspects, quotes and does the work. You deal with them directly.
What's the difference between mold remediation and mold removal?
People use the terms interchangeably. Remediation is the broader word: it covers containing the area, removing or cleaning moldy materials, drying everything out and fixing the moisture problem so the mold doesn't return.
Can I clean up a small patch of mold myself?
Often, yes. EPA's homeowner guidance says a patch smaller than about 10 square feet can usually be cleaned by the homeowner, as long as the water problem gets fixed. Larger areas, mold inside walls or HVAC, or mold after sewage backups are better left to a professional.
Is mold dangerous to my health?
Mold can affect indoor air quality, and people with allergies or asthma may react to it. We can't give medical advice. If you or someone in the home has symptoms or health concerns, talk to a doctor.
How long does mold remediation take?
A small bathroom or closet job may take a day. An attic, a crawl space or several rooms can take several days, plus drying time and any rebuild afterward. The company will give you a timeline with the quote.
Will homeowners insurance pay for mold removal?
It depends on your policy and on what caused the mold. Damage from a sudden leak is treated differently from a slow leak or long-term humidity. Call your insurer before work starts and ask the remediation company for photos and a written scope.
What does it cost to request an inspection?
Nothing. Sending a request is free and doesn't commit you to anything. Ask the company whether their inspection itself carries a fee before they come out.
