Mold Removal in Kent, WA
Kent fills the Green River valley floor south of Renton, with the river curving through warehouses and the last of the old farm ground, and its houses climbing East Hill and West Hill on either side. Incorporated in 1890, the city has a downtown of early-1900s buildings, 1950s and 1960s ramblers on the valley edges, and block after block of 1970s through 1990s plats up on the East Hill plateau toward Covington.
The valley floor lives with the river. Howard Hanson Dam has held back the Green River's winter floods since 1961, and when engineers found seepage and two depressions in its right abutment after the January 2009 flood, Kent spent several winters with sandbag levees and a reduced storage pool behind the dam. Houses on the valley floor have high groundwater under their crawl spaces in a normal winter and a long memory of the ones that were not normal.
A Kent homeowner who calls this line reaches an independent local mold provider who works the valley and both hills. We make the connection and step aside; the scope, the price, and the work are between you and that provider.
Kent mold removal on the valley floor and up the East Hill
A crawl space with standing water under a 1960s rambler near the river and a musty smell in every room above it is whole-home mold remediation. A hallway that smells like wet earth every November in an East Hill split-level is mold odor removal. Gray spots across a bathroom ceiling in a 1990s two-story with a fan that goes nowhere is bathroom mold removal.
The dam up the valley and the permit desk downtown
The Army Corps of Engineers operates Howard Hanson Dam in the Green River gorge above the valley and credits it with preventing billions of dollars in flood damage since 2009. Any rebuild that follows mold removal inside the city, from new subfloor to a rerouted bath fan, goes through the City of Kent, and the provider handles that filing.
Call (425) 584-6572 and tell us where the house is wet. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Kent.
