Making the call

The number on this page puts you in touch with an independent company that removes mold from walls in Maple Valley and nearby southeast King County.

Be ready to describe where the problem is, when it started and what might have caused it, such as a plumbing repair, a heavy storm or standing water in the yard. Expect the company to measure moisture inside the wall before any demolition and to explain the containment, removal and drying plan in writing, along with who handles the leak repair.

Local factors in Maple Valley

Maple Valley, about 22 miles southeast of Seattle, incorporated in 1997 and grew up around SR 169 and the Four Corners commercial area. The median home was built around 2002, so much of the housing is fairly new, but newer homes still get wet walls from failed supply lines, window installation gaps and condensation. Lake Wilderness, Lake Lucerne, Rock Creek and part of Pipe Lake lie within city limits, and the Cedar River passes just outside the northeast border. In the Cedar Downs and Cedar Downs Village neighborhoods in the northwest part of the city, the city reports long-standing localized flooding from drainage problems such as filled or modified ditches and poorly maintained stormwater facilities. Yards that pond after heavy rain can push water toward foundations and lower walls. Building permit questions go to the city's Economic and Community Development Department.

Before the visit

  • Note whether water pools near the house after storms
  • Check gutters and downspouts for overflow
  • Take photos of the wall and the floor beneath it
  • Clear access to the wall and any nearby crawl space hatch or garage

Mold in Walls & Drywall questions in Maple Valley

How do I check a company before it opens my walls?
Washington has no state mold license or certification. Confirm the business is registered with Washington L&I as a construction contractor on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool, get written bids from more than one company, and pay as phases are finished rather than up front.
Why does the same outside wall get moldy every winter?
Warm indoor air condenses on a cold exterior wall where furniture or a closet blocks airflow, and a long Puget Sound winter keeps that surface damp for months. Steady heat, running bath and kitchen fans, and a gap behind furniture help; growth that keeps returning can also point to missing insulation.
I rent and there's mold on my walls. What can I do?
In general, Washington landlords must keep units reasonably weathertight, keep walls and plumbing in good repair, and give tenants Department of Health-approved mold information. Report the leak or moisture to the landlord in writing; for most non-emergency problems the landlord has 10 days to start repairs. Maple Valley Code Enforcement enforces housing codes and investigates substandard or dangerous buildings. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can moldy studs be cleaned, or do they have to be replaced?
Solid framing with surface growth is normally cleaned, dried and checked with a moisture meter before the wall is closed. Wood that has gone soft or rotted needs repair, and framing work may need a building permit.
