Mold and Moisture Intrusion

When moisture gets into building materials, mold usually isn't far behind. If you're concerned that mold growth, it may be time to call in the experts.

Argus Pacific's consulting professionals can determine whether mold is present, how much and what types have grown, and how to best remediate the affected area, including suggestions for minimizing the risk of future problems. Once remediation is complete, we conduct an exit evaluation to ensure that the work was done properly.

The clock is ticking when it comes to mold. You can count on us for quick inspection services, and a practical remediation protocol so you can get to work doing repairs and restoration.

Mold Found in School's Pool Area

Maplewood Elementary School
Edmonds School District

In 2005, an Argus Pacific mold expert evaluated visible growth of suspected mold in the Maplewood School pool area. We found excess moisture and visible mold growth in gypsum wallboard (GWB), likely caused by two inoperable humidity control units in the HVAC system.

Our consultant developed a remediation protocol, which included the removal of GWB and insulation on the affected wall.

When the work was completed, we conducted an exit evaluation to confirm proper remediation.

Our final report included several recommendations: repair and proper maintenance of the HVAC system, application of mold inhibiting paints, and continual relative humidity monitoring.
