Testing & Remediation Must Stay Independent
In District of Columbia, state law (regulated by DOEE) prohibits the same company from performing both assessment and remediation on the same property. This legal separation prevents fraud and protects homeowners.
Verified Remediation enforces this separation by only listing providers who specialize in one service. Assessors write the protocol; remediators execute it. Neither profits from the other's work.
Washington Mold Conditions
Primary mold risks come from basement moisture caused by freeze-thaw cycles affecting foundations. Older housing stock presents higher risk of hidden mold in pipe chases and uninsulated exterior walls.
Moderate to high (50-70% average)
Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus
Our Recommendation
For properties in Washington, prompt water extraction is critical. Mold can colonize damp materials within 24-48 hours. Verified providers in District of Columbia follow IICRC S520 standards for professional assessment and remediation.
