As an inspector with more than 4500 completed inspections, I run my business with one goal in mind - to perform the most thorough inspection I can so that you don't face unwelcome surprises. In addition to my home inspection experience, I am a former Chairman of the State Home Inspector Advisory Board which developed the Standards of Practice for Washington State. I am also a former member of the Washington State Building Code Council and wrote a short book for home sellers titled Surviving the Home Inspection. The inspection will include all the elements of the Washington State SoP. From top to bottom, I will inspect your home. If safe, I will walk the roof, crawl the crawlspace, and remove covers for electrical panels. Reports are completed on the same day and include digital pictures and video. Your comfort and safety in your home is my utmost priority.
"It seemed to go OK - he was on time and friendly. But, after the inspection we discovered that a number of issues had been overlooked or poorly evaluated. Through a series of unexpected circumstances, we've moved 4 times in the past 6 years - yuck! That, combined with the fact that we've owned about 10 houses over the years (including 2 ranches) has given us a lot of exposure to inspectors. This inspector just missed too many things & didn't pay attention to details. For example, the shop had an attic that was accessed by a drop down ladder. The inspector had noted that the roof was in poor shape, but he failed to climb the ladder to see if it had been leaking. He stated that "access to ladder was obstructed and he could not access the attic." But the realtor and I both had no trouble in dropping the ladder and crawling up for a look. There was no blockage AT ALL! Unfortunately, we didn't have a flashlight, so we couldn't see much. In my opinion, he just got lazy or in a hurry. His failure ultimately will cost us over $10,000 - the shop roof was leaking and now needs a full replacement. Had he simply taken the time to check this out - especially since he'd already noted the roof was in poor condition (which should have been a red-flag causing him to investigate further) we could have required to seller to address the issue - but he just blew it off and by the time I could look again (we lived three hours from home in question), and take a flashlight, the inspection period had passed. Access was unhampered, he just chose not to do his job and justified it by saying access was blocked. He failed in a number of other ways too (like a failure to conduct or even suggest radon testing). Very disappointed. If you want a quick, "once over lightly" inspection, he's your guy. If you need a detailed assessment of a property you're planning to buy, I would not recommend him - period!"

FAQs for mold testing and remediation projects in Colfax, WA
Some states require mold removal specialists to be licensed, while others require licensed mold testing companies to create remediation protocols that any contractor can carry out. You can use our state licensing tool to find requirements in your area. In either case, it’s imperative that you hire an experienced professional for mold removal to ensure the safety of your home and your family.
It’s possible to scrub mold off of visible surfaces yourself, but it’s not usually a good idea. Mold is not only a potential health risk, but it’s also difficult to treat in its entirety, especially because it can grow behind walls and in other hidden areas a DIYer might miss. Since mold is a serious and often pervasive issue, you should hire a professional that will remove all of the mold—including any that might be hidden—run industrial air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and complete mold testing to ensure the underlying problem is solved.
The most effective way to remove mold includes testing affected surfaces and the air for spores, creating a protocol for removal, carrying out the steps within the protocol, running air scrubbers for the recommended amount of time, and then completing a post-remediation round of testing to confirm the issue is solved. Since this work is very involved and there are health risks if done incorrectly, you should always hire an experienced professional to handle mold removal.
The average cost for mold remediation is around $2,200, and most projects fall somewhere between $1,100 and $3,300. Your total will depend on many factors, including the surface area that is affected by mold, the extent of the issue, how much building material your professional needs to replace, whether or not testing is necessary for safety reasons, and existing indoor air quality.
Mold removal will take between one and five days in most cases, but severe mold issues can take several weeks to correct. Your timeline will depend on how much mold there is in your home, where the mold is located, and how much testing and aftercare is required. If you have mold behind your walls or you have an excessive amount of mold that requires removal and running air scrubbers for several days, you could be looking at over a week for the process to be completed.
