If you’re concerned about mold in a Puyallup home, rental property, condo, or commercial building, 5 Microns Inc. provides independent, lab-verified mold testing throughout Pierce County.
We perform testing only — not remediation — ensuring objective results without contractor-driven sales pressure.
We serve neighborhoods including:

South Hill and surrounding developments include newer construction. Construction moisture or inadequate dry-out during framing can contribute to hidden mold conditions.
Puyallup includes apartments and rental homes where repeated leaks or deferred maintenance can allow mold to develop over time.
We tailor the inspection scope depending on your concern — real estate due diligence, musty odors, visible staining, tenant complaints, health sensitivities, or post-remediation verification.
All samples are analyzed by accredited environmental laboratories.
