The young lady I spoke to on the phone was extremely kind and informative. Any question I had she could answer. She represents the company extremely well! We need more people like her.

Very disappointed with how 5 micron left my walls and building agree inspection Usually a company would take carpet up in the corner of the room they did it right in the middle 47 cuts and slashes Gave them a chance to make repairs - they refused Be careful when using them and always have someone who knows what they are doing onsite Refused to fix any of it Costing me thousands- they said the building was going to be completely renovated - reason for sloppy job but I never told them that

5 microns was so easy to work with. Absolutely loved Carole! She was so through and educating, a true pleasure to work. I was happy to give them a call and request her to come back for mold clearance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had some concerns for mold in my office after gone through some water damage a year back, and I contacted 5 microns, and they came in the following day and ran all the necessary tests. A couple days later they emailed my results with the breakdown of everything I needed to know and how to take care of my concerns! Pascal was also very professional! Highly recommend!

Pascal was very professional and attentive to our needs. He was also empathetic to our situation. He took quite a bit of time explaining things to us. The report is very detailed and professional too. Thanks 5 Microns

Why Mold Concerns Are Common in Lynnwood Properties

Located between Seattle and Everett, Lynnwood experiences prolonged rainfall and seasonal humidity typical of the Puget Sound region.

Common contributing factors in Lynnwood include:

 1970s–1990s Housing Stock

Many homes built during this period may have:

  • Aging roofing systems
  • Crawlspaces without modern vapor barriers
  • Limited attic ventilation
  • Prior plumbing leaks

 Crawlspace Moisture

Elevated crawlspace humidity is one of the most common issues in Lynnwood homes. Contributing factors include:

  • Poor exterior drainage
  • Damp soil
  • Inadequate ventilation
  • Insulation contacting subfloor framing

 Split-Level & Basement Configurations

Split-entry homes are common in Lynnwood. Lower levels can experience:

  • Foundation seepage
  • Condensation
  • Insufficient airflow

 Rental & Condo Properties

Lynnwood has a strong rental market and numerous apartment complexes. Repeated moisture issues, tenant turnover, or deferred maintenance can contribute to indoor air concerns.

What Lynnwood Mold Testing Includes

We customize the inspection scope depending on your concern — real estate transaction, musty odors, visible staining, health symptoms, or post-remediation verification.

 Visual Mold Inspection

  • Identification of moisture intrusion pathways
  • Review of suspect staining
  • Assessment of ventilation and drainage

 Moisture Diagnostics

  • Pin and non-invasive moisture readings
  • Targeted diagnostics in high-risk areas

 Air Sampling (Spore Trap Analysis)

  • Indoor samples compared to outdoor control
  • Identifies indoor amplification
  • Useful when mold is suspected but not visible

 Surface Sampling

  • Tape lift or swab sampling
  • Documentation for disputes or real estate transactions

 Clearance Testing *optional

  • Post-remediation verification
  • Confirms indoor mold levels have normalized

All samples are analyzed by accredited environmental laboratories.
