Mold Remediation — Bellevue FAQs
Real answers to the questions we hear every week.
Do you work with insurance?
Yes — we bill your insurance directly. We handle the photo documentation, moisture readings, scope sheets, and Xactimate line items that adjusters need. You pay your deductible; we invoice your carrier for the rest. If an adjuster pushes back on a line item we know is covered, we stay on the file until it's resolved.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician on a Complete Restoration of Bellevue job is licensed or IICRC-certified, with a minimum of 5 years of field experience. We carry general liability and workers' comp insurance, and we'll provide proof on request before we start work.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Emergency assessment and scope estimate are free. If the job is going through insurance, we bill the carrier and you pay your deductible. If it's out of pocket, we give you a written scope and price before any work starts.
When is mold a real health issue versus just unsightly?
Small surface mold on grout or caulking — under 10 square feet, in a well-ventilated room — can usually be cleaned with a household product. Mold behind drywall, in HVAC systems, in crawlspaces, or larger than about 10 square feet warrants professional remediation. Symptoms that track with mold exposure (chronic cough, sinus congestion, eye irritation, fatigue that clears when you leave the house) are a stronger signal than just visible mold. Bellevue's damp climate makes crawlspace and attic mold particularly common.
Does insurance cover mold remediation?
Sometimes. Most WA homeowners policies cover mold only when it's a direct result of a covered loss (e.g., the mold grew because of a sudden burst pipe). Long-term moisture issues, poor ventilation, and deferred maintenance are usually excluded. Many policies have a mold sublimit ($5,000–$10,000 is common). We'll look at your policy with you before the scope is finalized.
Do you test for mold, or just remove it?
For smaller visible mold situations we inspect, scope, and remediate without lab testing. For complex cases — hidden mold, HVAC contamination, post-remediation verification, health-sensitive occupants — we coordinate with an independent industrial hygienist for pre- and post-testing. Independent testing matters: a remediator who also does their own "clearance test" has a conflict of interest, and we don't do that.
