What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Fairbanks
Our local pros provide mold removal services in Fairbanks and the surrounding area, including Clear Creek Park, Aurora, and Slaterville. Only 13.01 inches of precipitation a year, in an interior basin underlain by discontinuous permafrost where thawing ground moves foundations unpredictably.
Housing stock
The median home in Fairbanks dates to 1979, and 74.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Wood frame on crawlspaces, posts and heated slabs predominates with a median build year of 1979, much of it detailed to keep ground heat away from frozen soil.
Climate and water risk
Of the 13.01 inches that arrive in an average year, 2.62 fall in July; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 2.4 miles away at AURORA. July peaks at 2.62 inches and the annual total is small, but drying capacity is smaller still. Deep winter locks moisture in place for months, and where warmth from a building reaches permafrost the thaw produces water and settlement at the same time.
Common moisture and mold problems in Fairbanks
- Discontinuous permafrost thawing under heated structures and producing settlement with meltwater
- Extreme winter cold locking any autumn moisture in place until spring breakup
- Crawlspaces and post foundations detailed to keep building heat out of frozen ground
- Spring breakup delivering a season's melt over a few weeks onto still-frozen subsoil

Frequently asked questions
How does permafrost cause a water problem rather than just a structural one?
They arrive together. Heat from a building thaws ground that has been frozen indefinitely; that ice becomes water and the soil loses volume at the same time. The result is settlement and saturation from the same cause, which is why foundation movement and moisture here are usually one investigation.
Thirteen inches of precipitation. Can a building really stay wet?
Yes, because almost nothing evaporates for much of the year. Drying requires energy and air movement, and a deep-winter interior climate supplies neither to a crawlspace or wall cavity. Small amounts of water accumulate over months rather than clearing between events.
Why is breakup treated as its own season?
Because the ground is still frozen below while the surface releases. Meltwater cannot infiltrate and runs laterally across a frozen layer until it meets something, often a foundation. It is a short, concentrated period that delivers most of the year's liquid water at ground level at once.
