Housing stock in Washington

70% of roughly 356,101 housing units predate 1980, and 59% of occupied homes are rented. Age of stock matters for water losses because older assemblies dry more slowly and older supply lines fail more often — and tenure matters because who pays for remediation turns on it. Who pays →

Washington restoration: common questions

How many restoration firms are there in Washington?

We hold verified credential records for 5 firms in Washington. That is a count of what we could verify, not a count of every firm operating here — a firm we hold no record for is simply one we could not check.

What are Washington restoration firms certified in?

The credentials most often on record here are CCT (Carpet Cleaning Technician, 3 firms), WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician, 2 firms), AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician, 1 firm), FSRT (Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technician, 1 firm). Each was checked against IICRC's own registry rather than the firm's marketing.

Does Washington require a licensed mold contractor?

District of Columbia requires a licence for more than 10 affected square feet (20 DCMR §3201.2) (20 DCMR §3201.2), issued by Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) — the rule is statewide, not local. DC does not bar one licensee from doing both. DOEE proposed exactly that rule as §3204.5(j) in 2018 and dropped it from the final rule adopted 19 April 2021, on the reasoning that requiring separate professionals could be more burdensome and costly for landlords and could delay remediation for tenants. What DC imposes instead: a licensee may not assess or remediate a property in which they or their company hold a financial interest (20 DCMR §3204.5(b)); may not pay or accept a referral fee between mold licensees (§3204.5(a)); and must disclose any known or potential conflict of interest to affected parties (§3204.4(c)).

Is older housing a factor in Washington?

70% of Washington's roughly 356,101 housing units were built before 1980, and 32% before 1940. Older stock more often carries galvanised or cast-iron supply lines, cavity constructions that dry slowly, and materials that predate modern vapour control — which is context for a water loss, not a prediction about any particular building.
