Mold Removal in Renton Highlands, WA
The Renton Highlands were built in a hurry. When Boeing opened its Renton plant in 1941 and B-29 production took off, the federal government paid for blocks of war-worker housing on the plateau northeast of downtown, and in 1945 the city annexed the Highlands and 7,500 new residents with them. Those small houses, many of them still standing on their original lots along NE 4th and Sunset, were joined by 1950s and 1960s ramblers and, farther east, by 1980s and 1990s plats toward the East Plateau.
A 1943 house built for a two-year war is now eighty years old on a crawl space over bare soil, with a bathroom that may never have had a fan and a yard that has settled toward the foundation. The Highlands are also high enough that the north walls stay cold and the sills sweat from October to May.
Highlands homeowners who call this line reach one independent local mold provider who knows the wartime plats. We connect the call; the provider meters the house.
Renton Highlands mold removal in the wartime houses
A gray closet ceiling and a soft sill in a 1943 house on a crawl space is mold removal. A smell like wet dirt that fills the hallway every November is mold odor removal. Spots that return every winter on a bathroom ceiling with no fan is bathroom mold removal.
The war-production school that became a college
Renton Technical College on NE 4th Street started in 1941 as a war-production school training workers for the plant below the hill, and it still teaches the trades, including the construction and HVAC programs that produce the people who fix these houses.
