Two rivers, one valley
Auburn is one of the few cities in the region with two rivers: the Green River on the north and east side of town and the White River (the Stuck) to the south. In December 2025, during a week of atmospheric river storms, the City of Auburn closed Green River Road, D Street NE and South 277th Street, low-lying properties along Green River Road from Brannan Park to Auburn Black Diamond Road were warned they were especially vulnerable, and the White River was forecast to cause moderate to major flooding in Auburn, Pacific and Sumner. The Army Corps of Engineers made controlled releases from Howard Hanson Dam upstream.
Most water damage in Auburn doesn’t come from the river itself. It comes from the same long storms: saturated ground pushing water into crawl spaces and basements, storm drains that can’t keep up, and roof and window leaks. Up on Lea Hill, Lakeland Hills and West Hill, the usual causes are plumbing leaks, water heaters and wet crawl spaces.
Mold remediation in Auburn
Damp winters and homes with crawl spaces make mold a common problem in Auburn. We see it most in crawl spaces with failed vapor barriers, in attics with poor ventilation or roof leaks, and in bathrooms and closets on exterior walls. Our mold remediation includes:
- An inspection to find the mold and the moisture source behind it
- Containment and HEPA air filtration so spores don’t spread to the rest of the house
- Removal of moldy materials that can’t be cleaned, and cleaning of those that can
- Drying and fixing the moisture problem, so the mold doesn’t come back

Auburn restoration FAQs
Do you do mold testing in Auburn?
We inspect for mold and moisture, and we can arrange testing when it’s needed, for example to confirm the area is clear after remediation or when mold is suspected but not visible.
My crawl space has standing water after a storm. What should I do?
Don’t go in if there’s any chance of electrical hazards. Call us: we pump out the water, remove wet insulation, dry the space and replace the vapor barrier if needed. Standing water under the house raises humidity in the whole home and leads to mold on the floor framing.
Do you work with insurance?
Yes. We document the damage and work with most major insurance companies. Coverage depends on your policy and on where the water came from.
How fast can you get to Auburn?
We respond 24/7 from Federal Way. Our average response time is 45 minutes.
