A Word From the President:
I am Jerzy Radka, the CEO and founder of Wet Basement Services. Allow me to share a deeply personal story about the dangers of mold. My wife, a cancer survivor and a mother of five, has endured a lifetime of health challenges directly related to the mold-infested home she grew up in. These illnesses, including fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases, are irreversible and have significantly impacted her quality of life.
When my wife was growing up, the dangers of mold were largely unknown. Her home, while charming and old, was unknowingly a toxic environment. Upon completion of my Master’s Degree in Forestry, my postgraduate studies in environmental protection led me to work closely with medical professionals researching mold's effects on humans. After learning about these risks, I insisted on testing her home, despite the high cost and limited availability of such tests at the time. The results were alarming, revealing dangerous levels of mold.
My wife had no other option but to abandon her belongings and leave the home she'd always known. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. Mycotoxins are insidious and silent killers. Our experience has taught me the importance of creating safe and healthy living spaces.
Despite her suffering, she remains an incredible woman, facing her challenges with courage and dignity. I love her dearly and witnessing her pain daily has motivated me to prevent others from experiencing what we have. Wet Basement Services was born in 1989 out of this mission. The Seattle area is full of old homes with seasonal water intrusion issues. We have dedicated our hearts and minds to developing a system which provides a permanent solution to our clients which we are proud to guarantee with a lifetime transferable warranty. When you solicit our services, what you get is our professional knowledge, expertise, and efficient communication. Our evidence based approach ensures unbiased results, allowing you to rest easy knowing that you can return to a healthy and habitable space.
