Alright Auburn—it’s fall. The leaves are dropping, the rain is back, and your house? It’s sitting there like, “Please, no leaks this year. I can’t take it.” But let’s be real—fall in Washington is like that friend who says they’re just “coming over for a minute” and then ends up staying all weekend. The rain doesn’t just show up—it moves in, brings its bags, and invites mold to the party.

And mold? Mold’s that guest you don’t want. It shows up uninvited, spreads out all over your walls and carpets, and before you know it, you’re Googling “how much does a hazmat suit cost?” That’s why water damage protection isn’t optional—it’s survival.

That’s where Carpet Care Northwest comes in. For over 40 years, we’ve been helping Auburn homeowners keep their homes dry, safe, and mold-free.


Why Fall Is the Prime Time for Water Damage

The season is beautiful—pumpkin patches, football games, cozy sweaters. But your home is in a fight for its life against:

  • Falling Leaves Clogging Gutters: Leaves block drainage, water overflows, and suddenly you’ve got a waterfall into your basement.

  • Heavy Rain & Damp Weather: Constant moisture creates the perfect environment for mold to grow.

  • Foundation Cracks: Water sneaks in through tiny gaps, slowly damaging the structure.

  • Carpets Soaking It Up: Carpets don’t just get wet—they hold onto moisture like your tita hoards plastic grocery bags.

It’s like the perfect storm—and if you don’t catch it early, mold will move in like it owns the place.


Why DIY Won’t Save You

Yeah, you could try fans, dehumidifiers, or sprinkling baking soda like it’s magic powder. But here’s the truth:

  • Hidden Damage: Water seeps under carpets and behind walls—you won’t even see half of it.

  • Mold Moves Fast: Within 24–48 hours, it’s already spreading.

  • Health Risks: Mold spores trigger allergies, asthma, and can wreck your indoor air quality.

DIY isn’t enough. You need pros who know exactly where to look and how to stop water damage before it gets worse.
