About this company

PuroClean Northwest is a Lynnwood, Washington restoration franchise owned by Bob Jordan, operating since 2017. Jordan wrote "The Mitigation Handbook," a book on property damage mitigation covering water, fire, odor, mold, biohazard, hoarding, and commercial large loss. The company runs 24/7 emergency service across Snohomish County, Skagit County, Island County, Whatcom County, and San Juan County, serving both residential and commercial properties.

On the mold side, they do both testing and remediation. Their website references IICRC certification and describes Washington State's requirement for a certified mold inspector to identify mold. They use air sampling and tape-lift surface testing, with remediation services covering roof leak mold, weather-related mold, and crawlspace issues. Beyond mold, they handle water damage mitigation, fire and smoke damage, biohazard cleanup, cigarette smoke odor removal, and commercial restoration.

Jordan holds a GSA (General Services Administration) contract, meaning PuroClean Northwest services federal properties — including courthouses, the Bothell FDA building, post offices, and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. That federal contracting credential is unusual for a local restoration franchise and signals a level of vetting most competitors lack.

4.8 stars across 129 Google reviews is strong. Only one negative review surfaced in the last 18 months, and the owner's response indicates the complaint may have been directed at the wrong PuroClean location. Reviewers consistently name specific crew members — Bob, JT, Travis, Alejandro, Lee, Angela — which suggests stable staffing rather than a rotating door of subcontractors.

Review consensus

What reviewers praise

Bob Jordan (owner) is named by Van Vo, Carmen, Lilly Garcia, Ellen Beal, KeeKay, Ion Javeri, Kristen Cunningham, and others for hands-on involvement, clear explanations, and willingness to do the physical work himself. JT (John) draws praise from Derek Mathis, M. Foster, Kwyet Storm, Ko Ko Maung, Krystal Medina, D.V., and Michael Meagher for detailed assessments and honest scoping — D.V. specifically notes JT told them their issue was not severe enough to warrant full service and showed them how to handle it themselves. Travis Dick is named by Alyssa Anderson, Brian Zenk, Cynthia Cote, and others for consistent follow-through on multi-visit jobs. Alejandro Cortes appears in reviews from Susan Choi, Casey Cosley, Lesle Zayat, Ao Shen, Ko Ko Maung, and Zach Peterson for courtesy and patience. Angela Singleton is praised by Yumi P and Allison Erickson for urgency and care. Jeremie Vigliaturo is noted by Paul Michael and Carol W. for responsiveness and clear process explanations.

What low reviews reveal

1 found across 129 total reviews at 4.8★. One 1-star review from Tanya Hines describes a crew tearing into her elderly parents' walls, leaving humidifiers running, and then never returning or answering calls — leaving her 75-year-old parents sleeping on the living room floor. The owner responded the same day saying they cannot locate any customer record for her parents and suggesting the work may have been performed by a different PuroClean franchise. The reviewer is a Local Guide with 13 reviews, lending some credibility, but the owner's inability to find the account raises the possibility this was directed at the wrong location.

Pattern worth noting

The standout pattern is how many reviewers name multiple crew members by full name — Ko Ko Maung names six people, Mark Ippolito names five, Demon Wolves names six. This level of name recall across different reviewers suggests a stable, recognizable team rather than anonymous subcontractors. Bob Jordan's personal involvement in jobs is another recurring theme — Brian Zenk notes "he is not afraid of hard work and doesn't ask anything of his crew that he wouldn't do himself." The single negative review's owner response is specific and investigative rather than templated, though it ultimately says the customer may be at the wrong franchise.

Bottom line

PuroClean Northwest has an unusually strong review profile for a franchise operation — 4.8 stars with only 1 negative in the last 18 months, and that single complaint may belong to a different franchise location. Ask for Bob Jordan if you want the owner involved, or JT for a no-nonsense assessment (he has a track record of telling customers when they do not need full service). Walk through the scope of work before signing, and get mold testing done independently if you want to avoid the conflict of interest.

Keep in mind

  • PuroClean Northwest does both mold testing and mold remediation. The company that finds mold is the same one that profits from removing it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation services, or ask whether their test results can be taken to another company.
  • Their claimed service area spans five counties — Snohomish, Skagit, Island, Whatcom, and San Juan — plus Seattle. That is a large geographic footprint. Confirm actual response times to your specific address, especially if you are on the outer edges in Bellingham, Friday Harbor, or Camano Island.
  • This is a PuroClean franchise, not an independent company. PuroClean locations are independently owned and operated. The one negative review highlights this confusion — the reviewer may have contacted the wrong franchise location. Make sure you are reaching the Lynnwood office directly at (425) 616-1717.
  • Most of the 129 reviews describe water damage work, not mold remediation specifically. The mold-specific reviews (Ko Ko Maung, Karen Curr, Yumi P) are positive, but you are largely evaluating their water damage reputation as a proxy for mold work.
