Mold & Moisture Inspections & Remediation

As a Building Science company, we apply expert knowledge to investigate, diagnose, and provide solutions for mold and moisture problems. Often times, the cause(s) of excessive moisture are not obvious. Excess moisture in a home can be a result of water intrusion, foundation leaks, insufficient ventilation, etc.

Our inspectors and technicians are trained to identify and correct any problems with moisture affecting your home or place of business. Using moisture meters, IR cameras, and Building Science knowledge, we can confidently provide a sustainable solution to any mold situation.

Common Causes of Mold Growth

High Relative Humidity

Relative Humidity (RH) is the amount of moisture in the air relative to the temperature. When RH exceeds approximately 65%, there is enough moisture in the air for mold to grow.

Common affected Spaces in the home

Crawl Space Mold - Vented and untreated crawl spaces in humid climates, (i.e. Georgia)
Basement Mold - Spaces that are below grade, especially unconditioned basements
Bathroom Mold - Inadequate ventilation in bathrooms following showering can promote the proliferation of fungal growth.

Mold & Moisture FAQs

Why are basements & crawl spaces more likely to have mold growth?

Basements and crawlspaces are more susceptible to mold growth because they are below grade, meaning that they are surrounded by Earth below and on at least one side. Basements and crawlspaces often have higher relative humidity because the air temperature is cooler below grade and ultimately does not hold as much moisture as air above grade.
