Common mold scenarios we assess in Sweetwater
Beyond a standard walkthrough, we connect symptoms to the places mold hides in Florida homes—HVAC, kitchens, closets, crawlspaces, and wall cavities.
AC & ductwork mold
Condensation in air handlers, coils, and ducts spreads spores every time the system runs. We inspect accessible HVAC components and use air sampling when duct contamination is suspected.
Kitchen mold
Leaks under sinks, at dishwashers, and behind refrigerators create hidden moisture. We map wet areas and sample where food-prep surfaces may be affected.
Closet & enclosed spaces
Poor airflow on exterior walls leads to surface mold on contents and drywall. Thermal imaging and moisture readings help locate the moisture source.
Crawlspace & subfloor
Ground moisture and stack effect can pull mold spores into living areas. Crawlspace conditions are assessed relative to indoor air when symptoms suggest below-grade sources.
Hidden mold
When you smell mold or had water damage but see nothing obvious, we combine history, moisture mapping, and lab-backed sampling to target wall and cavity risks.
