Mold Outbreak - Summer 2016!

Mold Outbreak - Summer 2016!
This summer and fall we have had a constant stream of clients complaining of mold issues - many of which have never experienced prior mold issues at their property. The cause? Lots of rain, extended periods of high humidity, and underlying maintenance issues. Below we have highlighted two common themes frequently found during our mold inspections.
Damp Crawlspaces

Most crawlspaces we inspect do not have methods in place to manage crawlspace moisture. The usual culprits are missing or improperly installed vapor barriers, yard drainage issues, broken gutters and downspouts, and lack of insulation and air movement. Any of these factors can lead to mold growth. CES works with clients to formulate a plan to manage moisture below their home.

Unexplained Health Issues

We frequently receive calls from clients with unexplained health issues. Doctors aren't able to determine the cause of the illness and can point to possible environmental factors. Sure enough, sampling indicates elevated mold levels are present which could be causing the homeowner's illness. CES helps clients improve their health through improving indoor air quality.
