IICRC CertifiedSuspect Mold? Here's What to Do Right Now
If you've found mold in your Aiken property, take these steps before our team arrives.
✓ DO These Things
- 1.Call us at 888-742-3085 to schedule a professional mold inspection
- 2.Avoid disturbing the mold — agitation releases spores into the air
- 3.Increase ventilation in the affected area if possible (open windows)
- 4.Keep HVAC off in the affected area to prevent spreading spores
- 5.Document visible mold with photos for insurance purposes
✗ DON'T Do These Things
- 1.Don't try to clean mold yourself — improper cleanup spreads contamination
- 2.Don't use bleach on mold — it doesn't kill mold on porous surfaces and creates toxic fumes
- 3.Don't paint over mold — it grows right through paint
- 4.Don't ignore musty smells — hidden mold may be behind walls or under flooring
- 5.Don't delay action — mold spreads rapidly and health risks increase with exposure
Our Mold Remediation Process
Professional Mold Inspection
Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive inspection using moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual assessment to identify all mold-affected areas.
Mold Testing & Lab Analysis
Air quality and surface samples are collected and sent to an independent lab. Results identify mold species, concentration levels, and guide our remediation approach.
Containment & Air Filtration
We isolate affected areas with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent spore spread. HEPA air scrubbers filter airborne mold spores continuously.
Mold Removal & Treatment
Mold-affected materials are carefully removed following IICRC protocols. Remaining surfaces are treated with professional-grade antimicrobial solutions.
Cleaning & HEPA Vacuuming
All surfaces in the contained area are thoroughly cleaned and HEPA vacuumed. Air quality testing confirms successful remediation.
Restoration & Prevention
We repair or replace removed materials and address the moisture source that caused mold growth to prevent recurrence.

Common Causes of Mold in Aiken, SC
Aiken's climate and older housing stock make mold remediation one of our most frequent calls in the CSRA region.
Crawl Space Moisture Accumulation
The majority of Aiken's older residential stock sits on crawl space foundations with minimal or degraded vapor barriers. Aiken County's warm, humid climate keeps ambient crawl space humidity elevated throughout the year, creating conditions where mold colonizes floor framing and subfloor sheathing without any acute water event.
HVAC Condensation and Ductwork Mold
Aiken's long summers push HVAC systems to run nearly continuously, and the resulting condensation creates moisture on duct surfaces, in air handlers, and on insulation throughout the mechanical system. Mold growing inside ductwork distributes spores throughout every room the system serves.
Unaddressed Water Damage
Supply line failures, roof leaks, and appliance water events in Aiken's older homes often go partially unaddressed — the visible water is cleaned up but structural moisture remains in wall cavities and subfloor assemblies. Without professional drying and monitoring, mold establishes within 48 hours of the initial event.
Historic Home Assemblies
Aiken's historic downtown properties contain original building assemblies with minimal vapor control — plaster walls on wood lath, brick foundations, and wood-framed crawl spaces that were never designed to manage moisture to modern standards. These assemblies accumulate moisture over decades in ways that can't be corrected without addressing the underlying building envelope.
Outdoor Humidity Infiltration
Aiken's proximity to the Savannah River basin creates a regional humidity environment that differs from the drier inland Piedmont. Properties with older weatherstripping, single-pane windows, and inadequate building envelope sealing exchange conditioned indoor air with high-humidity outdoor air continuously throughout the summer.
