IICRC CertifiedSuspect Mold? Here's What to Do Right Now
If you've found mold in your Augusta home, take these steps before our Columbia crew 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 Augusta, GA
Augusta's Savannah River climate, historic housing stock, and long humid summers create above-average mold risk throughout the city.
Summerville and Olde Town Historic Construction
Augusta's Summerville and Olde Town neighborhoods contain homes built in the 19th and early 20th centuries with construction assemblies that predate modern vapor barriers — plaster walls on wood lath, brick foundations with no damp-proofing, and crawl spaces designed for ventilation rather than moisture control. These assemblies accumulate moisture from Augusta's humidity over decades in wall cavities and structural framing that is invisible to standard visual inspection.
Savannah River Basin Ambient Humidity
Augusta's position along the Savannah River means the city experiences higher ambient outdoor humidity than comparable inland Georgia cities. The river surface continuously evaporates moisture into the surrounding air, and Augusta's lower-elevation neighborhoods near the river see indoor humidity levels during the summer that exceed the 60 percent threshold where mold growth becomes possible even with functioning air conditioning.
Post-Flood Residual Moisture
Augusta and its surrounding neighborhoods have experienced Savannah River flooding events that left residual moisture in structures that was not professionally remediated. Water that appears to have dried from the surface often remains in wall cavities, subfloor assemblies, and under floor coverings for months after the visible water is gone. This long-term residual moisture supports ongoing mold growth in concealed locations that require professional moisture mapping to detect.
HVAC Condensate in High-Demand Climate
Augusta's climate requires residential air conditioning systems to run nearly continuously from April through October, producing consistent condensate loads on HVAC equipment. Drain line clogs, overflow pan failures, and evaporator coil condensation that migrates beyond the collection system are consistent mold triggers across all Augusta neighborhoods. Military housing adjacent to Fort Eisenhower is particularly prone to deferred HVAC maintenance that creates these conditions.
Fort Eisenhower Adjacent Housing Turnover
The residential communities surrounding Fort Eisenhower experience high tenant turnover associated with military reassignment cycles. Deferred maintenance, unreported water events, and HVAC neglect during occupancy gaps create conditions where mold establishes between tenants. Property managers and owners in these communities often discover mold during inspection periods between assignments, when the problem has had extended time to develop without occupant awareness.
