IICRC CertifiedSuspect Mold? Here's What to Do Right Now
If you've found mold in your Edgefield 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 Edgefield, SC
Edgefield's historic construction, creek system drainage, and private well conditions create distinct mold risk across this Edgefield County community.
Crawl Space Moisture in Pre-1920 and Early Twentieth Century Construction
Edgefield's historic core and surrounding residential areas carry a significant share of housing that predates modern moisture management practices. Homes from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were built with minimal crawl space vapor control, original brick pier foundations with open cross-ventilation, and wood framing that has been in contact with soil moisture for over a century. These original assemblies have developed mold tolerance across their age, but active remediation of crawl space conditions in historic Edgefield properties restores air quality and stops progressive structural decay in original floor framing.
Well and Pressure System Failures in Rural Edgefield County Properties
Edgefield's rural residential properties and the farmhouses throughout Edgefield County are served by private wells where pressure tank failures, aging bladder assemblies, and deteriorating supply connections introduce water into utility areas and well houses adjacent to the residence. In Edgefield's humid Piedmont climate, even slow moisture accumulation in utility spaces establishes mold growth in the original wood framing and storage materials that surround aging well equipment.
Creek System Flooding and Agricultural Drainage Near Residential Areas
Edgefield County's creek system — including the drainages that flow toward Augusta and the Savannah River watershed — produces periodic flooding in the lowest-elevation residential areas during significant rainfall events. Properties along these creek systems experience post-flood moisture conditions in crawl spaces and lower-level assemblies that establish mold in original framing within days of inundation. The agricultural land that borders many of these creek systems contributes organic load to flood events that accelerates biological growth.
Historic Masonry and Original Plaster Moisture Absorption
Edgefield's historic residential and commercial structures include original masonry walls and interior plaster-and-lath construction that manage moisture differently than modern assemblies. Original lime mortar joints in historic brick absorb and release moisture across seasonal cycles, and the moisture content of these assemblies during wet seasons can exceed the threshold that triggers mold on adjacent wood elements and behind original plaster surfaces. Historic mold remediation in Edgefield's older structures requires techniques that respect original material while addressing underlying moisture conditions.
Aging HVAC Configurations in Long-Occupied Properties
Edgefield's residential properties span from historic homes that were not originally designed for central HVAC to mid-twentieth century homes where original systems have been in service for decades. Original duct configurations added to historic homes often create condensate conditions in improvised runs, and aging HVAC equipment in Edgefield's longer-occupied properties develops the condensate overflow and equipment failure modes that establish mold in ceiling and wall assemblies during the extended high-humidity summer months.
