IICRC CertifiedSuspect Mold? Here's What to Do Right Now
If you've found mold in your Lexington home, 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 Lexington, SC
Lake Murray and Lexington County's climate create specific mold conditions that differ from inland Midlands communities.
Lake Murray Waterfront Humidity
Properties near Lake Murray experience elevated ambient humidity throughout the warm season as the lake surface continuously evaporates into surrounding air. Lakefront homes, dock-adjacent structures, and properties within a mile of the shoreline see indoor humidity levels that challenge even properly functioning HVAC systems, creating baseline conditions for mold growth on building materials and contents.
Crawl Space Moisture Accumulation
Lexington County has a high concentration of crawl space foundations, particularly in neighborhoods built before 1990. Ground vapor migrates upward into crawl spaces that lack adequate vapor barriers or ventilation, raising subfloor and floor framing moisture to levels where mold colonizes within months. Lake Murray proximity amplifies this problem for lakefront and near-lake neighborhoods.
HVAC Condensation and Duct Mold
Lexington's long, humid summers push air conditioning systems to run nearly continuously. Condensation accumulates on duct surfaces, in air handlers, and on duct insulation throughout the mechanical system. When drain lines clog or condensate pans overflow, moisture spreads to surrounding building materials and mold begins within 24 to 48 hours.
Post-Flood Residual Moisture
Lake Murray's upstream position on the Saluda River means flooding events downstream affect lower-lying Lexington neighborhoods. Flooding events that appear to dry on the surface often leave residual moisture in wall cavities, subfloor assemblies, and under vinyl flooring that is not visible without moisture meters. Without professional drying verification, mold establishes in concealed locations.
Aging Housing in Downtown Lexington
Downtown Lexington's older neighborhoods include bungalows and ranch homes built between the 1940s and 1970s with original plaster walls, minimal insulation, and plumbing that has been repaired and extended multiple times. These assemblies lack the vapor control of modern construction and accumulate moisture in ways that are difficult to diagnose without professional inspection equipment.
