IICRC CertifiedSuspect Mold? Here's What to Do Right Now
If you've found mold in your Matthews home, take these steps before our Rock Hill 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 Matthews, NC
Matthews' Four Mile Creek flood zone, mature tree canopy, and diverse housing stock create specific mold conditions across the community.
Four Mile Creek Corridor Elevated Moisture
Four Mile Creek runs through residential portions of Matthews within FEMA-designated flood zones that affect a meaningful number of properties. Crawl spaces along the creek corridor experience elevated water table conditions during wet seasons, and properties that have never directly flooded can still show chronic moisture accumulation from groundwater proximity. This sustained elevated moisture in crawl space framing establishes mold over time without any single identifiable flooding event.
Historic Downtown Bungalow Aging Construction
The blocks near Trade Street in Matthews' historic downtown include bungalow, craftsman, and mid-century homes whose crawl spaces were built before vapor barriers were standard. These properties carry decades of accumulated moisture conditions, and their original plumbing systems are at the age range where slow leaks behind plaster walls and under original hardwood floors go undetected long enough to establish mold in wall cavities.
Mature Tree Canopy Shaded Microclimates
Matthews' extensive hardwood canopy — one of the town's defining aesthetic characteristics — creates shaded microclimates that stay moist longer after rain than open suburban lots. Homes under dense tree cover have exterior wall surfaces and roof assemblies that retain moisture more persistently, and north-facing crawl space vents in shaded areas receive less drying solar radiation than in open terrain. This sustained surface moisture creates elevated humidity inside wall assemblies and crawl spaces.
1990s-2000s Subdivision Aging Appliances
Matthews' suburban growth from the 1990s through 2010s created a large housing inventory where original appliances and HVAC systems are now entering their failure window. Refrigerator water lines, dishwasher inlet valves, and HVAC condensate drain lines installed during original construction have been in service for 15 to 25 years. These components fail at increasing rates, releasing water into finished spaces where the surrounding Mecklenburg County humidity accelerates secondary mold growth.
Post-Storm Residual Moisture After Tree Damage
Fallen trees and large limbs in Matthews' established neighborhoods frequently create roof penetrations during storm events, admitting rain into attic spaces and wall cavities. Even when the roof is repaired promptly, moisture that entered during the damage period may not have been fully extracted and dried before repairs were completed. Residual moisture in insulation, sheathing, and wall framing from a storm event can establish mold growth that becomes apparent weeks or months after the storm itself.
