What Drives Mold in Louisville Homes
Louisville is humid for much of the year. Basements and crawlspaces stay damp from spring through fall, and mold grows on stored boxes, wood framing and the back of finished drywall. Older neighborhoods like Old Louisville, the Highlands and Germantown have many homes with old stone or brick foundations that let groundwater seep in.
The Ohio River is held back by a floodwall and pump stations, so the more common problem is rain. Heavy summer storms can drop more water than streets and sewers can carry, and flash flooding has filled basements across the city before. Water that comes in through a floor drain is contaminated, and wet materials should come out, not just be dried.
If you rent and have a problem your landlord has not fixed, you can report it to Metro 311 for property maintenance code enforcement. Hire an inspector who does not also sell mold removal, so the report has no reason to find more work than is there.
Hire an Independent Inspector
A mold inspector tells you whether you have a problem, where it is and what caused it. A remediator removes it. When the same company does both, it has a reason to find mold. If you can, hire an inspector who does not do remediation, and ask the remediator to follow that inspector’s written plan.
Ask the inspector what the visit includes. A good one looks for the moisture source first, uses a moisture meter and often a thermal camera, and only takes air or surface samples when the result will change what you do. After the work, a clearance test by the same independent inspector shows whether the job is done.
Can You Handle It Yourself
Call a pro
Home test kits that grow spores in a dish almost always grow something, because mold spores are everywhere. They cannot tell you whether you have a problem. A moisture meter and a flashlight will tell you more for less money.
