What Drives Mold in Savannah Homes
Savannah sits on low coastal land, and heat and humidity run most of the year. Mold grows fast on anything that stays damp. Many older homes sit on raised foundations over crawlspaces that stay wet, and air conditioners that run nonstop can drip from a clogged condensate line into ceilings and walls.
The highest tides of the year can push water into low streets, and a heavy summer storm can flood roads in an hour. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and long outages stop fans and air conditioning while a house is still wet.
The Georgia Department of Public Health offers no services for indoor mold in homes. Its environmental health staff regulate mold only in places like hotels and motels. 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.
Questions to Ask Before You Hire
- Do you also do remediation? If so, who checks your work?
- How many air samples will you take, and will you take an outdoor control sample?
- Which lab analyzes the samples, and is it accredited?
- Will the report include moisture readings and photos, not only lab numbers?
- Are you licensed as a mold assessor where this home is?
