Basement Mold vs. Basement Humidity

Basement mold usually forms when the environment stays damp long enough for growth to develop on framing, drywall, stored materials, or cold surfaces. Humidity, seepage, and poor air movement are all common contributors.

AirGuard looks at the lower-level environment as a system. The inspection should explain what is active mold, what is a moisture symptom, and where waterproofing-related improvements or ventilation changes may help.
