Self-Assessment
Does your home need prevention?
If two or more of these risk factors apply to your home, proactive prevention can save you thousands in future remediation costs.
High humidity home
High RiskIndoor humidity consistently above 50%. Condensation on windows, musty closets, or damp-feeling air.
Previous mold problems
High RiskHistory of mold growth in any area. Without prevention, mold returns in 60% of remediated homes.
Recent water damage
High RiskFlooding, leaks, or burst pipes within the past year. Mold can grow in hidden areas for months.
Crawl space or basement
Below-grade areas trap moisture. Most Georgia homes with these spaces have elevated mold risk.
Poor ventilation
Bathrooms without exhaust fans, enclosed spaces, or areas with stagnant air.
Family health sensitivities
Allergies, asthma, or immune conditions. Prevention is critical when mold exposure poses health risks.

Why Georgia homes need prevention
Northeast Georgia's humid subtropical climate creates year-round conditions for mold growth. Unlike northern states where winter freezes kill spores, our mild winters allow mold to thrive 365 days a year.

Common Questions
Mold prevention FAQs
What's the difference between mold prevention and remediation?
Prevention is proactive—we treat your home before mold grows, creating a protective barrier. Remediation is reactive—removing mold that has already established. Prevention costs 70-90% less than remediation and eliminates health exposure entirely. Think of it like dental cleanings vs. root canals.
How often should I have preventive treatment done?
For most Georgia homes, annual treatment provides excellent protection. Homes with crawl spaces, history of moisture issues, or family members with respiratory sensitivities benefit from quarterly treatment. We'll recommend the right schedule based on your risk assessment.
Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely. We use hypochlorous acid (HOCL), the same compound your immune system produces to fight pathogens. It's EPA-registered, non-toxic, and leaves no harmful residue. You can return to treated areas within one hour. Many hospitals use HOCL for sanitization.
Can you prevent mold in a home that's already had mold?
Yes—and this is one of the most important applications. After professional remediation, 60% of homes experience mold return within 2 years. Our prevention treatment breaks this cycle by creating a hostile environment for mold regrowth. We recommend treatment immediately after any remediation work.
Why is Georgia especially prone to mold?
Georgia's humid subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for mold growth year-round. Summer humidity regularly exceeds 70-80%, and our mild winters don't kill mold spores like northern freezes do. Combined with our common home features (crawl spaces, older HVAC systems), proactive prevention is essential—not optional.
What areas of my home need prevention treatment?
The most critical areas are crawl spaces, basements, attics, and HVAC systems—places where moisture accumulates and airflow is limited. We also treat bathrooms, laundry areas, and anywhere with history of water damage. Our assessment identifies all your vulnerable zones.
