The process
The humidity & condensation mold control process in Somerville, MA
Inspect
A hygrometer reads humidity room by room while the inspector traces where condensation forms and why.
Contain
Any area with active growth is isolated before cleaning, so spores do not travel through the rest of the house.
Remove
Growth on window frames, drywall or duct exteriors is cleaned or cut out depending on the surface and the extent.
Dry
The humidity source itself is addressed, since surface cleaning alone lets condensation come straight back.
Verify
Humidity readings and the treated surfaces are rechecked against the 30 to 50 percent target.

Good to know
Humidity & Condensation Mold Control in Somerville, MA: common questions
Can Massachusetts's dry climate still have a mold problem?
Yes. Condensation from temperature differences, a humidifier or poor ventilation creates localized damp spots even in a generally dry climate.
Can a humidifier cause mold?
It can. Evaporative coolers add a lot of moisture to indoor air, which turns up as growth near ducts, vents and ceiling penetrations.
Do you check ductwork for condensation mold?
Yes. Ductwork and register boots are inspected, since sweating ducts in a crawl space or attic are a common and easily missed source.
How soon can you start humidity & condensation mold control in Somerville?
The line is answered 24/7, and a crew can usually reach a Somerville home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Why does mold keep coming back on my window sill?
Because the condensation keeps forming. Until the insulation gap or the indoor humidity is corrected, wiping it away is only temporary.
Is condensation mold less serious than mold from a flood?
It is usually smaller in scope, but it keeps spreading as long as the underlying humidity problem goes uncorrected.
Do I need to leave my Somerville home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Somerville home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Somerville?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Somerville, including Winter Hill, East Somerville, Cambridge, and the rest of the Somerville area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
