COMMON MOLD ISSUES IN CLAYTON PROPERTIES
Clayton's mix of high-rise living, historic buildings, and upscale residential areas creates unique mold challenges we understand and address:
HIGH-RISE & CONDO HVAC ISSUES
The Challenge: Clayton's many high-rise condos and apartments have complex centralized HVAC systems that can harbor and distribute mold spores throughout units.
Common Issues: Condensation in ductwork, shared ventilation mold spread, cooling coil contamination, humid bathroom fan exhaust issues, inadequate fresh air exchange.
What We Do: HVAC-specific air sampling, supply and return vent testing, cooling coil inspection, unit-to-unit comparison testing to identify building-wide vs. unit-specific issues.
HISTORIC DOWNTOWN CLAYTON BUILDINGS
The Challenge: Downtown Clayton features beautiful historic commercial and mixed-use buildings from the early 1900s with aging infrastructure.
Common Issues: Flat roof leaks common in commercial buildings, parapet wall moisture intrusion, basement moisture in buildings near Metrolink, aging plumbing in walls.
What We Do: Commercial building moisture surveys, thermal imaging for hidden leaks, multi-floor testing for historic properties, parapet and roof edge moisture detection.
OLDER RESIDENTIAL FOUNDATION ISSUES
The Challenge: Clayton's established residential neighborhoods (Clayton Gardens, Moorlands) have homes from the 1920s-1950s with aging foundations.
Common Issues: Foundation settlement cracks, basement moisture infiltration, sump pump failures, clay soil drainage problems, downspout overflow issues.
What We Do: Basement moisture mapping, foundation crack moisture testing, crawl space humidity assessment, seasonal moisture pattern analysis.
LUXURY BATHROOM & SPA MOISTURE
The Challenge: Clayton's upscale homes often feature large master bathrooms, steam showers, and spa features that generate significant moisture.
Common Issues: Inadequate ventilation for shower size, steam shower mold behind tile, jetted tub plumbing mold, towel warmer condensation, marble grout mold.
What We Do: Luxury bathroom-specific moisture testing, behind-tile moisture detection without damage, steam room mold assessment, ventilation capacity testing.
URBAN LANDSCAPE DRAINAGE
The Challenge: Clayton's urban environment with limited yard space, close property lines, and mature landscaping can create drainage issues.
Common Issues: Water pooling against foundations, neighbor's drainage affecting your property, tree root damage to drainage systems, clogged municipal drainage.
What We Do: Exterior drainage assessment, foundation perimeter moisture testing, identification of exterior water entry points affecting interior mold.
MIXED-USE & LOFT LIVING CHALLENGES
The Challenge: Downtown Clayton has seen many conversions of older buildings into trendy lofts and mixed-use spaces with retail below residential.
Common Issues: Commercial kitchen exhaust affecting upper units, retail humidity migration, inadequate vapor barriers in conversions, exposed brick moisture absorption.
What We Do: Multi-level moisture testing, commercial-to-residential conversion assessment, vapor barrier effectiveness testing, exposed material moisture analysis.
