Charlotte sits in North Carolina's Piedmont region with a humid subtropical climate — hot, muggy summers and heavy seasonal rain. That combination keeps crawl spaces, attics, and HVAC systems damp for much of the year, which is exactly the moisture mold needs to take hold. Local clay soils also drain slowly, so crawl spaces are especially prone to trapped humidity.

The time varies based on size and scope. Most homes are done in about 5 to 7 hours — everyone leaves the home during treatment and can come back in as soon as we're finished.

Costs vary with the unique circumstances that caused mold growth in your home. We tailor treatment to ensure the best results. Because our dry-fog process is non-invasive, it's often less expensive than traditional tear-out mold remediation.

Yes. The treatment is safe for your belongings, including clothing and electronics. You should not see any visible residue by the time treatment is complete.

It's correct that traditional wet fogging doesn't work well against mold. Our process is different: the particles are dramatically smaller — half the size of a mold spore and at least one-tenth the size of a conventional fogging droplet. That lets the fog stay airborne longer and treat micro-cracks and porous surfaces without wetting them.

Yes. In addition to a third-party lab verifying test results, the process has been studied by the Army Corps of Engineers and by Element Labs to verify its effectiveness.

Leave as many personal belongings in the building as possible. Let your technician know about any brass materials in the home so they can apply the treatment accordingly.

No — pets and people need to be out of the building during treatment. Most homes are ready for everyone to return the same day, once the process is complete.

Yes. We always perform before-and-after testing so you and we can both be confident the treatment worked as expected and your home is back to a healthy place.

Yes. Mold tests are available; results typically take 3–5 business days, and rush requests can be arranged.

As long as there aren't new moisture or water intrusion issues, your home should stay mold-free for a long time. Our warranty covers re-treatment if mold returns under qualifying conditions.

For the most part, nothing. There will likely be a lingering "vinegarish" smell for a little while, so you may want to open windows and circulate the air.
