COMMON MOLD ISSUES IN O'FALLON HOMES
O'Fallon's status as one of Missouri's fastest-growing cities, with rapid residential development on clay soils, creates specific mold challenges we understand and address:
NEW CONSTRUCTION MOISTURE ISSUES
The Challenge: With 46% of O'Fallon homes built after 2000, many properties were constructed during rapid development periods when building schedules were tight and proper drying time may have been limited.
Common Issues: Drywall moisture from rushed construction, improperly cured concrete foundations, inadequate basement waterproofing in newer builds, construction debris affecting drainage, vapor barrier installation problems in crawl spaces.
What We Do: New construction moisture assessment, builder-grade waterproofing evaluation, HVAC system sizing and dehumidification capacity testing, warranty documentation support for recent builds, pre-purchase new home inspection.
CLAY SOIL FOUNDATION SETTLEMENT
The Challenge: O'Fallon sits on St. Charles County's expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, causing continuous foundation stress and cracking that allows moisture infiltration.
Common Issues: Foundation settlement cracks in homes of all ages, basement wall bowing from soil pressure, freeze-thaw cycle crack expansion, spring moisture from clay soil saturation, sump pump constant cycling, post-construction settling.
What We Do: Foundation crack moisture detection, clay soil seasonal impact assessment, basement wall moisture mapping, new construction settling moisture evaluation, pre-purchase foundation inspection for all home ages.
SUBDIVISION DRAINAGE PROBLEMS
The Challenge: Rapid development in O'Fallon has created drainage challenges in several neighborhoods, with documented flooding events affecting subdivisions like Copperfield and ongoing issues in areas like Sunset Acres.
Common Issues: Neighbor drainage affecting your property, stormwater system capacity problems during heavy rain, subdivision grading issues from fast development, yard flooding leading to foundation moisture, basement seepage during storm events.
What We Do: Post-flood mold risk assessment, subdivision drainage pattern evaluation, basement moisture testing after rain events, yard grading impact analysis, water intrusion source identification.
HVAC SIZING AND HUMIDITY CONTROL
The Challenge: Many O'Fallon homes feature builder-grade HVAC systems that may be oversized for efficient dehumidification or undersized for the home's actual load, creating humidity imbalances.
Common Issues: Oversized AC short-cycling without removing humidity, undersized systems running constantly, inadequate whole-house dehumidification, bathroom exhaust fan insufficiency, basement finishing without climate control consideration.
What We Do: HVAC moisture impact testing, humidity level measurement throughout home, dehumidification capacity evaluation, bathroom and kitchen ventilation assessment, finished basement climate control testing.
RAPID GROWTH CONSTRUCTION VARIATIONS
The Challenge: As O'Fallon tripled in population over 30 years, homes were built by numerous builders with varying quality standards, creating inconsistent moisture management across neighborhoods.
Common Issues: Builder-to-builder waterproofing quality differences, subdivision-to-subdivision drainage system variations, inconsistent vapor barrier installation, mixed quality in window and door flashing, lot-to-lot grading inconsistencies.
What We Do: Builder-specific construction quality assessment, neighborhood-specific moisture pattern identification, comparative testing for similar-age homes, pre-purchase evaluation of builder reputation and construction quality.
LANDSCAPING MATURATION ISSUES
The Challenge: As O'Fallon's newer subdivisions age, maturing landscaping and settling soil create evolving drainage patterns that weren't present when homes were new.
Common Issues: Tree root damage to drainage systems, mulch bed moisture against foundations, settling causing water flow toward house, gutter system inadequacy as trees grow, deck and patio grading changes over time.
What We Do: Landscaping moisture impact assessment, grading and slope evolution analysis, tree proximity foundation testing, deck and patio moisture intrusion evaluation, exterior drainage system effectiveness testing.
