Fast, professional mold removal

What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.

  1. Step 1: Assessment

    A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.

  2. Step 2: Containment

    Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.

  3. Step 3: Removal

    Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.

  4. Step 4: Drying

    Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.

What drives moisture problems in Franklin

Mold removal in Franklin reaches out through Yorktown, Sturbridge Pointe, and Bluegrass, and our local pros handle all of it. A median build year of 2002 and just 23.4 percent of units predating 1990, on Inner Basin limestone where the Harpeth sinks and reappears through karst.

Housing stock

Only 76.6 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 2002. Large frame houses on slabs and basements, median 2002, on limestone and residual clay along the Harpeth and its sinking creeks.

Climate and water risk

Franklin averages 53.79 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at FRANKLIN SEWAGE PLT 2.1 miles away, with May the wettest month at 5.39 inches. May's 5.39 inches falls on karst. Rain that disappears into a swallow hole can reappear in a basement a street away, and a new slab on residual clay still takes the swell. The housing is new; the hydrology is Mississippian.

Common moisture and mold problems in Franklin

  • Karst swallow holes capturing May rain and discharging it into downhill basements
  • Residual clay over limestone swelling against even a 2000s basement wall
  • The Harpeth leaving its banks onto low lots that were pasture when the maps were drawn
  • New slabs on cut-and-fill lots where the fill side perches water the cut side never sees

Frequently asked questions

The creek disappeared into the ground. Is that good or bad for the house?

It is how karst works, and it is bad if your basement is on the other end. Water that sinks in a yard or a ditch is not gone; it is in the rock, and it comes out at the next opening. A dry swale upstream and a wet wall downhill are often the same flow.

The house is from 2002. Why would clay still crack the wall?

Residual clay on this limestone still shrinks and swells. A new wall is still a wall in moving soil. Drains help the water; they do not stop the clay from pushing. Lots cut in the boom years often left that clay against the buried face with no room to move.

Cut-and-fill on a sloping lot. Which side wets?

Usually the fill side. Fill perches rain at the contact with undisturbed ground, often at slab height. The cut side is in rock or stiff clay and can look dry while the fill side seeps. The house is one building on two hydrologies.
