"I've never had a leak. How do I have mold?"
It's one of the most common calls we get, and the answer is almost always humidity. Charlotte's summers push moisture into crawl spaces, attics, and HVAC systems. When that warm, humid air hits a cooler surface, like floor joists, roof sheathing, or a sweating air handler, it condenses. That's all mold needs.
It often shows up as a musty smell in one room, allergy symptoms that ease when you leave the house, or dark staining in the attic that looks like dirt but isn't.
Wiping off what you see won't fix it. The moisture source has to be found and corrected, or it comes right back.
