Mold Prevention

If you didn’t know already, the middle Tennessee climate is conducive to mold growth resulting from higher temps and humidity. This can impact older homes over time and, unfortunately, new construction too. Lack of building codes enforcement and loose practices, with newer construction materials, can be disastrous. And if you aren’t actively doing anything to prevent mold, you’re highly likely to have it.

Luckily, there are resources available so you can ensure you take all necessary precautions in your existing home or new build.

E3 Innovate works with homeowners on “whole home” solutions. They can work alongside you and your builder, help with upgrades to an existing home, or aid in renovating a historic house. They have a team of building science and home performance experts along with special diagnostics to make your home comfortable, healthy, and energy efficient. 

Home Energy Professionals is available for whole home audits during or after construction and for existing homes. Josh’s team installed our ERV (Energy Recovery System) because our home didn’t have enough air exchanges as diagnosed during a blower door test. HEP is knowledgeable and employs various diagnostics tools which can help with energy and humidity regulation.
