Mold removal and moisture checks across Summit County
In Summit County, the biggest mold risk is a house nobody is living in. Second homes, cabins and condos sit closed for weeks at a time, and a leak or a damp crawl space has all that time to grow.

Mold removal in Summit County usually involves a home that sat empty: a second home, a cabin or a condo where a leak, a frozen pipe or a damp crawl space went unnoticed for weeks. We find the moisture, remove what grew under containment, dry the framing and can set up scheduled checks so it does not happen again.
Summit County homes
A county of second homes
Summit County had 32,535 housing units in 2022, and 51.8 percent of them were vacant. That is not a sign of an empty county. In the 2010 Census, 83.1 percent of its vacant units were held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use: second homes, ski condos and cabins that fill up on weekends and holidays.
A house that sits closed between visits is the easiest place for mold to start. Heat is turned down, nobody runs the bath fans, and a slow leak can run from one visit to the next. A lot of second-home mold is found the same way: an owner walks in after a few weeks away and smells it.
