What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
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 Montgomery
The Montgomery area our local pros cover for mold removal takes in Brookview Manor, Young Forte Village, and Village West. The city sits at the northern edge of the Black Belt, where Selma chalk weathers into some of the most expansive clay soils in the Southeast.
Housing stock
The median home in Montgomery dates to 1978, and 69.1 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Brick and frame housing on slabs and crawlspaces predominates, with a median build year of 1978 and 69.1 percent of units built before 1990.
Climate and water risk
March is the wettest month here at 5.26 inches, part of an annual 54.57 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from MONTGOMERY 2.2 NE, 2.1 miles off. March leads at 5.26 inches of a 54.57 inch total. On Black Belt clay the seasonal swing between wet and dry matters more than any single storm, because the soil changes volume enough to move slabs and open gaps alongside foundations.
Common moisture and mold problems in Montgomery
- Black Belt chalk-derived clay swelling and shrinking enough to move slabs seasonally
- A void left under one corner of a slab when chalk-derived clay contracts unevenly
- Very low infiltration in heavy clay sending rainfall across the surface instead of into it
- Slab-on-grade construction spreading an under-floor leak laterally with no space beneath

Frequently asked questions
What is the Black Belt and why does it matter for a building?
It is a band of dark, chalk-derived soils running across central Alabama, and the clay it weathers into is strongly expansive. It matters because the ground itself changes volume with moisture, lifting and dropping foundations, and because it accepts water very slowly so most rainfall stays on the surface.
Cracks that open in summer and close in winter — foundation or drainage?
The two are the same problem here. Clay shrinking in a dry spell opens a gap alongside the foundation, and that gap is a direct path for the next heavy rain to reach the footing. The movement creates the entry point, so treating them separately usually addresses only half of it.
Does keeping the soil evenly moist actually help?
It is the standard approach on expansive clay, and evenness matters more than volume. The damage comes from differential movement — one part of the slab supported and another not — so the aim is to avoid one side drying out while another stays wet, rather than to keep everything saturated.
