Recurring musty smells and tenant complaints traced back to condensation in the HVAC closet. Our assessment pinpointed the source and wrote the protocol that fixed it for good.
A fourth-floor condo had been cleaned twice by a general contractor, but the musty smell kept returning. The HOA needed a licensed assessment with a defensible protocol before approving any work.
We ran air and surface samples, inspected the HVAC closet, and identified condensation dripping from the evaporator coil into unsealed drywall — a continuous moisture source. The protocol specified sealing the closet, replacing the affected drywall, and adding a condensate pan switch.
The HOA approved the protocol, the work was completed by a licensed contractor per our spec, and a follow-up assessment three months later showed normal spore levels and no recurrence.
