From “Hotlanta” Humidity to a Lush Tree Canopy: Mold Inspection Sciences Expands in Georgia to Safeguard Homes Old and New
With a no-conflict-of-interest approach and science-based mold testing, Mold Inspection Sciences (MIS) tackles the hidden moisture challenges in one of America’s greenest metro areas
Atlanta, Georgia, March 11, 2025 — Renowned for its humid summers, frequent thunderstorms, and one of the highest urban tree canopies in the nation—covering nearly 48% of the city—Atlanta presents a unique environment for hidden mold growth. To address these challenges, MIS, a national leader in unbiased, science-based mold inspection and testing, announced its expansion into Greater Atlanta. Backed by more than 20 years of experience in 12 states and 20 markets, MIS delivers a no-conflict-of-interest model that provides inspections and testing.
Nicknamed “Hotlanta” for its sweltering summer temperatures, Atlanta’s steamy climate often leads to moisture build-up in older homes with aging infrastructure and new, energy-efficient buildings without proper ventilation. Frequent storms can also leave behind damp conditions, especially where leaf litter and shade from the city’s extensive canopy trap moisture around a home’s exterior.
We’ve noticed a growing need in Metro Atlanta, where both 100-year-old bungalows and brand-new condos can harbor moisture issues,. Excess humidity, unexpected leaks, and even overworked HVAC systems can all encourage mold growth. By focusing solely on inspection and testing, we offer property owners clear lab-based results, helping them determine the right next steps for each property’s unique needs.
