- Window Installation/ReplacementWhat causes this mold? Primarily it is drainage issues that have not been addressed, with water infiltrating through and under old foundations and getting into the dirt areas, and occasionally into walls and floor structures. Less frequently there are leaks in walls around poorly sealed windows and doors, siding or stucco, roofs etc., but it is mostly the subterranean moisture that is the culprit. You may also see a white substance on your foundations known as efflorescence. This is caused by water migrating through the concrete and depositing salts on the surface. Efflorescence is harmless, but it does indicate there are water issues that can lead to mold.

- PorchesJim Gardner Construction specializes in residential structural repair work, including foundation repair and replacement, basement digouts, drainage systems (French drains and downspout and site drainage), replacing and repairing entry stairs and porches, earthquake / seismic retrofitting repairs and upgrades, and retaining walls.
