Look under the house, not just at the mold
A patch of discoloration on a floor joist rarely tells the whole story in an older Rock Hill crawlspace sitting on Piedmont clay. A plan that holds up addresses where groundwater or humidity is getting in, how damp the space runs across a hot Carolina summer, the condition of the framing, proper containment, and a check once the work's finished.

Rock Hill context
Rock Hill pairs textile-era streets and modest cottages with postwar brick ranches and rapid Charlotte-region growth. Rolling Piedmont terrain, clay soils, mature hardwoods, and intense summer rain make foundation movement, roof runoff, and site drainage practical inputs.
