Our closest town — tidal river, high water tables, academy turnover
Mold, Water Damage & Painting in Exeter, NH
Exeter is the closest town to our shop, and it is where we see the clearest example of groundwater driving indoor air problems. The tidal Squamscott River keeps water tables high across a good portion of town, and the downtown housing stock is dense with 18th and 19th century homes.
What we see in Exeter buildings
Homes near the river run sump pumps hard through the spring, and crawlspaces in that part of town stay humid well into July. That is a recipe for mold in exactly the places nobody looks — under bathrooms, behind knee walls, beneath additions built over dirt. The rental market around Phillips Exeter Academy adds a scheduling wrinkle: units turn over on an academic calendar, which means painting, cleaning, and air treatment all have to land inside a narrow summer window.
What we do in Exeter
Mold Remediation
High water tables near the Squamscott mean recurring moisture. We find where water is actually entering before we remediate, so the problem does not come back next spring.

Academic-calendar turnovers leave a tight summer window. Prep, paint, and cleanup scheduled so units are ready before tenants arrive.

My Exeter crawlspace is damp every spring. Is that mold?
Damp alone is not mold, but sustained humidity above roughly 60 percent will support growth on wood and organic debris. Near the Squamscott the usual driver is groundwater rather than a plumbing leak, which means the durable fix is drainage and humidity control — not just cleaning the surface.
Can you handle a rental turnover on a tight deadline?
That is most of what we do in Exeter over the summer. Tell us the move-out and move-in dates and we will schedule prep, paint, and cleanup to land inside the window.
