Why mold is a concern in Columbia:

Columbia's planned communities — developed largely in the late 1960s through the 1980s — include a significant stock of townhomes, condominiums, and single-family homes that are now 40 to 50 years old. Aging plumbing, older HVAC systems, and below-grade living spaces like finished basements are among the most common sources of moisture intrusion and mold growth we encounter in Columbia properties.

Columbia's village system means many homes share walls, rooflines, and drainage infrastructure with neighboring units — which can make moisture problems more complex and wide-ranging than in standalone single-family homes. Condensation, poor ventilation, and slow leaks in shared spaces are particularly common causes of hidden mold growth in Columbia's townhome communities.
