336-373-1538Flooding and wind-driven rain leave moisture inside walls, floors and framing long after the cleanup is done. ESG provides independent post-storm moisture and mold testing across NC, VA and TN, so your repair decisions rest on data instead of guesswork.
ESG works with home and building owners to assess environmental risks in the wake of severe weather events, from a single wet room to a building that flooded. ESG's role is limited to moisture, mold, and indoor environmental conditions; we do not evaluate structural, electrical, or gas safety.
ESG's owner, Dan Whittaker, has spent more than 17 years documenting and researching severe weather and its impact on buildings: the 2011 Super Outbreak tornadoes, hurricane landfalls including Matthew, Florence and Ian, Hurricane Helene, and the catastrophic 2024 flooding in western North Carolina.
That fieldwork, collecting wind, pressure, humidity and particulate data during real events, shapes how ESG evaluates storm-damaged buildings: where water gets in, how materials respond to environmental stress, and what to verify before you rebuild.
Talk to ESG after a stormWhat to expect when you call ESG after a storm, flood or hurricane.
Once the property has been cleared as safe to enter (ESG does not assess structural, electrical, or gas safety), call 336-373-1538 or use the contact page. Describe what happened, what got wet, and what has already been done.
An ESG consultant inspects the affected areas and takes moisture readings in accessible walls, floors and framing to document where water traveled and where moisture remains in the areas inspected.
Where conditions warrant, we collect air and surface samples for accredited laboratory analysis to determine whether mold is present in the samples collected.
You receive a written report documenting the conditions evaluated, plus guidance on remediation standards. After repairs, independent post-remediation verification evaluates the work against applicable clearance criteria.
Storm water rarely stays where you can see it. Moisture left inside walls, subfloors and framing can support mold growth long after surfaces look dry. Independent testing documents where moisture remains and whether mold is present in the areas and samples evaluated, before repairs seal the problem in.
No. ESG tests and consults; we never perform remediation or repairs. That independence means our findings are not shaped by work we might win. If remediation is needed, we can point you to our Verified Remediator referral list. Contractor information is provided as a convenience. ESG does not guarantee, supervise, or accept responsibility for a contractor's pricing, schedule, workmanship, licensing status, or performance. The client selects and contracts with the contractor independently.
ESG's owner, Dan Whittaker, has spent more than 17 years documenting and researching severe weather, from the 2011 Super Outbreak tornadoes to multiple hurricane landfalls and the 2024 flooding in western North Carolina. That fieldwork informs how ESG evaluates storm-damaged buildings.
Yes. Post-remediation verification is independent clearance testing: ESG evaluates the designated remediation area against applicable visual, moisture, odor, particle, and laboratory clearance criteria at the time of inspection. See our post-remediation verification page for how it works.
Before you close up walls or sign a remediation contract, get independent data on the moisture conditions found and whether mold is present in the areas and samples evaluated.
