Set up airflow to dry out a Planada home's affected room

With the moisture spot already documented, this visit improves airflow in the dry, unaffected part of the room to help it dry out and stop the moisture from spreading — no contact with the affected surface itself. Standard: CDC mold-prevention ventilation guidance for flood-affected homes + SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being Proof: Dated photo of the ventilation setup with the household confirmed on how to run it Method (CDC mold-prevention ventilation guidance for flood-affected homes + SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being): 1. Confirm the household invited this visit and review the documented moisture note. 2. Open windows and doors in the room, if safe to do so, to increase airflow. 3. Set up a fan to circulate air away from the affected surface, not directly onto it. 4. Do not touch, disturb, or enter within arm's reach of any visibly affected surface. 5. Photograph the equipment placement with date, and confirm the household knows to keep it running. Done when: Dated photo of the ventilation setup with the household confirmed on how to run it

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Mold remediation readiness + dry-home baseline survey (EPA 402-K-01-001 remediation guidance + EPA 402-K-02-003 homeowner guidance; moisture-source-first; observation only)

Bring

camera
pin/pinless moisture meter
hygrometer (indoor relative humidity by room)
flashlight (attic/crawl/basement/under-sink)
tape measure (visible-mold extent vs the EPA 10-sq-ft threshold)
N95 respirator + nitrile gloves (surveyor protection — no disturbance)

Steps

1. Start with the household's experience: where it smells musty, who has symptoms, when it started, what flooding/leak history the home has. Their answers target the survey — this is their claim of a dry, breathable home.
2. Hunt moisture sources room by room and in attic/crawl/basement: active leaks (roof, plumbing, windows), condensation surfaces, grade/drainage problems at the foundation, bath/kitchen/dryer exhaust termination, and HVAC condensate; photograph each and take moisture-meter readings at suspect assemblies.
3. Record indoor relative humidity by room (target <60%, ideally 30-50% per EPA) and note dehumidification or ventilation gaps.
4. Document visible mold WITHOUT disturbing it: location, surface/material, and measured extent per patch, classed against the EPA threshold (under ~10 sq ft = careful DIY-cleanable per EPA guidance; over = professional remediation).
5. Build the moisture-first sequence: fix the water FIRST (each source mapped to the right trade — roofer, plumber, drainage), then dry, then remediate, then rebuild; mark what the household can safely do (small-area cleanup per EPA steps, humidity control) vs what routes to pros.
6. Enter photos, GPS/address, the moisture-source map, humidity/moisture readings, the mold extent inventory, and the sequenced plan; sign. Real (found and measured), Proven (photo+GPS+signature), One-of-one (this home's water, this family's air).

If it does not match the plan

Any visible mold patch over ~10 sq ft, mold in HVAC ducts, or mold from sewage/contaminated water -> professional remediation only; do not scope household cleanup; route to a qualified remediation contractor per EPA guidance.
Occupant with asthma, immune compromise, or persistent symptoms attributed to the home -> advise routing the health question to their clinician; the survey documents the home, it never assesses health.
Active leak or structural water damage (sagging ceiling, spongy floor) -> the sequenced plan's first item is that repair by the right licensed trade; remediation before the water is fixed is wasted money — say so in the plan.
Suspected asbestos or pre-1978 deteriorated paint on a surface slated for remediation demo -> do not disturb; mark abatement/RRP-gated and route to licensed pros.

What counts as done

Household symptom/odor/leak history recorded and used to target the survey
Moisture-source map complete: every found source photographed with moisture-meter readings at suspect assemblies
Indoor relative humidity recorded by room against the EPA <60% guidance
Visible mold inventoried by location + measured extent, classed against the EPA ~10-sq-ft professional threshold
Moisture-first sequenced plan delivered: water fixed first (right trade named per source), household-safe steps separated from professional remediation

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
