Humid-climate home, dry inside: mold readiness + humidity baseline.

A Tampa family runs the AC constantly yet finds mildew on closet walls and window frames each summer. This packet is their claim of a home that stays dry inside: a room-by-room humidity baseline against the EPA <60% guidance, condensation and exhaust-termination sources mapped, visible growth measured and classed, and a plan that fixes ventilation and humidity control before cosmetic cleanup.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

moisture-source photo map + humidity/moisture readings + measured mold-extent inventory vs the EPA 10-sq-ft threshold + the moisture-first sequenced plan: Real, Proven, One-of-one

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

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. 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. 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. 3. Record indoor relative humidity by room (target <60%, ideally 30-50% per EPA) and note dehumidification or ventilation gaps.
4. 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. 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. 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).

What counts as done

• Household symptom/odor/leak history in their own words
• Photo map of every found moisture source with moisture-meter readings at suspect assemblies
• Room-by-room relative-humidity log vs the EPA <60% guidance
• Visible-mold inventory: location, material, measured extent, EPA-threshold class
• GPS / address confirm + the moisture-first sequenced plan (right trade named per source; household-safe vs professional steps separated)

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
