Mold risk built into a marsh shrimping economy
Shrimping and oystering built McClellanville's economy after its 1926 incorporation, and that same marsh and tidal-creek economy along Jeremy Creek keeps humidity levels high across the town's older waterfront lots.
What that surge history means for older buildings
McClellanville's older waterfront cottages, some dating close to the town's 1850s founding, carry decades of marsh and flood exposure layered on top of each other; a mold assessment here needs to account for that history, not just current conditions.

What helps us scope it
Note the home's approximate age, its distance from Jeremy Creek, and any known history of flooding or storm damage.
Regional humidity context
Charleston-area humidity averages 72% annually, and a working waterfront town built directly on tidal creek frontage like McClellanville stays exposed to that moisture load year-round.
