“Mold: Water Intrusion Lawsuit"
A multi-year assessment was performed by TSI involving monitoring well emplacement, geophysical definition of limestone formations, soil assessment, and groundwater modeling was used to determine the cause of water infiltration into a residence resulting in significant mold damage. TSI’s team assessed natural water flow from seeps and a septic field/gray water reclamation system on an adjacent property to determine the transport mechanisms of the water that resulted in an accumulation near the side of a home. The study concluded the cause of the water was natural.
