Fort Wayne mold remediation guidance
Find the moisture source, contain the work, and plan for safe drying.
Fort Wayne's housing stock spans roughly two centuries, from the canal-town core built up around the Wabash and Erie Canal in the 1830s and 40s to the Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Tudor Revival homes of the West Central and Forest Park Boulevard historic districts, and on to the postwar and modern construction that fills out the rest of the city. Humid summers, freeze-thaw winters that average roughly 30 inches of snow a year, and older neighborhoods on combined sewer systems that can back up during heavy rain all add up to steady moisture pressure on homes of every age, from a hundred-year-old crawl space to a newer finished basement.

Review local sources →Local housing context
“Fort Wayne sits at the confluence of the St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee Rivers, on ground that was once Kekionga, capital of the Miami people. General Anthony Wayne built the fort that gave the city its name in 1794, on roughly the site of an earlier French post, Fort Miami, built in 1722. The Wabash and Erie Canal reached Fort Wayne in the early 1830s and opened through the city in 1843; because the city sat at the canal's highest elevation point, Fort Wayne became known as the 'Summit City.'”
