24H Mold Inspection of Huntington Woods

At 24H Mold Inspection of Huntington Woods, we know no two buildings respond to moisture the same way.

Huntington Woods is one of Metro Detroit's most architecturally distinctive small communities, a dense enclave of Tudor revival, Colonial, and Craftsman homes built primarily in the 1920s through 1940s that is surrounded on multiple sides by the larger communities of Royal Oak, Berkley, and Oak Park. The city's century-old housing stock carries the accumulated moisture history of Michigan winters in its original plaster walls, stone and block foundations, and attic spaces that were designed for a different standard of insulation and ventilation than modern building codes require. The mature tree canopy that gives Huntington Woods much of its character also limits sun exposure and airflow that would otherwise help manage exterior moisture conditions around these aging properties.

Huntington Woods is composed almost entirely of historic single-family homes from the 1920s through 1940s — Tudor revivals, Colonials, and Craftsman-influenced designs — on tree-lined lots that are generous by inner-ring suburban standards but still close enough together to limit foundation drainage and airflow. These homes represent some of the oldest continuously occupied residential properties in Oakland County, and the moisture risk embedded in their original building systems is correspondingly deep.
