Why Sick Building Group
The Forensic Approach Others Don't Take
Anthony Denatala has been inside thousands of crawlspaces, attics, and wall cavities across the Greater Atlanta area since 2005. His forensic, "house-as-a-system" approach means every inspection traces moisture and microbial issues back to their structural root cause — not just what's visible on the surface.
Using particulate counters, UV-induced fluorescence, and advanced moisture diagnostics, Sick Building Group finds what others miss. Remediation protocols follow IICRC standards and are tailored to each property — no cookie-cutter solutions.

What We Do
Environmental Services
Full-spectrum mold and moisture services — from initial forensic inspection through full structural remediation and moisture control system installation.
Mold Remediation
Oxidative structural remediation using specialized hydrogen peroxide-based protocols. Chemical-level neutralization prioritized over aggressive physical abrasion — protecting structural integrity while eliminating microbial contamination.
Learn more →Crawlspace Moisture Control
Complete crawlspace encapsulation, commercial-grade dehumidification, and high-standard vapor barrier installation designed to stabilize the indoor environment and eliminate the moisture conditions mold requires.
Learn more →Attic Mold Remediation
Attic mold is commonly driven by improper ventilation and the stack effect. We diagnose ventilation failures, perform structural remediation of sheathing and rafters, and correct the airflow dynamics driving the problem.
Learn more →Indoor Air Quality Testing
Air sampling, spore trap analysis, and particulate air monitoring to quantify contamination levels pre- and post-remediation. Written reports suitable for real estate transactions and insurance claims.
Learn more →Protocol Development
Site-specific remediation protocols and written SOPs based on IICRC standards. Essential for property managers, contractors, real estate transactions, and insurance-backed remediation projects requiring documented scope of work.
Learn more →How We Work
The SBG Inspection Process
Every engagement follows a structured forensic methodology — no guessing, no treating symptoms, no unnecessary work.
Forensic Inspection
Full property assessment using advanced moisture meters, particulate counters, UV fluorescence, and thermal imaging to map all moisture intrusion points and active microbial growth.
Root Cause Analysis
Building-science evaluation of the stack effect, HVAC interactions, ventilation failures, and structural moisture pathways — identifying what's driving the problem, not just where it shows up.
Written Protocol
Site-specific remediation scope of work following IICRC standards. Documented, transparent, and shareable with insurance adjusters, contractors, and property managers.
Remediation & Clearance
Execution of the remediation protocol using oxidative hydrogen peroxide chemistry, structural drying, and moisture control system installation. Post-remediation air testing confirms clearance.
Crawlspace Services
Crawlspace Moisture & Mold Control
The crawlspace is the foundation of your home's indoor air quality. In Georgia's humid climate, an unmanaged crawlspace becomes the primary driver of whole-house mold problems through the stack effect — drawing damp, contaminated air upward through every level of the structure.
- Full crawlspace forensic inspection with moisture mapping
- Mold and microbial growth identification on floor joists and subfloor
- Oxidative remediation of structural wood surfaces
- Commercial-grade encapsulation with high-mil vapor barrier
- Santa Fe or equivalent commercial dehumidifier installation
- Ventilation assessment and crawlspace sealing
- Post-remediation air sampling and clearance testing
Attic Services
Attic Mold — The Hidden Problem
Attic mold in Georgia is almost always a ventilation failure problem. When warm, humid air from living spaces rises and gets trapped in an under-ventilated attic, it condenses on cool roof sheathing and rafters — creating ideal conditions for black mold colonies. Most inspectors treat the symptom. We fix the system.
- UV fluorescence and visual inspection of all roof sheathing and rafters
- Stack effect and ventilation analysis (soffit, ridge, gable)
- HVAC duct leakage assessment in the attic space
- Oxidative remediation of sheathing, rafters, and OSB
- Ventilation correction and airflow balancing recommendations
- Air barrier improvements to prevent recurrence
- Written clearance documentation

"I interviewed five companies for the crawlspace work and picked Anthony even though his quote was higher. He is extremely thorough, the quality of his work is amazing, and he was willing to work within my budget. After he completed the work, it rained every day for a month and there was not a drop of water in the crawlspace. You cannot go wrong with hiring this company!"

"Anthony was great. Came out to the house and gave us a free quote. Even explained to us what was going on and checked our HVAC systems. Turns out I didn't need mold remediation — just new air filters. Trustworthiness goes a long way. Thanks."
Mold Inspection — via Thumbtack
"I really appreciated Anthony's consultation and hard work that he and his team provided to control our mold issue. We had extensive mold damage in the crawlspace for many years. He and his team rapidly worked through the issue and provided a solution to keep the mold under control or eradicated where needed. Anthony, thank you for the great service!"
Crawlspace Mold Remediation — via Thumbtack
"Anthony and his crew were fantastic! He took the time to do an evaluation in person and explain what needed to be accomplished, even if I didn't select him. His crew was on time, completed the job in the required timeframe, and now my crawlspace is mold free and looks brand new. Even my real estate agent was so impressed he plans to use Sick Building Group for future needs."
Mold Inspection & Removal — via Thumbtack
"After interviewing 10 different companies, Sick Building Group has gone above and beyond to prove themselves as THE BEST CHOICE. My house had some difficult mold problems and they were extremely efficient and professional in taking care of the problem. I manage real estate for a living and I do not see contractors like this on a regular basis."
Home Waterproofing & Mold — via Thumbtack
"Very professional and always responded to my messages. I asked Anthony to do a warranty check early just to make sure everything was working. Our crawl space is dry, clean, and low humidity (45%) on a high humidity day. Our wood is clean and mold free. I have recommended this company to others."

Common Questions
What Homeowners Ask
How much does a mold inspection cost?
Pricing depends on property size and scope. A forensic inspection includes instrumentation, air sampling, and a written report — call (404) 268-0979 for a same-day quote. We don't charge to answer questions.
How long does an inspection take?
Most residential inspections take 2–4 hours depending on square footage and complexity. Crawlspace and attic access adds time. We never rush — thoroughness is the whole point.
Do I need to leave during the inspection?
No. You're welcome to stay and follow along — Anthony walks you through every finding in real time so you understand exactly what's being discovered and why it matters.
What if mold is found — what happens next?
You receive a written protocol report detailing exactly what was found, where, the severity, and a recommended remediation plan. We can also perform the remediation, or you can use the report to get bids from other contractors.
Can mold make my family sick?
Yes. Certain mold species produce mycotoxins that trigger respiratory issues, chronic fatigue, sinus problems, and immune responses — especially in children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Don't wait to investigate a musty smell.
