A rail town with over a century of settled housing
Pooler's station was named in 1838 for railroad surveyor Captain Robert William Pooler, but the town didn't formally incorporate until October 25, 1907, starting with 337 residents. During the Civil War it was the last rail stop before Savannah — Union officers under Sherman met Savannah authorities nearby in December 1864 to negotiate the city's surrender — and postwar growth continued after Ben Rothwell began giving away building lots in 1883.
What that means for a mold assessment
Housing dating to Pooler's early-1900s incorporation and the Rothwell-era infill that followed predates modern vapor-barrier standards, so an assessment on the town's older stock should check crawl spaces and attics rather than trust a recently updated exterior. Humidity built up over more than a century of continuous small-town growth doesn't announce itself on the surface.

What to share for a Pooler inquiry
Share where the moisture problem is on the Pooler property, when it appeared, the home's age if known, prior remediation work, and access constraints. Confirm a provider's certifications directly, since availability varies.
Humidity load from over a century of growth
Pooler sits inland from the coast but still inside the same humid Georgia coastal-plain climate that has produced major regional storms, including Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Irma in 2017, both of which drove Savannah River water levels to record highs. Distance from open water reduces surge risk without removing the region's baseline humidity problem.
