Stop mold before it starts. TruRenu applies Structure Guard — a non-toxic, biodegradable mold prevention sealant backed by a 25-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty. Available for new construction and existing homes throughout the Atlanta metro area.
Georgia’s humid subtropical climate makes mold prevention one of the most valuable investments a homeowner or builder can make. The Atlanta metro area experiences high ambient humidity from late spring through early fall — conditions where untreated wood framing, attic sheathing, and crawl space lumber become colonized by mold within weeks of exposure to moisture.
The cost of proactive mold prevention treatment is a fraction of the cost of mold remediation and the associated drywall replacement, insulation removal, and structural repairs. TruRenu’s Structure Guard application creates a durable polymeric barrier on wood and structural materials that prevents mold from gaining a foothold — and the 25-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty means that protection follows the home, not just the owner. We offer treatment for new construction at the ideal dried-in stage, and for existing homes during renovation or post-remediation treatment.
The best time to apply Structure Guard is during new construction, after the frame is dried in and before mechanicals, insulation, doors, and windows are installed. Full coverage of all exposed framing members at this stage provides comprehensive protection for the lifetime of the home.
Crawl spaces are the highest-risk area for mold in Georgia homes. Inadequate vapor barriers, poor ventilation, and soil moisture create persistent humidity that attacks floor joists, beams, and subfloor sheathing. TruRenu treats crawl space framing and recommends vapor barrier upgrades as part of a comprehensive crawl space strategy.
Attic sheathing and framing exposed to inadequate ventilation, roof leaks, or bathroom exhaust fans vented into the attic space are prime mold environments. Georgia’s summer heat drives moisture from living spaces upward into attics, where it condenses on cooler sheathing surfaces. Structure Guard treatment is highly effective on attic framing.
After mold remediation, the moisture source that enabled the original growth must be corrected and the cleaned surfaces protected against re-colonization. Applying Structure Guard after remediation is the most effective way to prevent recurrence on treated surfaces — particularly in crawl spaces and attics where the moisture environment is difficult to eliminate entirely.
We work with homeowners and builders to identify high-risk spaces — kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, crawl spaces, and attics. For new construction, we coordinate with the builder to time the application at the optimal dried-in stage. For existing homes, we assess current moisture conditions and identify any active issues that must be corrected before treatment.
For existing homes, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of existing mold before Structure Guard is applied. Any active mold is addressed through our mold remediation process first. For new construction, the treatment is applied directly to fresh framing before any other materials are installed.
Structure Guard polymeric wood paint and sealer is applied by our trained technicians to all targeted surfaces. The product penetrates and bonds to wood fibers, creating a durable barrier that prevents moisture absorption and eliminates the substrate that mold requires to colonize. Application is documented for warranty purposes.
Structure Guard treatment is most effective as part of a comprehensive moisture management plan. We recommend and install supporting measures where appropriate — commercial sump pumps, dehumidifiers, exhaust ventilators, and vapor barrier upgrades — to address the environmental conditions that promote mold growth.
Structure Guard applications are backed by a 25-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty. We provide complete warranty documentation that transfers to subsequent owners when the home is sold, adding real value to your property.
Georgia’s climate demands it — the Atlanta metro area’s hot, humid summers create ideal mold conditions that other regions don’t face. Prevention is not optional here; it’s essential.
Prevention costs far less than remediation — mold remediation plus drywall replacement and insulation removal typically costs thousands of dollars. Structure Guard treatment is a fraction of that cost.
25-year transferable warranty — the warranty transfers to the next owner when you sell, making it a documented home improvement that can command a premium at resale.
Non-toxic — safe for your family — Structure Guard is biodegradable and environmentally safe. No hazardous off-gassing, no bleach, no acid. Safe for homes with children and pets.
Builder program available — TruRenu works with builders throughout Gwinnett, Forsyth, Hall, and surrounding counties to incorporate Structure Guard into new construction projects at the optimal dried-in phase.
Structure Guard penetrates wood fibers to create a durable, long-lasting barrier against moisture and mold colonization. Backed by a 25-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty. Non-toxic and biodegradable.
Commercial-grade dehumidifiers address the ambient moisture that enables mold growth in crawl spaces, basements, and enclosed spaces — a critical complement to any surface treatment program.
Proper sump pump systems eliminate standing water from below-grade areas and crawl spaces that would otherwise create persistent mold-favorable moisture conditions regardless of surface treatments.
Properly installed exhaust ventilation in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and crawl spaces removes moisture-laden air before it can condense on structural surfaces and promote mold growth.

What To Do Now →Structure Guard is a polymeric wood paint and sealer that penetrates and bonds to wood framing and structural materials to create a long-lasting barrier against moisture absorption and mold growth. Unlike bleach-based treatments that degrade over time, Structure Guard is backed by a 25-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty and is non-toxic and environmentally safe.
The ideal time for Structure Guard application is during new construction, after the frame is dried in but before mechanicals, insulation, doors, and windows are installed. However, it can also be applied in existing homes during renovation or after remediation to prevent regrowth. For crawl spaces, it can be applied at any time.
Structure Guard and similar treatments eliminate mold’s ability to colonize treated wood and structural materials — they are highly effective at preventing the most common types of structural mold. However, no treatment eliminates all mold risk. Persistent moisture sources like plumbing leaks, inadequate ventilation, or flooding must still be addressed. The treatment works best as part of a comprehensive moisture management strategy.
Absolutely — Georgia’s hot, humid summers create some of the highest mold risk conditions in the country. Crawl spaces, attics, and enclosed wall cavities in existing homes are prime environments for mold colonization. Proactive treatment is significantly less expensive than full mold remediation and the associated drywall and insulation replacement. The 25-year warranty on Structure Guard makes it a sound long-term investment for any Georgia homeowner.
Call TruRenu to schedule a mold prevention assessment. We’ll evaluate your home’s risk areas and recommend the right combination of Structure Guard treatment and moisture management to keep your home mold-free for decades.
