JBSA-area military housing has faced $45 million in mold lawsuits since 2019. Military families deserve zero-VOC, mold-proof homes. GaiaCrete® eliminates the mold crisis plaguing San Antonio military housing while providing healthier indoor air for families who've already sacrificed enough.
San Antonio's Edwards Aquifer creates elevated ground moisture that wicks up through foundations. Fiberglass absorbs this moisture from below — molding invisibly inside walls. GaiaCrete® manages aquifer-level moisture naturally, maintaining pH 12+ alkalinity that makes mold physically impossible.
San Antonio's King William, Monte Vista, and Alamo Heights historic districts contain irreplaceable architecture. GaiaCrete® can be spray-applied into existing wall cavities without demolishing original plaster — preserving historic character while upgrading to 21st-century insulation performance.
