Our History

GLS Engineering & Testing was founded in 2003 by Louis Schweers. Around this time, he began to understand the substantial negative impact that deficient building performance, poor indoor air quality, excessive interior and substructure moisture, and HVAC system inadequacies can have on home and business owners. He also realized that there was a lack of engineering professionals who were concentrating on this specialized area, which led him to start this company in Charleston.

Louis Schweers is a licensed professional engineer with more than 25 years of both residential and commercial experience. He has concentrated almost exclusively on HVAC services and moisture & indoor air quality issues. His unique combination of education and hands-on, real-world experience qualifies him as one of the foremost forensic engineers in Charleston and throughout South Carolina.

Recognized as a leading authority in the field, Louis is often asked to provide expert testimony in legal cases involving mold, moisture, building performance, and indoor air quality issues.
