Crawlspace Mold Removal

Got a crawl space with mold? Nothing to worry about! Let Our Pros handle it!

The small nature of crawl spaces and the difficulty of accessing them make it difficult to dry them after moisture intrusion of any kind. As mold can develop within 24 hours of a leak, crawl spaces are extremely susceptible to mold growth. When you never use your crawl space, why do you need to spend money on mold removal? Simple: mold emits allergens into the air. These allergens can be carried throughout your home via your HVAC system, resulting in respiratory difficulties, severe allergies, and other illnesses. The mold that grows in crawl spaces can also damage the structure of your home, causing dangerous and expensive repairs. It’s crucial to deal with mold problems as soon as possible once you discover them.

The most typical causes of mold in crawl spaces

Mold often develops in crawl spaces due to leaking pipes. Additionally, mold may develop as a result of insufficient or improper ventilation. It is even possible for mold growth to be worsened in crawl spaces in highly humid climates because vents let humid air into the crawl space. Mold in crawl spaces can also be caused by condensation, foundation cracks, and other types of moisture intrusion. To remediate mold, our technicians will fix the source of the moisture problem. By taking this extra step, we will prevent the same mold problem from recurring.

Crawlspace Mold Remediation

Mold growth is highly conducive to crawl spaces, which are susceptible to moisture intrusion, groundwater vapor emanation, elevated humidity, high dust levels, and inadequate heating and ventilation. A crawl space is an ideal breeding ground for mold due to its dark, cold, and moist environment.
Whether it’s in your crawl space or elsewhere, mold is a known allergen and can cause illness. A mold spore is a microscopic particle that can easily pass through the tiniest of pathways, including floorboards. Since everyone’s immune system behaves differently, some people may become ill while others seem to be completely unaffected. A professional mold inspector should be consulted to assess the crawl space and establish a proper plan of action, if necessary.
A mold remediation project’s cost depends on the extent of the problem and the approach needed to get rid of the growth. The size and accessibility of the area will also influence the overall cost. The removal of mold from a crawl space can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and confined. Depending on the severity of the contamination issue, crawl space mold removal projects can cost $1,500 to $15,000.

HOW CAN MOLD BE PREVENTED FROM RETURNING TO CRAWL SPACES?

Controlling moisture and humidity levels is one of the best defenses against crawl space mold. As a result:

 

  • Keep an eye out for leaks regularly.
  • Water should be directed away from your home through your gutters.
  • Check foundation walls for cracks.
  • Cover the crawl space floor and foundation walls with an effective moisture barrier, such as plastic sheeting.
  • Make sure you don’t have any missing parts if you have insulation.
  • Make sure there is enough ventilation.
  • Make sure dryer vents are vented outside and not into the crawl space.

The advantages of cleaning mold from your crawl space

As a result of removing mold from your crawl space, you will also be able to eliminate the following moisture problems in your home:

 

  • Pipe and duct condensation.
  • Structural deterioration.
  • Growth of mold on drywall.
  • Flooring that is cracked.
  • Hardwood floors, carpets, and walls that are stained by water.
