Crawl Space Microbial Growth Removal

Do You Suspect Mold in Your Crawl Space?

Do you suspect mold under your home? Does your home have a musty smell? These odors can be a sign of moisture problems underneath your house. Moisture problems can occur in any part of the house, but they are most common in the crawl space. Most people are unaware that 40-60% of the air that we breathe in our home comes from or passes through our crawl space. This is why maintaining a dry crawl space, free of microbial growth, is vitally important to a healthy home.

How Does Mold Affect People?

Mold can have a variety of negative health consequences on individuals depending on their sensitivity. Mold exposure can cause symptoms such as a stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes or skin in these persons. Some patients, such as those with mold allergies or asthma, may experience more severe reactions. In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people and trigger asthma symptoms in people with asthma.

Microbial Growth Remediation

Remove the musty smell and get your home healthy again. After a thorough evaluation, our technicians will get to work and remediate areas of microbial growth in your crawl space. But WAIT! Remediation without repairing the conditions that caused the microbial growth is pointless and a waste of money! Following remediation, moisture control is essential to prevent microbial growth from coming back. It’s critical to encapsulate the crawl space or basement to avoid further growth. Our professionals will build a continuous, sealed vapor barrier in the crawl area to prevent moist air from contacting the floor joists, ducts, and plumbing which encourage future microbial growth.
