Crawlspaces are one of the most common—and overlooked—areas where mold growth occurs. Due to the stack effect, your home naturally draws air from the lowest point upward, meaning that air (and airborne mold spores) from the crawlspace eventually circulates into the main living areas. This makes crawlspace mold remediation critical for protecting both a homeowner’s indoor air quality and your home's structural integrity.

During the humid months from spring through fall, high humidity levels and excess moisture make your crawlspaces especially vulnerable to mold issues. If your HVAC system is located in the crawlspace, the risk of spreading contaminated air increases. Warning signs of crawlspace mold and moisture issues include musty odors, sagging insulation or falling insulation batts, warping or sagging floors caused by excess moisture in floor joists, and visible mold, wood rot, or standing water. As a trusted mold remediation company, our crawl space mold removal process is designed to get rid of mold that can cause health risks like respiratory issues as well as structural problems.

To prevent future crawlspace mold growth, we may recommend applying sealant or mold-resistant paint to floor joists and subflooring, installing a new, sealed vapor barrier to provide full ground coverage, and implementing an interior drainage system with a sump pump to manage groundwater. We often complete a full crawlspace encapsulation with a dehumidifier to control humidity levels year-round.
