Is your crawl space wet or moldy?  Mold can often grow in crawl spaces due to moisture from humidity, ground water, or plumbing leaks.   If you see moisture in your crawl space, call Pro Remediation Services for a detailed inspection.  

Crawl spaces of homes have particular problems with relative humidity, as they are surrounded on five surfaces by the ground. The contact with the ground keeps this area cool and moist. If crawl spaces are not properly conditioned and controlled, high relative humidity can affect your building components, such as joists and floor sheathing.

Mold growth within crawl spaces can also affect the air quality of rooms above, requiring careful consideration of occupant concerns, air flow, and treatment options to address the problem.

The process of mold removal in crawl spaces includes negative air machines, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and antimicrobial sealant. In addition, the source of moisture must be corrected to prevent recurrence of the mold growth. Often, a combination of a dehumidification system and a vapor barrier, along with maintenance, is sufficient to prevent additional mold growth.
