Vented Crawlspace with Heavy Mold in Summit, Mississippi

Hearing about our company on the radio, this Summit Mississippi homeowner gave us a call about his crawlspace. He had vent fans in his crawlspace and was having severe mold and moisture issues; so much so that his sub floor was rotting out below him. Melissa Johnson performed the initial inspection and gave him a free quote on what our solution would be. In the many years we've been fixing crawlspaces, we've found that ventilation is root cause for moisture. Allowing outside air to penetrate under the house causes it to get trapped and build up. This moisture will latch on to anything that will hold it, especially wood. Unfortunately this means the joists and subfloor. Once it has enough moisture buildup, mold will start to grow. If not treated immediately and properly, mold will rapidly take over and create musty smells in your home and concurrently rot out any wood in the crawlspace. 

Before we began work, we treated the mold with our powerful Mold-X2 spray. This rids the wood of mold in seconds. Not only will it benefit your crawlspace, but it allows our crew to work in a safer environment. Our solution is to treat your crawlspace like you would the inside of your home. We seal up all the vents and wrap the crawlspace in our 20 mil CleanSpace liner to create a moisture barrier from the outside air. We also add a sump pump in the ground to collect ground water moisture that moves under the liner. This will automatically pump it out and away from the crawlspace. Finishing the system, we install a dehumidifier to regulate the humidity under the house.
