Problems Mold Can Cause in a Crawl Space

Mold growth is often a sign that excess moisture or humidity is present beneath the home. If those conditions continue, homeowners may experience:

Wood and Structural Damage: Persistent moisture can contribute to wood deterioration in joists, beams and subflooring. Over time, damaged framing can weaken the structure of your home and contribute to problems such as uneven or sagging floors.
Indoor Air Quality Concerns: Air from the crawl space can move into the living areas above. Mold and damp conditions may contribute to musty odors and can be a concern for people who are sensitive to mold.
Pest-Friendly Conditions: Damp crawl spaces can also attract termites, rodents and other pests. Correcting excess moisture helps make the crawl space less hospitable to both mold and moisture-loving pests.
More Extensive Repairs: Mold problems that are ignored can worsen as moisture continues affecting wood and other materials. Addressing the source of the moisture early can help reduce the chance of more extensive repairs later.

How to Get Rid of Mold in a Crawl Space

Step 1: Comprehensive Crawl Space Inspection

Our mold removal process begins with an inspection of the crawl space to determine where mold or microbial growth is present and, just as importantly, what moisture conditions are allowing it to grow. We evaluate visible growth, humidity, water intrusion and affected materials before recommending a remediation plan.

Step 2: Mold Removal Through Soda Blasting

Soda blasting may be used to physically remove mold from suitable wood surfaces in the crawl space. The process uses sodium bicarbonate as an abrasive media to clean affected joists, beams and subflooring while helping preserve the underlying material.

Depending on the conditions found during the inspection, additional cleaning or remediation methods may also be recommended.

Step 3: Moisture Regulation and Prevention

Removing visible mold is only part of the solution. Mold can return when excess moisture remains, so long-term prevention should also address the conditions that allowed growth in the first place.

Our moisture-control recommendations may include:

Crawl Space Humidity Control: Controlling excess humidity helps create conditions that are less favorable for recurring mold growth.
High-Capacity Dehumidifiers: A properly sized crawl space dehumidifier can help maintain more consistent humidity after other moisture problems have been addressed.
Vapor Barrier Installation: A crawl space vapor barrier helps reduce ground moisture entering the space and can be an important part of an overall moisture-control or encapsulation system.
