It's time to take a look at your crawl space
An unhealthy crawl space is a perfect environment for mold to enter your home or business.
If you have a crawl space, it is important to keep it healthy and free of mold. Mold can cause health problems, property damage, and poor indoor air quality.
Here are some tips for keeping your crawl space healthy:
- Keep the crawl space dry. This is the most important thing you can do to prevent mold growth. Moisture is the main cause of mold growth. You can keep the crawl space dry by installing a sump pump and drainage system, sealing any cracks or gaps in the foundation, and ventilating the crawl space.
- Remove any mold or debris that you see. If you see any mold or debris in the crawl space, remove it immediately. Mold can spread quickly, so it is important to act fast. You can remove mold and debris with a vacuum cleaner, a brush, and a disinfectant.
- Sanitize the crawl space. After you have removed any mold or debris, sanitize the crawl space with a disinfectant. This will help to kill any mold spores that may be present. You can use a commercial disinfectant or a mixture of bleach and water.
- Treat the crawl space. If you have a serious mold problem, you may need to treat the crawl space with a mold inhibitor. A mold inhibitor will help to prevent mold from growing in the future.

Mold in the crawl space is a serious problem that can cause property damage, poor indoor air quality, and health problems. Mold can grow in damp and humid environments, such as crawl spaces. Once mold grows, it can spread quickly and cause extensive damage.
Mold can damage your home’s floor joists, foundation walls, and other internal structures. It can also cause respiratory problems, such as asthma, allergies, and other health issues. If mold is allowed to spread, it can cause structural damage to your home that will be expensive to repair.
If you have a damp crawl space, you should have it encapsulated. Encapsulation is a process of sealing the crawl space to prevent moisture and mold growth. This can help to protect your home from mold damage and improve the indoor air quality.
There are several benefits to crawl space encapsulation, including:
- Protection from mold: Encapsulation prevents moisture from entering the crawl space, which helps to prevent mold growth.
- Improved air quality: A dry and sealed crawl space will help to improve the air quality in your home. This is because mold and mildew cannot grow in a dry environment.
- Reduced energy bills: A crawl space that is cool and dry will require less energy to heat and cool your home. This can lead to significant savings on your energy bills.
- Protection from damage: A sealed crawl space is protected from moisture damage. This can help to extend the life of your home’s foundation and other structural components.
If you have a damp crawl space, you should have it encapsulated as soon as possible. Encapsulation is a cost-effective way to protect your home from mold damage, improve the indoor air quality, and save money on your energy bills.

The Mold remediation Process
The Mold Team follows a proven Mold Remediation procedure. Our first step is to establish containment and ventilation to prevent the spread of mold spores. We then thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected area using protective gear. Infected materials are removed and disposed of, while an EPA-approved biocide/fungicide is applied and left overnight. The floor is cleaned using a HEPA vacuum. Identifying and addressing the root cause of the mold issue is our next objective, ensuring the space is sealed to prevent further spread. Lastly, an encapsulant is sprayed in the area.
