When it comes to your average homeowner, there are few things that are more feared than the word “mold”! No one wants to hear that they have mold in their home, and for good reason. Mold can be the cause of symptoms that resemble asthma including shortness of breath, wheezing, itchy eyes and even headaches. When you have mold in your home, you might want to get rid of it as quickly as possible. Having mold in your crawlspace, however, is just as damaging and should be removed just as quickly.
Crawlspace mold removal is an important service that you need for when there is mold in your crawlspace. Unfortunately, many crawlspaces also happen to be the ideal settings for mold growth. Not only are they dark and undisturbed, but they are also often warm and damp. This means that mold growth can flourish within a crawlspace for quite some time before being detected, whether by visual inspections or because people in the property start to experience physical symptoms. Because mold in the crawlspace can easily make it from the crawlspace into the living spaces via ducts or just rising through the flooring, crawl space mold removal is an important service.
Crawl space mold removal is often similar in procedures to other mold removal services, with the addition of a preventative step. Because mold in crawl spaces will just grow back if conditions remain the same, often sheeting is laid down in a process known as crawl space encapsulation, which keeps moisture and heat to a minimum, preventing mold growth.
If you are worried about your crawlspace, give your local crawl space mold removal experts a call today.
