Crawl Space Mold Removal
Crawl space mold removal cleans growth from floor joists, subfloor, and support framing in the shallow space beneath part or all of a home. These areas are dark, often damp, and rarely visited, so mold can spread for years.
The problem

Exposed soil, missing vapor barriers, and poor drainage can keep crawl spaces humid. Air from the crawl space moves up into the living areas, which is why a musty smell upstairs sometimes starts below the floor.
