Crawl Space Mold Removal

Mold accumulation in a property’s crawlspace is a common occurrence. Moisture from the crawlspace’s soil floor allows mold to grow on its floor joists, support pillars and cinder blocks in many cases.

Upon calling The Rapid Group for a proper mold assessment, a certified mold inspector will quickly arrive to determine the extent of your mold problem. The mold inspector assigned to your account will harvest several mold samples to positively confirm its identity and profile its level of danger to the residence of your home or office. Upon positive confirmation, a quote for complete mold removal will be given and included safety tips to avoid contact with said mold.

Steps For Removing Mold From Your Crawlspace Will Typically Include:

  • Identification And Repair Of Plumbing Issues That May Cause Moisture Accumulation In Your Crawlspace Including Leaky Pipes Or Lack Of Rain Water Management.
  • Insulation Using A Mold Containment Barrier As To Prevent The Spread Of Mold Beyond The Crawl Space Area.
  • Use Of A Commercial Dehumidification System To Reduce The Air Humidity.
  • Implementation Of Backdraft Barriers To Isolate Any Gas Operated Appliances In The Vicinity.
