Mold in Crawl Space in Crofton, KY

Homeowner in Crofton, KY had issues with humidity in their crawl space which eventually caused mold to grow on the floor joists. When you have humidity in the crawl space, it can lead to the following problems: rotting & mold, odors & allergens, and higher utility bills just to name a few. As humidity builds in your crawl space, it creates an ideal space for mold and rot to grow which is exactly what our client was experiencing. After hearing that their neighbors used Healthy Spaces, they decided to give us a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

Our team first needed to remove any materials that had been exposed to mold spores before we could remediate them. Once that was completed, Sean and his team, treated the entire area with chemicals to kill any remaining mold and would prevent any further growth. Once all the mold was removed and the area was treated, our team installed a new vapor barrier throughout the crawl space and sealed all vents. Controlling ground moisture with a vapor barrier is a crucial part of keeping your crawl space dry and creates a healthier environment for your family to breathe.

 

 

 

Crawl Space Mold Growing in Morganfield, KY Crawl Space

The crawl space in this Morganfield, KY home was not a place you wanted to be. It was wet and growing mold, giving the area an overall damp feeling. Since crawl spaces are the lowermost points of a home, the "Stack Effect" explains that air flows in your home from bottom to top, meaning that the mold in the crawl space can be easily breathed in by those upstairs, causing a serious problem. Homeowner Ann A. knew that her crawl space wasn't in the best shape, but she had no idea how severe the mold really was until System Design Specialist, Scott Schaum, completed an inspection on it.

Following the inspection, Scott sat down with Ann and explained the best route to take regarding cleaning up the crawl space and making her home a healthy place to be. He recommended a mold remediation treatment, and she agreed. They got it scheduled and our Mold Remediation crew was there to do the job. Our remediation process includes removing all mold-damaged materials, drying out the basement or crawl space, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces. We use safe, effective cleaning products, and all of our technicians are trained and certified in professional mold remediation techniques that won't spread the mold in your home.

Mold Living in a Cadiz, KY Crawl Space

Homeowner Kent W. from Cadiz, KY hadn't been down in his crawl space in years, and quite frankly, he didn't want to be.

He couldn't pinpoint exactly where the smell was coming from but decided to give Healthy Spaces a call to fight the problem.

Our crews came out and did just that. Now, Kent and his family have a healthy home to live in, without worrying about the health risks that come along with the mold. 

Your home is your largest investment- financially and emotionally. Fix the problem, like Kent did, before it becomes a nightmare.

Mold in a Crawl Space in Santa Clause, IN

Positioned in Santa Clause, IN, a home needed a mold-free crawlspace to relieve existing allergies and remove mold that was appearing on the walls from the floor above the crawlspace. In some situations, a crawlspace will pose as an "out of sight, out of mind" place and is left uninspected. A moldy crawlspace will have damp air with smelly mold spores. The mold reaches from the floor above through either the HVAC system or the stack effect. The stack effect creates airflow in the home from the bottom to the top. Air from the crawl space is drawn upward into the first floor and then the second floor. The same air from the crawl space makes up about half of what you breathe. Being informed about the dangers of mold will help homeowners be aware of their health and their homes.

There is a process to follow for mold removal. Mold is scrubbed off all parts of the crawl space and then taken care of through mold remediation. A Smart Sump was installed to remove excess water, and an installation of CleanSpace was put in. A SaniDry Sedona was installed to create dry airflow, making mold survival and population difficult. An exterior crawl space door is used to close a vent in the crawlspace to banish outside air from entering. The process was completed successfully, additionally, creating a clean and safe atmosphere for the couple to continue living in. 

 

Mold on Ceiling in Evanston, IN

A home in Evanston, IN had a loft with light brown wooden beams on the ceiling.  The homeowner reached out to us when a few mold spores were spotted on the beams. Mold can be an irritant for anyone with asthma or allergies.  Mold likes to spread onto processed organic fibers, and since the ceiling is constructed of wooden beams, then the mold is being attracted to that area.  This is a treatable issue, but it is best to catch it later to prevent any physical signs of allergies or asthma. 

The mold on the ceiling is removed through mold remediation. Every problem area is scrubbed to remove any mold stains and then sprayed.  After mold remediation is completed, if a homeowner wants reassurance that the mold is not able to thrive there again, a service technician can come annually to inspect the area.  If any spots are spotted, it is normally sprayed and scrubbed. The homeowner was satisfied with the results of a mold-free ceiling!
