Chances are, you’ve seen mold in your home’s crawl space. It’s hot and humid here in southern Alabama, which can only mean the fight with mold is in full swing. No matter how often you remove mold, it pops right back up. Is mold in the crawl space typical? Is there a solution that stops this fungus from rapidly growing in your space?
Mold is a Common Crawl Space Problem
Mold in a crawl space is a very common problem. The lack of air circulation in the crawl space serves as a breeding ground for mold since there is no way to control the temperature in the area. Mold may also form in a crawl space due to other issues, such as a new HVAC system, flooding,
The good news is that professional service can solve the crawl space mold you seek. Professionals can keep mold out of your crawl space with the use of a dehumidifier in many situations. When mold is a grave problem, professionals can address crawl space mold by installing a vapor barrier.
How to Rid Mold From the Crawl Space
Until professionals take these steps to prevent mold in the crawl space and once service is complete, you want to take a few additional steps to safeguard your property.
