Ways You Can Help Prevent Crawlspace Mold From Growing

A homeowner in Nashville, Tennessee called in to our crawl space encapsulation and repair professionals with a concern regarding the potential for a mold growth outbreak in their crawl space. They were aware of the conditions it took for mold to grow and what conditions mold grew best in, and were able to identify that their home was a prime target. After scheduling a FREE evaluation, our team came out to their home to take a look and identify if a mold infestation had already begun. The homeowners explained they had never had an encapsulation or evaluation done of their crawl space before. Once our team took a look, it was clear right away that the humidity accumulation was high. There was a definite amount of moisture in the crawl space but, fortunately enough, mold had not begun to grow. It was great timing on their part to call in professionals that could install a vapor barrier to prevent the moisture from building up in their crawl space. The encapsulation was carried out and the crawl space was ruled out to be in rather good condition. Our team at Barrier Waterproofing gave the homeowners a little education on how to prevent mold growth in the future, such as checking for leaks in the foundation of the home, and to ensure that gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home.
