Humid and Flooded Crawl Space Growing Mold and Fungi
Challenge
This homeowner has contacted our team regarding seepage issues in his dirt crawl space. The space is plagued by the presence of mold and fungi, posing significant health risks to the residents. Being a 50-year-old home with a history of seepage problems, the wooden beams in the crawl space are covered in white mold, while yellow fungi cover the dirt floor. Parts of the space had intense puddles and flooding, as well.
Solution
Quality 1st offers effective solutions to address these challenges. Encapsulating the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barriers prevents moisture seepage through floors and walls, reducing the risk of seepage issues. Installing a Smart Drain system channels water away from the crawl space, minimizing the potential for mold growth or flooding.
The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier maintains relative humidity below 55% to prevent mold and mildew growth. It removes up to 100 pints of moisture per day efficiently and consumes less electricity.
Our SilverGlo crawl space insulation regulates temperature and prevents moisture, improving energy efficiency and overall comfort.
By implementing these solutions, our professionals create a dry, healthy, and usable crawl space, mitigating the risks associated with mold and fungi.
