With our mold remediation and moisture control services, we can resolve mold in the crawlspace under your home.
For most families in the Hickory, North Carolina area, the crawlspace under the home isn’t given much thought. The adage “out of sight, out of mind” tends to be the rule until there is an indication that something might be amiss. At AdvantaClean of Lake Norman, Hickory and Gastonia, when we get a call for mold removal or because someone suspects mold in their house, our investigation often results in finding mold in the crawlspace. This is because the crawlspace is usually a perfect breeding ground for mold – dark, warm, and humid or even moist.
Once mold in crawlspaces has started to grow, it isn’t uncommon for it to continue spreading up into the home, causing damage to wood and other building materials along the way. While not as invasive and damaging as termites, mold is still undesirable. In addition to putting your home at risk, many people are sensitive to mold spores and experience respiratory distress because of them.
If we do find mold, our mold remediation professionals will remove the mold in the crawlspace. We will also discuss what has caused the mold and may recommend crawlspace encapsulation to provide a vapor barrier that will keep the crawlspace dry and less susceptible to mold growth.
If you have any questions about our mold services or you suspect you have mold in the crawlspace under your home, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are confident that between our mold remediation services and moisture control services, we can resolve mold and its affect on indoor air quality in your home.

Why does it matter if there’s mold in my crawlspace?
Some people assume that, since they rarely utilize their crawlspace, mold growth in that area isn’t a cause for concern. However, mold can quickly spread after it takes hold in one room, and it can easily cause issues throughout the rest of your home, too. Furthermore, mold growth can cause respiratory issues, musty odors, and other unpleasant issues.
How will your team deal with the mold in my crawlspace?
Our experienced mold remediation team will carefully assess the scope of the mold problem, identify the source of moisture, and fix this area right away. Once we stop water from entering the crawlspace, we will use air filters, strong cleaning agents, and other advanced equipment to remove all damaged components and thoroughly clean the space. We strongly recommend encapsulating your crawlspace to prevent any future mold or moisture issues, and we would be more than happy to take care of this process as well.
What will the crawlspace encapsulation process look like?
Our team will thoroughly cover your crawlspace with a waterproof barrier to prevent any moisture from entering your crawlspace. This measure can have several benefits, including preventing pest infestations, preventing mold growth, and enhancing your home’s energy efficiency.
