Crawl Space Mold Removal in Halifax, NS
Mold and white rot on your floor joists treated and removed, then sealed off so the damp that caused it can't come back.
Crawl space mold removal is treating and removing the mold and white rot that grows on damp floor joists and subfloors, then sealing the space so the moisture feeding it is gone. We do both, because removing the mold without fixing the damp just means it comes back.
Mold in a crawl space is a moisture problem first. The joists and subfloor stay damp, mold and white rot take hold, and because it's out of sight it can spread for years before anyone notices, usually when the smell reaches the main floor or a home inspection flags it.
We treat the affected wood, remove what's growing, and clean up the space. Then, and this is the part that matters, we deal with the damp that caused it. Seal the crawl space, control the humidity, and the mold has nothing to come back to.
How we handle crawl space mold
- Inspect the joists, subfloor, and insulation for the extent of it
- Remove wet, mold-damaged insulation and debris
- Treat the wood to kill and remove the growth
- Find the moisture source feeding it
- Seal the space and add humidity control so it stays gone
Why it spreads so fast here
Our damp coastal climate and the number of older Halifax-area homes on uninsulated crawl spaces make for ideal mold conditions. A small amount of moisture and poor airflow is all it takes. That's why we don't just clean it, we change the conditions so the wood under your house stays dry.
