Crawl Space Remediation - Tackling Mold Problems In Your Northern Virginia Home

If you have mold in your home, you might have good reason to suspect that the problems stems from conditions in your crawl space, but you may be wondering what work will an expert on crawl space remediation recommend? You are not alone. Many home owners throughout the Northern Virginia area are aware of the dangers involved with mold growth in their home, but are not fully aware of what it means to pay for crawl space remediation. Here is a discussion of the process that the experts undertake to detect and remediate the causes of mold in your crawlspace.

Crawl space remediation obviously begins and ends in the crawl space below your Washington DC area home. Upon entering the crawl space, the professionals at RTS Environmental will survey the crawl space for wet areas and debris. All unnecessary materials are removed. Often we find items such as scraps of wood, nails, screws, insulation, paper and other construction-related items, as well as animal remains, nests or even organic matter like mushrooms and fungus. Each of these things is removed, since they are not needed and because they can trap moisture and lead to mold growth.

After all debris is removed, the crawl space remediation project continues with identifying any areas that may allow water to enter the crawl space. Once identified, our crews will begin determining the best way to approach repairs, without causing further damage to the crawl space.

The object of crawl space remediation is to prevent water and moisture from entering the crawl space, which also prevents mold growth. Mold spores thrive in areas of the home that are dark, damp and warm — the exact climate in an unprotected crawl space. Our team of mold prevention experts will assess your crawl space and make recommendations on how best to approach the mold problem in your Maryland home. Each home is different, and each set of circumstances require a unique crawl space remediation approach.
