Mold Problems Before & After Photos

This home that was built in 1900 had a 2' crawlspace that needed mold remediation, Radon Ready,  CleanSpace Encapsulation System, & 3" thick (R19) closed cell spray foam air sealing/insulation around the perimeter walls & rim assembly to create a healthier & more energy efficient home!

Step 1 Professionally remediate mold from wooden structural elements.

Step 2 Apply EPA registered fungicidal coating to affected wooden structural elements.

Step 3 Encapsulate crawlspace with 20 mil cord reinforced liner - fastened and sealed.

Step 4 Enjoy a dry, mold free, healthy home!

Remediating the mold & rodent infestation & installing a CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation System to isolate the dust from the earth made all the difference for the entire health of this home. After a local HVAC company cleaned the ducts - the forced air heating system is pushing clean dry air throughout the house instead of moldy/rodent/dusty laced air from the crawlspace - Good Call!

This 2nd story home had structural damage in the attic due to the stack affect - moisturre evaporating from the damp exposed earth in the crawlspace migrating up through the house as heat rises - moisture condensated on the cold surfaces of the attic and warped the wood soffits - caught just in time before mold was able to grow in the attic. Unfortunatelly the same could not be said about the crawlspace - We had to remove the isulation to efficiently clean the mold from the perimeter rim joists, sill plates, subfloor, & floor joists. After drying out these structural components we applied an EPA registered fungicidal coating to help protect from future mold growth. We also insulated the walls and installed a CleanSpace Encapsualtion System. 

These 8 units all had the same issues - exposed earth with groundwater seepage, microbial growth on the wooden structure, and rodent contaminated insulation. We bagged and removed the insulation, remediated the mold, and isolated the structures from the earth with the CleanSpace 20 mil liner sealed around the perimeter. Copper mesh wire was stuffed into gaps and closed cell spray foamed over in addition to insulating the walls - to keep the subfloor exposed for maintenance of plumbing and electrical.
