Mold Problems Before & After Photos

The owner was experiencing reactions such as rash and irritation of the skin as well as other complications when we first scoped the home. We found the structure to have mold under the subflooring and in between the joists, which was making everyone sick.

We were able to mitigate the problem by setting up containment and negative pressure in the crawlspace. Once we had an acceptable working environment, the area was hepa vacuumed and properly cleaned using a specialized cleaning solution.

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!

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.

The fridge water line failed which resulted in saturated sub-floor & floor joist. After 48 hours of moisture intrusion mold began to grow. We set up proper air controls and containment's to remedy the mold & dry the structural elements. After everything dried we re-insulated, regraded the earth, laid down a thick drainage matting & a durable 20 mil liner attached and sealed to the foundation walls - all in 2 days. Looks Good!
