Repairing a Crawl Space in Fort Smith, AR
Challenge
Homeowner Brandy T noticed that she has mold in her crawl space.
Solution
Dirt crawl spaces have high humidity levels necessary for mold growth. Humidity levels from 50-90% are easily found in dirt crawl spaces that have never flooded. Mold can grow on dirt, insulation, framing an even under your caret on the first floor. Mold destroys organic materials as it feeds on them. Mold reproduces by producing millions of floating airborne spores, which some people are very sensitive to. Spores can be dormant for many years, waiting for the right conditions to grow. Some molds produce mycotoxin, such as the black mold Stachybotrys. For Brandy, what we did to help get rid of her mold and prevent mold from growing in the future, was installing our CleanSpace liner and our EverLast Door.
Our CleanSpace liner is designed to isolate the home from the earth completely and permanently, which dramatically reduces the humidity levels in the air. The EverLast door will seal off outside air over and windows or vents that you might have in your crawl space. Both of these products will prevent any moisture from entering your crawl space, which will keep your house healthier and mold free!!
