Crawl Space Mold Remediation in Burlington, NC

Mold Remediation & Removal

Mold grows where there’s moisture, little airflow and wood to feed on, which describes many crawl spaces in our humid climate. You may notice a musty smell indoors, dark spots on floor joists, or white, fuzzy growth on wood.

We inspect the crawl space, show you what we find, and treat the affected surfaces. Then we recommend how to control moisture going forward, whether that’s a vapor barrier, a dehumidifier or full encapsulation, so the problem doesn’t keep returning.

Mold Remediation FAQs

Mold Remediation & Removal

Mold needs moisture, a food source such as wood, and little airflow. Ground moisture, humid outdoor air coming through vents, and plumbing leaks are common causes.

It can if the moisture problem isn’t fixed. That’s why we pair treatment with moisture control like a vapor barrier, dehumidifier or encapsulation.

Qualifying sealed crawl spaces can include our Lifetime Mold and Fungus Guarantee when it is included in your written warranty documents. It covers treated surfaces within the original project scope, as long as the crawl space stays sealed and its moisture-control systems are maintained and running as designed.

It might be mold, or it might be efflorescence (mineral deposits on masonry). We’ll identify what it is during your inspection.

Most crawl space treatments don’t require you to leave, but we’ll tell you what to expect for your specific job.

It depends on the size and condition of your crawl space. After your free inspection, you’ll get a written quote. Financing is available through Synchrony, subject to credit approval.

We provide a 25-Year Limited Workmanship Warranty on qualifying installation work. Coverage, conditions and exclusions are spelled out in your written warranty.
