Fixing Moisture and Mold in J. Smith's Decatur, AL, Home

Problem:

J. Smith from Decatur, AL, contacted us regarding persistent moisture problems in his crawl space, an issue that required immediate attention to prevent further complications.

Solution:

Our expert crew tackled this challenge methodically:

1. Crawl Space Cleaning: The team commenced by diligently removing all insulation and any trash and debris from the crawl space. This thorough clean-up was a crucial first step in addressing the moisture issue.

2. Mold Remediation: Our crew conducted a mold remediation process following the clean-up. This involved carefully removing all existing mold and fungus from the wood joists in the crawl space, ensuring a clean and healthy environment.

3. 20 Mil Encapsulation Installation: After preparing the area, the crew installed a robust 20 mil encapsulation. Encapsulation is a highly effective technique that protects the crawl space from external conditions. This strategy is pivotal in regulating the humidity and moisture levels within the space.

4. Dehumidifier Integration: We installed a dehumidifier within the crawl space to reinforce the encapsulation. The dehumidifier plays a vital role in maintaining optimal humidity levels, thereby preventing the recurrence of mold and fungus.

5. Air Quality Enhancement: The combination of encapsulation and dehumidification not only safeguards the crawl space but also contributes significantly to improving the air quality within the home. This approach is essential for a healthy living environment, free from mold and moisture-related concerns.
