In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was dealing with moisture in the crawl space. The moisture and humidity had created a great place for mold to form, causing allergies for the owner. Some mold spores produce a chemical byproduct called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins begin when other species compete for space which then causes chemical warfare on molds. The compounds can affect your respiratory system. Although you can not see mycotoxins, some may detect a musty smell in the home or space that they are present in. The homeowner was ready to begin the mold remediation process to prevent mold from forming again and encapsulating the crawl space.
The first step in a healthy crawl space is removing any unhealthy growth, such as mold. Through mold remediation, all affected and unaffected organic surfaces are scrubbed and treated. Next, drainage matting is laid on the floor to direct water to the sump pump. SilverGlo insulation is put on the walls to reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity. Lastly, the crowd favorite, CleanSpace is secured on the walls and floor to protect the vapor barrier. The homeowner was relieved to find the CleanSpace healthy, protecting him from allergies in the future.
