Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Mold Growth in Rockport, IN
A customer from Rockport, IN, reached out to us about mold growth concerns located in their crawl space. Mold spores thrive in humidity and wet space such as this crawl space. Mold is a living organism that can survive between 70% and 99% relative humidity. When mold grows it reproduces more airborne seeds to grow more mold. These seeds are like tiny parachutes that float through the air that will stick onto damp surfaces such as the muddy crawl space floor or damp, wooden beams. It is urgent to have mold remediation done before your health is at risk.
To remove mold thoroughly, mold remediation is done. All beams are scrubbed and sprayed away to prevent new mold from growing. To correct the issue of how the mold was able to thrive in the first place, a 20 mil liner called CleanSpace is laid throughout the space and sealed together at the seams to prevent any moving. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner. A SmartSump pump was installed to pump water from under the CleanSpace liner, to the outdoors. The crawl space is now healthy and longer a risk to the homeowner's health.
