Moldy Crawl Space in Madisonville, KY

In Madisonville, KY, a homeowner was referred by their doctor to contact Healthy Spaces, with concerns about mold in their crawlspace. The crawl space had active mold spores on the crawl space ceiling. Mold thrives in environments where temperatures are between 32 and 100 degrees with 70% and 99% relative humidity. Mycotoxins are what some species of mold used to compete for space with other species to wage chemical warfare on other molds. The moisture had affected the ceiling which caused the floor from above to sink in a bit. It was urgent to perform mold remediation and fix the foundation for the homeowner so that their health and safety are not at risk. 

CleanSpace was fastened to the upper parts of the walls and floor. It has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner. Mold remediation was performed beforehand. Next, the floor above needed to be repaired by adding SmartJacks. SmartJacks are steel support systems used to permanently stabilize and level girders and floor joists in a crawl space.
