Our Crawl Space Mold Removal Process
If you’re dealing with mold in your crawl space you may wonder what a professional cleaning looks like. Here’s a look at how our restoration technicians approach crawl space mold remediation in Norcross, GA.
Contacting Us: If you suspect you have mold in your crawl space, reach out to our professionals. After a brief conversation regarding our crawl space mold remediation services in Norcross, GA, we can have our staff on-site ASAP.
Inspect and Assess: Upon arrival, our experts will perform a thorough crawl space mold inspection to determine the extent of the mold growth. With our tools (like moisture meters and thermal cameras) and training, we’ll be able to safely determine the best course of action to combat it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes mold in my crawl space?
Crawl spaces sit close to the ground where moisture from soil and humidity have trouble escaping. Once it’s trapped the area becomes exceedingly damp and warm, creating the perfect space for mold to grow. Crawl space mold remediation in Norcross, GA, tackles the moisture problem at the root of the mold issue to stop it from returning once it’s removed.
Will wood that's affected by mold in my crawl space need to be replaced?
It depends on the severity of the infestation and how badly compromised the structural materials are. In many cases, crawl space mold treatments can save wood as long as wood rot hasn’t set in. Anything deemed unsafe by your crawl space mold remediation team will need to be replaced.
Can I just close off vents in my crawl space to stop mold?
Sadly, no. Without dealing with the underlying moisture issue that’s fueling the mold growth simply closing off vents won’t do much. Installing drainage and preventative measures like vapor barriers can’t stop the problem until the source of the moisture is completely taken care of.
