Is there mold in your crawl space? You couldn’t be blamed if you’ve never given it much thought. Crawl spaces are that section of property that are always so out of sight and out of mind that unless there is a reason to be down below, you might simply forget it’s there at all.
A route of access to foundational supports and ductwork, you likely won’t be going in a crawl space any time soon. Mold, however, doesn’t wait for someone to come along and spot it.
In the right conditions, excess moisture can absolutely lead to mold growth, and in a place like a crawl space by the time you notice it you could have a full-blown mold infestation on your hands.
It may be tempting to tackle the problem head-on by yourself, but we at United Water Restoration Group of Fairfax, Virginia would heavily advise against it.
When dealing with mold, you’re often dealing with a situation that’s much more than what you see at the surface level.
In a crawl space and other confined spaces, attempting mold remediation without the right training and tools may prove more costly in the long run. You’re setting yourself up for failure that can damage your home and even make you ill due to prolonged exposure to mold spores in this scenario.
The current average of mold remediation across the industry is a little over $2,000 in most instances and while at first glance that may be a jarring amount, with the right insurance coverage most of the cost shouldn’t come out of your pocket at all.
