Damp clay at the perimeter keeps fallen material wet, and wet material under a floor grows things.
Griffin crawl spaces under mill houses and fifties ranches are shallow, and heavy clay keeps the perimeter damp for a week at a time after rain. Anything lying near those edges never dries out.
What we clear is typically fallen fiberglass, decades of small debris, and material left behind by earlier repairs. Because the perimeter stays damp, that material is usually where mold is heaviest, and it is also closest to the framing that matters.
The work is hand clearing and hauling. Everything comes out, mold on the framing and the piers gets treated, and the ground gets graded flat. On this clay we usually talk through drainage at the same time, since a damp perimeter is what put the material in that condition.
Here is what our crawl space cleaning work includes on a Griffin home, in town or out toward the Spalding County line.
