Sand that looks dry on top and holds moisture below. The framing above it never fully dries out.
Byron homeowners are often surprised to find mold under the house, because the sandy yard dries out so quickly after rain. The surface is misleading. Below the top layer the soil holds moisture, and it releases it upward into the crawl space continuously.
That steady supply is what mold needs. It does not require standing water or a dramatic leak. A subfloor that sits above damp ground in an open vented crawl space through a Georgia summer will grow mold on its own schedule, and by the time the smell reaches the living room it has usually been established for a while.
The work has two halves that have to happen together. We treat and clean the affected framing, remove wet insulation and debris, then seal the ground, handle any water arriving from outside, and add humidity control. Doing only the first half means the same call again in eighteen months.
Byron homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
Thank you Trench Guys for repairing our foundation. John gave our home a thorough inspection and explained the process so we knew exactly what the problem was and our options. They worked hard and were friendly and knowledgeable.
