A shallow water table under sandy ground, and open vented crawl spaces that have never been sealed.
Elko crawl spaces have two things working against them. The water table under this part of Houston County sits close to the surface, so the ground stays damp, and the houses are old enough that the crawl spaces were built open and vented with nothing on the floor.
That combination gives mold a permanent home. Moisture rises out of the soil day and night, humid summer air comes through the vents, and the framing above stays in the range where growth continues. In an old house that has been going on for a very long time.
The job is cleanup, treatment, and then removing the conditions. Contaminated insulation and debris come out, framing gets cleaned and treated, and the ground gets a sealed cover with humidity control. Where block piers have surface growth they get treated too. Photographs and a fixed written price come first.
Every Elko home gets the same crawl space mold removal scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
