Crawl Space Mold Removal for Forsyth homeowners
Forsyth has a downtown full of homes from the 1800s and early 1900s on brick pier foundations. Those crawl spaces have been open to the weather for their entire lives, which means a century or more of humid Georgia summers moving across the framing.
The ground under them is Piedmont clay with no sand layer to buffer it, so moisture reaches footing depth quickly and stays. Runoff coming downhill on the rolling terrain here adds to it. The result is a crawl space that spends most of the year in conditions where mold is active.
The old heart pine framing is generally strong enough to be worth protecting, and mold on it is a signal that the moisture level is too high for the wood. We clean and treat the framing, remove contaminated material, seal the ground, correct the grade and roof water outside, and add humidity control.
Here is what our crawl space mold removal work includes on a Forsyth home, in town or out toward the Monroe County line.
- Safe, thorough mold and mildew removal
- Antimicrobial treatment to prevent regrowth
- We fix the moisture source itself
- Fresher, healthier air upstairs
