Two centuries of open crawl space under antebellum homes above the Oconee, with red clay holding moisture year round.
The antebellum and Victorian homes in Milledgeville sit on original brick pier foundations with crawl spaces that have been open since the day they were built. Two centuries of humid summers is a long time for framing to be exposed to moisture.
Baldwin County ground adds to it. Red clay on rolling terrain sends runoff downhill toward the low side of a lot, and the ground closer to the Oconee holds moisture year round. Bare earth under an old house releases that moisture continuously into the space.
Work on a historic house has to be careful. We remove debris and any contaminated material by hand, clean and treat the framing with products suited to old wood, then seal the ground and control the humidity. Nothing about it is visible from inside the house and the original material stays in place.
Our crawl space mold removal scope is the same on every Milledgeville home, whatever the Baldwin County ground turns out to be doing.
