What is crawl space mold & moisture?
Mold on crawl space framing is a sign of too much moisture. Cleaning the mold is only half the job; if the moisture stays, the mold returns.
A specialist treats affected wood, then fixes the cause, whether that is groundwater, open vents, a missing barrier or plumbing leaks.
Signs you may need it
- White, gray, green or black growth on joists and subfloor
- A musty smell in the home
- Allergy symptoms that get worse at home
- Damp or dark-stained wood

Crawl Space Mold & Moisture FAQ
Is crawl space mold dangerous?
Air from the crawl space moves up into the house, so mold under the home can affect indoor air. People with allergies or asthma are often the first to notice.
Will mold come back after treatment?
It will if the moisture problem stays. That is why treatment is usually paired with a barrier, encapsulation or dehumidifier.
