Excess Moisture in the Crawlspace
By testing your crawlspace for excess humidity we can inform you if you’re at risk of possible mold growth in the future. Something you’ll be glad to avoid as mold is an organism that will continue to eat through the material if left unchecked and can cause structural damage to your home.
Crawlspace Mold
Mold in your crawlspace is best removed by certified experts. We have the equipment, methods, and education to ensure the job is done right. Armor Restoration has the experience of years removing mold from homes right here in Treasure Valley Idaho.
By beginning the mold removal process as soon as mold is found, we can mitigate structural damage to your property. However, treating the mold isn’t always enough. We need to find what caused the mold to grow in the first place. By doing a thorough inspection of your crawlspace we will have a good idea of the cause and help you in finding solutions to any problems found.
Rodents and Bugs in the Crawlspace
Rodents and Insects both love the environment your crawlspace provides. Unfortunately, that can cause harm to both your home and family. By doing an annual inspection of your crawlspace we can catch any infestation, hopefully, before any damage is done.
Crawlspace Insulation
Due to various causes such as water damage, insect or rodents, the insulation in our crawlspace’s can become damaged. Damaged insulation is going to be much less affective in insulating our home in both the summer and winter months.
knowledge is power. We will inspect the insulation in your crawlspace and report back to you our findings.
Water Damage in Crawlspace
Water damage is destructive anywhere in your home and this includes your crawl space. When you have excess moisture in the air, it is a breading ground for mold. If that wasn’t bad enough, standing water can also invite bugs and or rodents causing further damage.
A pipe break, sprinkler, or house flood can often be the cause of water damage in a home’s crawlspace. These are often large water events that you will catch as they happen. However, sometimes it can be a slow leak from a plumbing pipe that can go undetected without an annual inspection.
Vapor Barrier Damage
Your vapor barrier provides protection from excess moisture in your crawlspace. So if your vapor barrier has been installed incorrectly, or has been damaged, it could be allowing moisture to come incontact with the materials your home is made of. Increasing your chances of mold forming.
Our annual crawlspace inspection can catch any problems, or potential problems with your vapor barrier. We’ll have a plan to fix the issues found. Giving you the power to choose the path going forward.
