Mold & Mildew in the Crawl Space?

Mold

No one likes to find mold and mildew in their crawl space. Once you have mold professionally removed, how will you prevent mold and mildew from coming back? As long as there is a damp atmosphere in the space beneath your home, organic growth will continue to reappear despite efforts to eliminate it. To keep mildew and mold out of your Nashville home’s crawl space, once the growth has been completely removed, USS recommends fully encapsulating your crawl space.

DehumidifierUSS can help you with mildew prevention for your Nashville home and keeping the mold out of your crawl space with an encapsulation warrantied for a lifetime for materials and workmanship. USS has years of experience in encapsulating crawl spaces, and we stand by our products, our installation team, and our warranty service. You can find peace of mind in knowing that USS will restore the integrity of your home by helping you keep your crawl space drier with a USS encapsulation.

USS encapsulation services are designed to lower the humidity in your crawl space and rid excess water moisture in the air. This helps prevent wood rot, deter a breeding ground for pests, and eliminate mold and mildew growth. By maintaining a drier, healthier crawl space and keeping mold out of your Nashville crawl space, you promote cleaner air and a healthier home.

Mold RemediationYou can hire a mold remediation professional to remove the mildew, but moisture issues will return if you do not address the root of the problem. Often water will enter a dirt floor crawl space by rising up through the ground, also known as rising damp. The soil outside the crawl space can also get so saturated with water (from rainwater, water leaks, or other water drainage issues) that the pressure, known as hydrostatic pressure, can cause excess water to seep through tiny cracks in the foundation concrete block. If too much moisture enters the crawl space, waterproofing with an interior drain system may be necessary and is the best way to remove water from a crawl space*. Encapsulating a crawl space once you waterproof with an interior drain system helps complete the plan to reduce mold and mildew in the lower areas of your home. (*Interior drain systems are the best way to remove excess moisture in basements. Encapsulating a basement is not recommended for basements used as living spaces.)
