The leading causes of mold infestation are water damage or excessive indoor moisture. As moisture builds up, there’s a greater chance of mold growth. Mold growth in a business or home can greatly impact indoor air quality, presenting significant health risks to individuals living or working there.
Individuals who have allergies or depressed immune systems (such as the elderly or children) can experience major health issues. If not treated properly, mold infestation can continue to persist and expand within a property, further increasing likelihood of health issues and more extensive property damage.

CRAWL SPACE INSPECTION
Whether you are selling or purchasing a new home, or simply wanting to make sure that your property is safe and well maintained, a crawl space inspection is a great idea. Most homeowners rarely, if ever, enter the crawl space under their home. If not properly maintained, this often-overlooked area of a home can have devastating impacts to the health of your family and the architectural integrity and resale value of your property.
How a Poorly Maintained Crawl Space Impact a Home
Problems originating in your crawl space can lead to serious problems throughout your home.
Water or excess moisture in your crawl space cause mold, mildew and rot. These issues can quickly spread to other areas of your home. Excess moisture in your crawl space can cause issues with insulation, supports and compromise subflooring.
Additionally, wet wood is extremely attractive to bugs and termites as it is easier for them to burrow into or through it. Because the crawl space is at the bottom of your home, it’ easier for bugs and other pests to find their way in. Pests and vermin in your crawlspace have easy access to your home and once inside, have a comfortable place to build nests and reproduce. These pests can cause damage to electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation.
What Happens During a Crawl Space Inspection
Our trained and certified inspector will enter your crawl space to evaluate a number of criteria and components to identify any issues (present or potential). Once completed, they will prepare a report of their findings and will offer suggestions on the best course(s) of action to reduce or eliminate costly repairs in the future.
Specific areas of evaluation:
• Moisture levels and damage (dampness, condensation, warping, etc.)
• Mold or mildew
• Plumbing systems (waste and supply lines)
• Crawl space venting
• HVAC components (ducting, vents, etc.)
• Sill plates
• Electrical systems and wiring
• Foundation
