Scuba Gear Needed

Mold spores, the seeds of mold, are in the air everywhere. All they need to grow is organic material such as wood, the right temperature range, and moisture. Of these, the only one that can be controlled is moisture. Dirt crawl spaces have the high humidity levels necessary for mold growth. Humidity levels from 50% to 90% are easily found in dirt crawl spaces that have never flooded.
Mold can grow on dirt, insulation, framing and even under your carpet on the first floor. Mold destroys organic materials as it feeds on them. Mold reproduces by producing millions of floating airborne spores, which some people are very sensitive to. Spores can be dormant for many years, waiting for the right conditions to grow. Some molds produce mycotoxins such as the black mold Stachybotrys. Visit our site for articles on the effects of mold, and toxic mold. Are the conditions right in this crawlspace for mold growth?

There are three things that destroy materials in general, and wood in particular: water, heat and ultra-violet radiation. Of these, water is by far the most important.
A dirt crawl space under a home is a very bad idea. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment.
A damp environment is very unhealthy and destructive. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions, and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage. The water level in this crawlspace was over a foot in areas! How a home owner could continue to allow this is beyond me. Among other issues the electrical wires were ran on ground and inch's away from a short. Crawlspace inspection is critical in home ownership and should be as routine as cleaning the gutters. Home owners benefit from our "Home Maintenance " program which includes routine inspection on all major areas of the property.
