Crawl space mold remediation removes mold and fungus from the wood framing under your home and seals it so it can't regrow. Cobb treats the joists, sill plates and walls with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, scrubs the growth off and seals the wood. Pricing is about $2.50 per square foot treated, and it's included in our Sapphire encapsulation package.

Signs of mold in your crawl space

  • A musty or earthy smell inside the house, especially on humid days
  • White, gray, green or black fuzz or spots on joists and subfloor
  • Insulation sagging or falling out of the joists
  • Soft or springy floors
  • Allergy symptoms that feel worse at home

Our mold remediation process

  1. Inspect and measure. We photograph the growth and take moisture readings on the wood and in the air.
  2. Remove damaged material. Wet or moldy insulation is bagged out.
  3. Treat and scrub. An EPA-registered antimicrobial goes on the affected framing, and the growth is scrubbed off.
  4. Seal the wood. Treated wood is sealed so spores can't take hold again.
  5. Fix the cause. Without moisture control, mold returns. We recommend sealing and dehumidifying with encapsulation.

Why mold keeps coming back

Mold needs moisture. Bleach or a one-time spray treats what you can see, but if the crawl space still runs above 60% humidity, it grows back. That's why we pair remediation with vent sealing, a vapor barrier and a dehumidifier.

Questions

Common questions

How much does crawl space mold remediation cost?

About $2.50 per square foot treated. For a 1,500 sq ft one-story home (about 46 × 33 ft of crawl space), the builder shows $3,795–$3,985. It's included in our Sapphire package. Call (864) 569-6325 to ask about current offers.

Is crawl space mold dangerous?

Air from the crawl space rises into your living space, so mold spores and musty odors can reach the rooms you live in. People with allergies or asthma often notice it most.

Can I just spray bleach on crawl space mold?

Bleach doesn't fix the moisture that caused the mold, and it can add more water to porous wood. The growth usually returns unless the crawl space is kept dry.

Will mold come back after remediation?

Not if humidity stays below 60%. That's why we recommend sealing the crawl space and installing a dehumidifier.
