What are Crawl Spaces?

A crawl space is a name given to any of the unoccupied, narrow, low-clearance spaces beneath the floor. These areas are primarily responsible for keeping buildings off the soil in order to control moisture levels.

As you might expect, the crawl space is named after its size. There is typically not enough room to stand in these spaces, which means you have to crawl to get around. While these underground spaces vary significantly in size, anything larger than 1.5 meters in height is normally called a basement.

Why do Crawl Spaces get so Moldy?

Mold issues are common in crawl spaces for two primary reasons:

Firstly, due to their location, there is a higher level of humidity and moisture in crawl spaces compared to enclosed living areas. These spaces are right against the ground, which means moisture is always nearby and ready to invade. There’s also a lack of fresh air in these spaces, with poor ventilation known to increase mold growth.

Secondly, these spaces are rarely visited, as they’re enclosed and not easy to access. This doesn’t create mold by itself. However, it does mean that mold often goes undetected for months or years at a time. If flooding or burst pipes cause water damage and it goes undetected, mold spores are likely to flourish in the foundation walls.

What Types of Mold Grow in a Crawl Space?

Much like a basement, the mold in a crawl space can be divided into two categories. These categories are allergenic or white molds and toxic or black molds. White molds can cause allergic reactions, but black molds are typically much more harmful. Black molds are characterized by their dark appearance and strong, musty odor.

In order to prevent mold growth in your crawl space, you should install a vapor barrier. A vapor barrier is a plastic sheeting that is placed over the ground under the floor joists. This will create a barrier between the organic material in the soil and the air in your crawl space, depriving mold of its food source.

The Health Risks Associated with Mold:

Mold is a type of fungus that flourishes in some indoor conditions. It thrives in moist, warm environments — especially in underground areas and around water leaks. Crawl spaces are the perfect environment for mold. This is why it’s so important to be proactive when it comes to prevention and remediation.

If you fail to treat mold in your crawl space, it can affect the air quality throughout your entire building. Exposure to mold can cause a range of allergic symptoms, including sneezing, coughing, and itching. Repeated exposure to mold can also cause more serious problems, including respiratory problems, headaches, and fatigue.

I was contacted promptly after inquiry, Eli was great in explaining where specifically the asbestos was found in my older mobile home, and how it was to be removed before the structure could be demolished. Job was done great and within the timeframe they stated in the estimate. Would definitely recommend.

I highly recommend ES-America's services. Knowing very little about asbestos, I researched widely and called many companies. Sarah and Elias by far surpassed their competition. For me, ES out-shined others with their commitment and excitement about their chosen expertise (all about asbestos). On our first call, Sarah answered my questions quickly and thoroughly, which prompted deeper questions that I had not asked other companies (because the reps seemed lacking in knowledge or interest). With other companies, I felt the need to continue searching. With Sarah, I hired ES after the first call. Elias came the next day and was just as enthusiastic and competent. He worked quickly and then expertly taped over and cleaned up the test areas. The test results arrived within hours - and thankfully were all negative. Last note: their pricing seems competitive.

I cannot express enough how impressed I am with Environmental Services of America. From the moment I first contacted them for an estimate to the completion of the job, they have demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly deserves five stars. First and foremost, their communication was impeccable. They promptly returned my initial inquiry and scheduled a consultation at a time that worked for me. The estimator who came to my property was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a clear and detailed explanation of the entire asbestos removal process. This put my mind at ease right from the start. What truly stood out to me was their attention to detail and their commitment to leaving my property clean and asbestos-free. They took great care in disposing of the hazardous materials, and the final cleanup was so thorough that you couldn't tell there had ever been asbestos in my home. Not only was their work exceptional, but the team was also friendly, courteous, and respectful throughout the entire process. It's evident that they take their responsibility seriously and genuinely care about the well-being of their clients. I'm incredibly grateful to Environmental Services of America for their outstanding service. They turned a potentially stressful situation into a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of asbestos removal services. You can trust them to do the job right, professionally, and with the utmost care for your safety and peace of mind. Thank you, Environmental Services of America!
