Mold Remediation
Mold is a fungus that can be white, black, green, or red. Its fuzzy or slimy texture can cause severe health issues like respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma.
If your home smells musty, you see visible mold or water stains, warped wood, or an increase in respiratory issues, mold spores are probably the issue. Dry Otter offers free inspections to determine the extent of the problem.
Our easy 3-step process for basement and crawl space mold removal in Hickory ensures your problem is resolved. We remove all potentially dangerous air particles, pollutants, and allergens from the air. Then, we remove all visible mold and clean it with an antimicrobial solution to complete the process.
Crawl spaces and basements are the perfect breeding ground for mold because they lack sunlight, have higher humidity, and have less airflow. Plumbing leaks, condensation from walls and foundation cracks, and wood and insulation feed mold growth.
The most significant benefit of mold removal is air quality. Mold can cause respiratory infections, and for those already suffering from allergies or asthma, mold can significantly increase those problems.
Mold removal keeps your home’s integrity safe, improves air quality, and adds value to your home.

Vicki Gurley2025-09-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After reading many great reviews, we used Dry Otter to remove mold and mildew from a newly purchased older home. Dry Otter then expertly encapsulated the crawlspace and installed a dehumidifier (Thanks Johnathan, Trey, and Desmond!!) and did the needed structual repairs. Great job!! The dehumidifier monitor now assures us that the crawlspace remains dry. THANK YOU, DRY OTTER! Rick Dunlap2025-09-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The work done by Will and his crew was excellent. I can sit in my crawlspace with a sense of calm as it is so clean. Cheryl Waggener2025-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Kimberly Jones2025-09-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After researching crawl space encapsulation and asking neighbors, I found Dry Otter. I contacted 4 companies and 2 didn’t even respond. Dry Otter came out and presented photos, info on their process & system and a quote on the spot. I appreciate their professionalism and responsiveness and the price was not only the better option but most importantly was a better material used and I like the fact they are independent family-owned. The team that did the work was Noah, Corey, Jam & Tristen. A group of very nice hard working young men. Noah was especially great and easy to work with. They called both days 20 minutes out, communicated during the process and explained everything in detail with instructions, etc. With our house being a new build only a year old, we wanted to make this important investment to protect the support beams and trusses for the long term. I’m looking forward to some energy saving as well. And, no critters or bugs will be especially nice too! I highly recommend Dry Otter! Joey Tirak2025-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My crawlspace needed some attention had pretty high humidity and condensation on duct work. Decided to go with an encapsulation with foam board on walls. Dry otter was great to work with. Will and Josh were the installers and their communication and professionalism was outstanding. The crawl space looks great now and thet explained everything very well. They even checked back in a couple days after the install to make sure the humidity has dropped. highly recommend Dry Otter if you need a crawl space encapsulation
