What is Mold?
Mold is a general term for fungi that grow in various colors, including black, green, white, and red. Mildew is powdery and white, while mold is fuzzy or slimy.
Your crawl space is the perfect breeding ground for mold, especially if you live in a warm, wet climate like Winston-Salem.
Studies show that 40-50% of the air in your home originates in your crawl space.
If you’re worried about mold, our free home inspection will allow our technicians to evaluate the situation and offer workable solutions for a mold-free space.









Crawl Space Mold Causes
Water damage
Leaks, flooding, and condensation all lead to mold growth.
High humidity
Crawl spaces are close to the ground and naturally more humid. The dampness and lack of ventilation provide the perfect environment for mold growth.
Poor Ventilation
Lack of airflow allows moisture to build and sit in the space creating mold and stagnant air.
Organic Materials
Wood, paper, and insulation all feed and encourage mold growth.
Warm environment
Mold grows in temperatures between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, typical of most crawl spaces, especially in areas like Winston-Salem.
Lack of sunlight
Crawl spaces are naturally dark, with little to no sunlight. Sunlight naturally kills mold.
Other causes
Foundation cracks, plumbing leaks, condensation and soil moisture, porous crawl space walls, lack of a vapor barrier, improper grading

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.

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
