Winston-Salem Crawl Space Mold Removal

Mold can pose a significant health hazard. If you are seeing visible signs of mold, it’s time to call Dry Otter’s Winston-Salem mold remediation service for a free home inspection.

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

Our Solutions to Remove Mold

Dry Otter Waterproofing has a multi-step process for crawl space mold removal.

We begin by installing a negative air fan in your crawl space, removing harmful particles from the air. 

Next, we put an air scrubber in your home with the HVAC until turned off to purify the air in your home. Finally, we remove all raised fungus with an antimicrobial solution to complete the mold removal process.

What Benefits of Crawl Space Mold Remediation?

Eliminating mold from your crawl space dramatically improves your health by eliminating many negative respiratory issues associated with mold. This is especially important if you suffer from asthma or allergies.

Mold removal also increases the value of your home and maintains its structural integrity.

We needed to have our crawl space "updated" in order to feel good about handing over the home to a new owner after 38 years! The service prior to the sale was thorough, informative and substantiated the costs of each part of the process. When the crew arrived on-site they were prompt, held a consistent clean work area, did a very neat "top drawer" job! Most of all they respected all of our property which is very important when bringing in outside agents! We appreciate the ownership and the young men who completed the work.

We had an excellent experience with everyone who worked under our house. The initial inspection done by Mike revealed many things we didn't know, and the report was presented in a way I could understand. The drainage system was done first and fast, followed by a goodly amount of joist and sill repair, professionally done. The encapsulation was done by William and Josh, who did great work and made several trips to our house to make sure we were satisfied. It looks good under there. The new electric lights and switches will make future drain cleaning and pest inspections much easier than before.

Outstanding performance. Arrived on time and worked all day. Completed encapsulation on time. Price was competitive. John, Corey, Desmond, Adam, Trey and Patrick were very professional and maintained communications with me. Always knew the status of the project. Great crew all around. Highly recommend Dry Otter for the Denver Area encapsulation. Crawlspace is great.

Dry Otter has provided me with excellent, professional service since reaching out to them to upgrade my crawl space. Their competent service and technical expertise was always helpful. Also, their response to any questions or help was always met in a very timely manner. I want to call out specifically Adam, Trey, and Heather for all the assistance they provided. They went "above and beyond". I would recommend Dry Otter (and have numerous times) to anyone needing help with waterproofing services. Again, thank you Adam, Trey, and Heather...

Contacted dry otter for installing a dehumidifier and encapsulation, they promptly scheduled an estimate and were willing to work with me about what I could accommodate in terms of budget. The service was scheduled quickly (about 2 weeks). The crew, Will and Josh (under the Denver NC location), were very communicative and let me know of their arrival time and updates through the day. They were very professional, timely, and friendly. The work completed was very professional and well done. I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone looking for crawl space services!
