Mold remediation in Evansville, IN

Crawlspaces in a humid climate

Long, humid summers are hard on crawlspaces. Warm outdoor air flows in through foundation vents and meets cool soil and ductwork, and the moisture condenses on joists, insulation and anything stored there. Over a few seasons that’s enough for mold to spread across the underside of the floor, and the smell rises into the house through gaps around pipes and ducts. Stored items such as holiday decorations, cardboard boxes and old furniture often need to be sorted, cleaned or discarded as part of the work.

We inspect the crawlspace directly, take moisture readings on the framing and sample the air in the living space. If the crawlspace is the source, removal comes first and moisture control second. Our answer on whether crawlspace encapsulation is worth it in Indiana helps you weigh that second step.

Air conditioning and condensation

In homes where the air conditioner runs most of the summer, we often trace mold to the HVAC system itself: a drain pan that doesn’t empty, a coil that stays wet, or uninsulated ducts sweating in a crawlspace or attic. That growth is spread through the house every time the system runs. Our HVAC mold in Indiana page describes how we clean air handlers and ducts.

Holding indoor humidity in a reasonable range makes a large difference. Our guide on how humid an Indiana home should be gives practical targets for summer and winter.

Mycotoxins and sensitive households

Families with health concerns often ask whether remediation will leave the house fit for them to live in. We test settled dust for mycotoxins before and after the work, so the lab results, not a visual check, decide when the job is done.

We can schedule the dustiest parts of the project for times when a sensitive family member is able to be elsewhere, and if you’d like, we send the before and after results to your doctor so everyone is working from the same data.

We remove mold and mycotoxins from buildings. We don’t diagnose or treat medical conditions.
