Crawl Space Mold Remediation: Stopping Growth at the Source
Most people are not aware that a large amount of air they are breathing inside the home comes from or passes through the crawl space. There are thousands of strains of mold growing in North Carolina and Tennessee. At Crawl Space Brothers, we rarely go into a crawl space that does not have some form of growth. White, yellow, and brown wood-eating mold are the most common.
Fixing the crawl space mold issue requires two steps. First, killing the existing mold by spraying an anti-mold solution directly onto the colonies. Second, by hand cleaning all visible colonies from any surface in the crawl space, usually the floor joist and sub-floor. To treat the mold growth, we use an Earth-friendly agent, YCS Cleaner, that removes any mold, dirt, or other debris, while revitalizing and restoring the surface beneath.
All Crawl Space Brothers staff are personally experienced in identifying mold and fungal growth in crawl spaces, and know how to treat and clean it properly. Having your crawl space inspected for mold growth by a professional who has done it before is always a good idea. We are your crawl space mold removal and moisture remediation experts.

Crawl Space Mold Removal: Do You Need It?
Out of the thousands of crawl spaces in the Southeast that Crawl Space Brothers have inspected over the years, guess how many were mold-free? At best, 1 in 100! Nearly every home has some sort of mold, mildew, or fungal growth happening in the crawl space.
Mold is commonplace and usually not something to panic about, but there are varying degrees of severity. True crawl space mold remediation is generally required only when the mold is a 9 or 10 on a 1-10 scale. Crawl space mold remediation means hazmat suits, vacating the home, mold in the walls and drywall, and much more. Most crawl spaces can be fixed with a simple crawl space mold removal job instead — spraying the colonies and wiping them clean.
If you think there may be mold in your crawl space, it’s always smart to bring in a local crawl space mold removal professional for an inspection. Crawl Space Brothers does not offer full crawl space mold remediation and is not licensed to do so; however, we do offer great crawl space mold removal service that’s enough for almost every crawl space.
Stopping Crawl Space Mold From Returning
The number one thing homeowners think when they find mold in their crawl space: kill it! Crawl Space Brothers takes crawl space mold removal a step further: killing it, then making sure it doesn’t come back. The only way to do that is by creating an environment where mold and mildew can’t grow in the first place.
That means controlling relative humidity. Mold and mildew cannot grow when the relative air humidity in the crawl space generally stays at or below 50%. Homeowners invest in crawl space mold remediation, then wonder why it’s back in 6 months. The reason: no preventative measures were taken to keep the humidity low. Preventative measures consist of a dehumidifier and often an encapsulation. Avoid the cycle and get crawl space mold removal right the first time.
Average Cost for Crawl Space Mold Remediation
If your crawl space does need remediation, the average cost for crawl space mold remediation ranges from $500 for a small space up to around $5k for a larger one. If mold has infiltrated the walls and sub-floor, full remediation can run as much as $50k. Since most crawl space mold situations can be resolved by spraying and scrubbing the colonies instead of a full remediation, your crawl space mold removal cost usually lands on the lower side of that range. Getting the exact price and scope for your specific crawl space mold issue always starts with a professional assessment!
