In America, 2/3 homes have highly elevated levels of mold spores inside of their crawl space or basement… did you know that?
The mold from a crawl space can infect your living areas through small drafts and HVAC systems that blow spores throughout the interior of your Apex home. By leaving it untreated, this mold can cause disastrous health effects to you and your family. Read on about mold removal and remediation in Apex!
Where does this smell in my Crawl Space come from?
According to The Environmental Protection Agency, 65% of the air your family breathes on the first floor of the home travels from the crawl space and basement. As your HVAC system runs, mold spores, dust mites, and other toxic pollutants are drawn into the interior of the home through the wall and floor penetration. The commonly called “Stack Effect” or “Chimney Effect” is to blame.
To simplify terms…The crawl space or basement is the origin of the bad, unhealthy air inside of your living area. When you warm and cool the inside temperature of your home, you are also inadvertently pulling in the pollutants growing inside the crawl space or basement. The odor is often the best indicator of poor air, but many contaminants are odorless.
The Moldy Truth
The air we breathe everywhere has mold spores and seeds of mold, and at acceptable levels, they do not pose a threat to most of us. When the heat and humidity start to rise in late spring in Apex, mold spores start to wake up from hibernation and then start to breed and feed. We cannot control the temperature and humidity fluctuation in nature, but we can control what happens inside our house!

But, wait!
If you don’t repair the source of the growing mold, it makes no sense to remove it!
If we were to remove all of the molds in the crawl space or basement but did not seal off all of the sources of the heat and humidity, the mold issue starts back the minute we stop cleaning. To obtain a healthy crawl space, your space must be encapsulated and have a waterproof basement to control the environment inside that area. So much money is wasted on cleaning the mold when the real origin of the problem is ignored.
