Denise and Ben C. of Hawkinsville, GA had water in their crawl space. Both Denise and Ben were concerned about mold under the home, especially since Denise had health issues. There were signs of mold in the kitchen. Denise and Ben asked their neighbors about it and they suggested to call Lowcountry Foundation Repair for a free inspection.
The inspector noted standing water on the floor. Using a hydrometer the relative humidity was measured and recorded at 86 percent. Microbial growth was evident on joists and wet insulation rested against the wooden subfloor. A Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed to seal the crawl space from the earth to reduce moisture and humidity. After a few days, the Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System created a hostile environment for mold to grow. The owners were thrilled, the problem was fixed!
