Wood Moisture and Mold
There was white mold growth in some areas of the crawl space. The wood moisture reading was 29 percent on the moldy wood, an extremely high reading - which would explain the mold.
Relative Humidity
The air in the crawl space measured at 82 percent humidity, a high reading. This crawl space really needed to be sealed off from moisture.
Microbial Growth
When moisture collects in the crawl space, it feeds mold, allowing it to spread.
General Crawl Space area
Here is what the general area of the crawl space looked like before encapsulation.
Sump Pump in Basin
Here is a view inside the basin showing one of the sump pumps that we use.
Encapsulated Crawl Space
This is what the crawl space looked like after our team installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System.
