Mold & Mildew Solutions Troubleshoots  Smelly Crawl Space's

6/12/2017

0 Comments

 
Mold & Mildew Solutions are the experts in Birmingham, AL for cleaning, fixing and preventing smelly crawlsaces'. Some crawl spaces are more difficult than others and some have been a problem for a long time. We follow steps to fixing a crawl space where a musty smell may occur. 
Here is a list of our top things to check & to do for each crawl space:

  1. Check liner for openings and make sure the liner is properly taped and caulked around the perimeter.
  2. Make sure that you have completely sealed out all outside air from entering the crawl space.
  3. Make sure all vents are covered and crawl space door is plastic and airtight.
  4. Dehumidify the space with adequate dehumidification – try a carbon-activated filter.
  5. Make sure that there are no dryer vents or other air entering the crawl space.
  6. Check for rodent droppings and other signs of pests.
 
If odors persist, here are more extreme measures to take to try to eliminate them:

  1. If ductwork is un-insulated, make sure all joints are sealed.
  2. Make sure that you removed all fiberglass insulation from the flooring system.
  3. Treat wood with a mold preventitive.
  4. Install a radon fan and pull air from under the liner to the outside.
  5. If mold is present, have the homeowner remove the mold with a mold remediator.
