Crawl Space and Attic Mold Remediation in Charlotte, NC
Mold in a crawl space or attic is a moisture problem first. We remove the mold from the framing and fix the moisture that caused it, so it does not come back.
Mold Removal That Fixes the Cause
Mold needs moisture, and crawl spaces and attics are where Charlotte-area homes collect it. In crawl spaces it comes up from damp soil and in from humid outside air. In attics it usually follows a roof leak, bathroom fans venting into the attic or poor ventilation.
We remove mold from floor joists, subfloor, sill plates and roof sheathing, clean and treat the affected wood, and take out insulation that has been ruined. Then we deal with the moisture: a vapor barrier, waterproofing or encapsulation under the house, or a roof leak repair and better venting in the attic.
Treating mold without stopping the moisture only buys time. Because we do the crawl space, insulation and roofing work ourselves, the fix and the cause are handled together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is crawl space mold dangerous?
Mold can affect indoor air quality because air from the crawl space moves up into the house. People with allergies or asthma often notice it most. Any mold growth on framing is worth dealing with.
What causes mold in a crawl space?
Moisture. Damp soil, humid outside air coming in through foundation vents, plumbing leaks and poor drainage all raise crawl space humidity to the point where mold grows.
What causes mold in an attic?
Usually a roof leak, bathroom or dryer vents that exhaust into the attic, or poor ventilation that lets warm, moist air condense on the cold roof deck.
Will mold come back after remediation?
Not if the moisture is fixed. That is why we pair remediation with drainage, a vapor barrier, encapsulation or roof repair depending on the cause.
Do I need to fix mold before encapsulating my crawl space?
Yes. Active mold on the framing should be removed and treated before the crawl space is sealed.
Do you handle mold in basements?
Yes, along with crawl spaces and attics across the Charlotte metro.
