Crawlspaces are a very frequent place of high humidity and a common place for mold growth. Moisture or Vapor barriers reduce the amount of moisture being released from the ground and works to reduce the likelihood of mold growth.

While we work to stay warm in our homes during cold winters, our attics should stay cool. Air gaps between the attic and living area will lead to an increase in moisture and condensation buildup. Both are highly contributive to mold growth. We do attic inspections to ensure that your attic is completely sealed off from all potential air leak sources.

Condensation buildup, especially in areas of the home that are not frequented often is commonly found to cause mold growth. Proper insulation works in conjunction with ventilation to prevent warm/cool temperature exchanges and prevent moisture buildup. We frequently find insulation missing in both attics and crawlspaces.
