Best Part About It

MAPS 2 is a moisture-sensitive application that encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it harmless, inert, and non-allergenic. One of the best features of MAPS 2 is that it will reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent future mold growth.

High Humidity

To address the high humidity levels in the crawl space, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial grade dehumidifier.

Installed New Dehumidifier

These dehumidifiers cost less to run than other dehumidifiers, cover over 3000 square feet, are energy efficient, and will properly control the humidity levels in the crawl space.

As long as there is no loss of structural integrity of any building materials (which is usually water damage from flooding, burst pipe, or water leak into the home) the building materials are left alone.
