Moisture from Dirt Floor Crawl Space Causes Mold in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

After realizing he had a tremendous amount of mold growth in his crawl space, this homeowner in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ called our office. When we inspected, we couldn't find an area that didn't have mold on it. The conducive condition was the high moisture levels due to the dirt floor.

Crawl spaces that have dirt floors are a huge source of moisture as underground water and moisture-laden air can get in them and cause mold. 

For treatment, we treated every square inch of the crawl space with our EPA-registered antimicrobial solution called Mold Abatement Polymer Solution 1, or MAPS 1. This product attacks mold on a cellular level and kills it instantly. We then used our mold stain remover, scrubbed away all the excess mold staining throughout the joists, and then applied our patented sealant MAPS 2. This application encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it harmless and non-allergenic. MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and will reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent future mold growth.

We spoke to the homeowner about encapsulating his crawl space to prevent future mold issues. He agreed it would be the best course of action and called our office to make an appointment!
