Mold on the Joists
As you can see, mold was growing on almost all the joists throughout the crawl space. The first thing we did was remove all the contaminated items in the crawl space and dispose of them. Afterward, we treated the entire crawl space with our EPA antimicrobial, MAPS 1.
What's MAPS?
MAPS stands for Mold Abatement Polymer Solutions and this solution attacks mold at its DNA and kills it immediately. Once that was completed, we applied our mold stain remover and scrubbed away all the mold stains. Next, we applied MAPS 2.
Whats Does MAPS 2 Do?
MAPS 2 is our patented sealant that encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it harmless, inert, and non-allergic. MAPS 2 is also moisture sensitive and will reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent any future mold growth. Lastly, to control the high humidity levels in the basement, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial grade dehumidifier. These dehumidifiers cost less to run than other dehumidifiers, cover over 3000 square feet, and are energy efficient.
