Crawl space in Bridgeville, DE

To have a dirty crawl space is one thing. To have mold on the joist beams is a whole different story.

As shown in the photo below, moisture, meaning water, and humid air had made its way into the crawl space, forming microbial growth (mold) and a lot of mud on the ground. As you can see, the white and green substance on the joist beam is the microbial growth, which many know it as mold. The mold had formed with the help of the following three things:

1. Mold Spores, which you already have forming in any crawl space. You can’t get rid of that.

2. Organic Food. The wood was once a living organism, meaning a once living tree.  

3. Moisture. The rain or humid air helped the three combined, which in return, formed the mold.
