Mold Under Your Floors

This Crawlspace was covered in Mold until SERVPRO was able to address the situation.

In Kentucky many homes have crawlspaces and basements.  These homes are scattered throughout our neighborhoods and subdivisions, which provide a great place to store Seasonal belongings.  Unfortunately these spaces also create the perfect conditions for mold growth.  Due to the cooler temperatures in these spaces,  warm air that comes in from the outside often cools quickly, causing condensation to cover many of the organic materials in these places.  The combination of moisture and rising temps,  allows mold spores to spread and multiply rapidly.  How does this affect the home owner?  Airflow in a home moves from bottom to top meaning much of the air you breath comes from what is directly under you.  Which means if you have mold in your crawlspace or basement, it is likely affecting the air quality in the living space in your home.  If you have this issue at your home at SERVPRO we can help!!!
