How Can I Tell if There’s Mold in My Crawl Space?
One of the first signs of mold is a strong, musty odor that lingers throughout your home. You may also notice visible spots or stains on wood and other surfaces—these can appear black, green, or even white, and sometimes look fuzzy or damp. Because mold thrives in damp environments, crawl spaces in our area are especially vulnerable.
If you suspect mold, it’s important to schedule a professional inspection. Mold doesn’t just create unpleasant smells—it can also affect your health and damage your home’s structure. Our team is trained to identify mold safely and provide the right solutions to remove it and protect your crawl space for the long term.
How Do I Know if My Crawl Space Has Moisture Problems?
Some of the most common warning signs include damp or muddy soil, condensation forming on pipes, or wooden floors inside your home beginning to warp or buckle. You may also notice the air in your home feels unusually humid or heavy. In many cases, excess moisture can even attract pests like termites and other insects that thrive in damp conditions.
Catching these issues early is key to avoiding costly problems such as wood rot or structural damage. That’s why we provide free crawl space moisture inspections—to pinpoint the source of the problem and recommend a long-term solution that keeps your home safe and dry.

What is a French Drain
A French drain is a trench filled with gravel that contains a pipe with small openings designed to capture and redirect water away from your home’s foundation. This system plays an important role in protecting homes that deal with frequent flooding or water pooling around the foundation. By channeling both surface water and groundwater away from the crawl space, a French drain helps relieve pressure on foundation walls and prevents unwanted moisture from seeping inside.
