Every crawl space is different. Every scope is written after we've been in yours.
Assessment
🔍MC% Assessment & Contamination Mapping
MC readings at 10–12 ft intervals across the crawl space. Visible growth mapped and photographed. Written assessment with findings before scope proposal.
Removal
🔨HEPA Removal & Wire-Brush Treatment
HEPA vacuum and wire brush on all contaminated surfaces. Spore material captured during removal — not disturbed into the crawl space airspace.
Treatment
🌳Penetrating Borate Application
Borate application after HEPA removal on all accessible surfaces. Penetrating formulation diffuses into wood fiber, not just surface coat. Active for years in treated wood.
Structure
🔨Sistering Structurally Compromised Joists
Joists with advanced fungal digestion — evidenced by delamination of sheathing, spongy or punky texture, or through-penetration of decay fungi — lose structural capacity and need sistering with pressure-treated lumber rather than treatment. We assess each joist individually and document replacement recommendations in the written scope.
Barrier
💧Vapor Barrier Repair or Replacement
Reinforced poly, correctly lapped, footing-secured. Proper vapor barrier installation is the #1 long-term prevention tool for crawl space mold in Huntly, VA properties.
Systems
🏔Encapsulation vs. Vented Conditioning Assessment
Full crawl space encapsulation (sealed vapor barrier, insulated perimeter walls, conditioned air supply) is the right answer for some Huntly, VA crawl spaces — particularly those with high water table, poor drainage, or chronic moisture loads that vented conditioning can't manage. We assess your specific conditions and recommend objectively, not by default toward the more expensive option.
