Crawlspaces are a great way to add extra living space to a home. However, they can also be a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and pests.
If your crawlspace is damp, it can also be a source of excess moisture in your home. Damp crawlspaces can also lead to mold and mildew growth in your home's foundation and basement, which can cause serious health concerns. At manning's pest control , we offer crawlspace moisture control services to help protect your home and family from these problems. We have over 50 years of experience helping customers keep their homes pest-free.

Our services start with a free evaluation to determine how severe the moisture issue is. During the evaluation, we look for moisture staining, damage to insulation, and what type of venting system your crawl space has. From there, we create a custom approach that will solve your home’s current moisture issues while preventing future problems from occurring. Our crawl space moisture control services include: crawl space encapsulation with heavy-duty moisture barriers. Sanitization to remove any bacteria, mold, and fungus that started growing. Dehumidifier installation to remove moisture from the air and wood. Insulation repair to fix ineffective moisture-laden insulation.
Mold Testing for Health Issues
It’s possible to scrub mold off of visible surfaces yourself, but it’s not usually a good idea.
Mold is not only a potential health risk, but it’s also difficult to treat in its entirety, especially because it can grow behind walls and in other hidden areas a diyer might miss. Since mold is a serious and often pervasive issue, you should hire a professional that will remove all of the mold—including any that might be hidden—run industrial air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and complete mold testing to ensure the underlying problem is solved.
Wendy mcnamee 11/26/2023 i had mold under my crawlspace and had several people come out and look at it. All said i needed to have it encapsulated and i got quotes from 3 people. One barely told me what was going to happen and one was about 3k less than elite was. But no one took the time to explain exactly what they were going to do, how they were going to do it and why they were doing it that way chris did. He was not only professional, but friendly, knew what he was talking about, and offered no pressure at all.
