Mold in crawl space can wreak havoc on your family’s health and home and compromise indoor air quality. In a short period, it can spread throughout your entire house. At LUX, we have crawl space mold removal to eliminate mold growth and bring back fresh, healthy air in your home.
What Is Crawl Space Mold Removal?

LUX crawl space mold removal involves identifying, thoroughly cleaning, treating, and removing mold growth in your home’s crawl space, along with measures to prevent future growth.
Â
Mold growth in the crawl space is a common issue many homeowners face. It thrives when there’s moisture or high humidity in the crawl space, providing the perfect breeding ground. Despite being out of sight, mildew spores can quickly spread to other areas of the house, when prolonged exposure can cause allergic reactions and health problems. It can also affect the structure of your home, decrease home value, and lead to costly repairs in the long run if left untreated.
Â
The removal process is essential to maintain a healthy indoor environment and prevent structural damage to your home. Remember, mold in crawl space is not just a property issue—it’s a health issue, too.
Causes of Mold in Crawl Space
Various factors can prompt the growth of mold in crawl space. Understanding these causes can help you take preventative measures and maintain a healthier, safer home environment.
- Poor Ventilation: A poorly ventilated crawlspace will have stagnant air that contributes to the fungal growth.
- High Humidity Levels: Mold thrives in humid conditions. If your crawlspace lacks proper humidity controls, it will attract mildew.
- Water Leaks: Water leakage from plumbing lines or groundwater seepage can increase moisture in the crawlspace, encouraging mold and mildew growth.
- Presence of Organic Material: Organic materials such as wood or cardboard in your crawlspace can serve as a food source for mold.
Ignoring these causes can mean recurrent fungal problems. Let’s address the issue in its early stages.
