Before & After
A homeowner in Knoxville, Tennessee began noticing a musty odor inside their home that was originating from the crawl space. As the smell became stronger over time, it became a growing concern, especially since the homeowner was preparing to put the property on the market. Musty odors can be a warning sign of crawl space mold growth, which can negatively impact indoor air quality and discourage potential homebuyers. Left untreated, excess moisture and mold can also contribute to wood deterioration and structural damage to floor joists and other wooden components beneath the home. After a thorough inspection, the team at Master Foundation & Crawl Space Repair recommended professional mold remediation using soda blasting. This environmentally responsible process removes mold from wood surfaces without the use of harsh chemicals and can be performed while homeowners remain in the home. Once the mold was removed, our team installed a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to help control crawl space humidity and reduce the conditions that allow mold growth to return. With the crawl space restored and protected against excess moisture, the home is now better positioned for sale and the homeowner can move forward with confidence.
