Crawl Space Mold Removal and Mold Solutions
There are several reasons to contact a mold removal specialist if you discover a musty or mildew odor in your Hampton Roads crawl space. You could have black mold starting to grow in your crawl space, a known health hazard for anyone breathing the air in this space. Bleach only takes care of some mold, and professional mold solutions products & specialized equipment must be used to clean mold thoroughly. If you have mold in your floor joists or subflooring, mold issues must be addressed.
Mold solutions require identifying the mold’s location and determining the best approach for remediation. When you try to care for mold yourself, you cannot access the same techniques professionals use.
Is Mold in Your Crawl Space Dangerous?
Mold in your crawl space is often dangerous, leading to poor indoor air quality and damage to your property. You might have black mold, Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, or other basement and crawl space mold types. Mold can cause health problems, especially for those who struggle with respiratory issues such as asthma already. Mold can damage floor joists, beams, subfloor, and any other structure within your home. If mold continues to grow, you can have structural damage on the property that requires significant repair. Crawl space encapsulation will protect your crawl space foundation from a mold infestation if you have problems with a damp crawl space.
What Are Some Signs of Mold Growth in a Crawl Space?
Without routine inspections of your crawl space, you must rely on signs of mold growth in your home.
Smell of Mold
You might smell a musty odor in your home or near the crawl space.
Visible Mold Growth
Visible mold growth can appear in air ducts and on walls, ceilings, flooring, floor joists, beams, or the subfloor. Poor-quality indoor air can cause respiratory issues for people within the home. When anyone in your home has health issues with no identified cause, mold growth might be the issue.
It isn’t always easy to inspect for mold growth in a crawl space due to the tight space. When you don’t want to crawl under your house only to discover that you can’t see into the crawl space, it’s time to hire a professional to do the work. Even if you can reach your crawl space, it is unlikely that you will be able to determine if there is a mold problem.
How to Remove Mold in a Crawl Space
Some homeowners try using bleach and other cleaners to remove mold in a crawl space. This is only partially effective. It is impossible to uncover all the mold that could be present using typical cleaning methods. This is a difficult job that someone shouldn’t do with no experience with crawl space mold removal or remediation.
Removing mold as a DIY project is not a good idea. When you don’t hire a professional for crawl space mold and try to do it yourself, you risk leaving behind mold spores that will grow again. A professional mold solutions specialist ensures the remediation of mold and prevents future mold growth. Crawl space moisture control is vital to long-term mold solutions. Mold removal costs will depend on the extent of the mold, the size of the space to be remediated, and the level of remediation that needs to be done.
BAY Crawl Space & Foundation Repair’s ‘Mold Removal Service’ utilizes pressurized spray equipment to physically remove most existing mold and specialized mixtures of chemicals to kill the rest. Our BoraCare mold solution also provides long-term protection against mold, decay fungi, dry wood termites, and general pests such as ants and cockroaches.
Why Choose A Professional Crawl Space Mold Specialist
Professional mold solutions services understand what it takes to eliminate mold throughout your home or building. Specialized cleaning techniques ensure that the mold is physically removed. If the conditions are right, any spores left behind will produce future mold growth. It only takes moisture for mold to flourish when spores are present. With the proper training and tools, obliterating mold spores from your space is possible. Any structural damage should be taken care of during your remediation services.
You need the support of professionals to take care of mold solutions for you. If you find spots of mold anywhere in your crawl space, contact BAY Crawl Space to get the help you need to remediate the mold safely. If you try to clean the space yourself, you may expose yourself to potentially dangerous mold for no reason. Without the right protective gear, you are putting yourself at risk when you try to clean up mold on your own.
BAY’s ‘Mold Solutions Service’ includes mold removal, prevention, and the killing of existing mold. We have solutions to control crawl space moisture, kill mold, and prevent it from coming back.
Our Crawl Space Mold Services
BAY Crawl Space & Foundation Repair provides BoraCare mold solutions treatments, mold prevention, and mold removal services from start to finish. We can get the job done no matter where you are in the mold solutions process. We offer inspections of your crawl space to look for mold. Accessing the crawl space is often complicated, and our professionals understand what they are searching for when it comes to mold in your home. From the dirt and debris that could be found in the crawl space to any animals that may make your space home, know that it is generally better for everyone involved if you let a professional inspect your crawl space for you.
A dehumidifier removes moisture from your space, drying out the area and preventing moisture from causing new mold to grow. Once a dehumidifier has been in use in the basement, crawl space, or home, odors should significantly decrease or disappear. Removing moisture helps prevent mold from growing in the first place. Cleaning the mold with specialized cleaners, using specialty spray equipment, and eliminating the moisture is the only way to permanently stop mold from growing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is mold in my crawl space a problem?
Mold in your crawl space can be dangerous, lowering indoor air quality and posing risks to anyone with respiratory issues, such as asthma. It can also damage structural wood elements like floor joists, beams, and subfloors, leading to costly repairs if not promptly addressed.
What are signs of mold growth in a crawl space?
Common signs include:
- A persistent musty or mildew odor in the home or near the crawl space
- Visible mold growth on wood, beams, joists, or subfloor
- Poor indoor air quality or unexplained health issues in residents
- Excess moisture or water stains in the crawl space.
How does professional mold removal differ from DIY methods?
DIY cleaning with bleach or household cleaners is often only partially effective and may leave mold spores behind. BAY uses specialized equipment and formulations—such as pressurized spray systems and BoraCare treatment—to physically remove and kill mold, plus professional dehumidification to ensure long-lasting protection and prevent regrowth.
What is the mold removal process at BAY Crawl Space?
- Inspection and identification of mold locations
- Physical removal using pressurized spray equipment

- Thorough cleaning to prevent future growth
- Installation of dehumidifiers or moisture barriers as needed for long-term protection.
How important is moisture control for long-term mold solutions?
Moisture control is critical for preventing mold from returning. BAY provides solutions like crawl space encapsulation, vapor barriers, and dehumidifiers to keep moisture and humidity levels below the threshold for mold growth.
Can I safely remove crawl space mold myself?
Professional removal is highly recommended. Crawl spaces can be tight, dangerous, and require specialized equipment and protective gear. DIY removal risks personal exposure and may not fully resolve the problem. Professionals ensure thorough remediation and reduce future health risks.
What products are used for mold prevention?
BAY uses BoraCare with Mold-Care, which kills existing mold and provides a barrier against future mold, decay fungi, termites, and general pests like ants and cockroaches.

“I’m not one to take home repairs lightly so I try and do my research. I got over 4 estimates to have my crawl space encapsulated and some repair work done. BAY beat the others prices by over 10k. Oh and they actually did more work that what the others quoted us to do. They also do quality work. So value for money, BAY is the company to go with.”
– Benjamin Alexander -
“I had an independent civil engineer out to inspect prior to the BAY visit. I was afraid I might be oversold on repairs I didn’t need. This was not the case. BAY made the same observations and gave same explanations or better. Great job BAY on hiring honest and competent assessors. Very professional, will work with you again!”
– Zachary Frey -
