  • What are the signs I need professional mold remediation in my home?

    If you notice a persistent musty smell, visible mold growth, signs of water damage, or allergy-like symptoms that won’t go away, it may be time to contact North Georgia Crawlspace. Our certified mold remediation team serves North Georgia and beyond with fast, safe, and effective solutions.

  • Can I clean mold myself?

    Light surface mold can sometimes be wiped, but DIY methods often miss what’s deeper in the wood. Improper cleaning can actually make it worse by spreading spores.

  • How does crawlspace encapsulation prevent mold growth?

    Crawlspace encapsulation seals out moisture by installing vapor barriers, insulation, and dehumidifiers. This creates a dry, controlled environment under your home, significantly reducing the chance of mold, pests, and poor indoor air quality

  • Do I still need basement waterproofing if I have a sump pump?

    Yes. While sump pumps are useful, waterproofing services like French drains and moisture barriers provide a more comprehensive defense against water intrusion. At North Georgia Crawlspace, we customize waterproofing solutions to protect your crawlspace or basement fully.

  • How long does mold remediation take?

    Most mold remediation projects take between 1 to 2 days, depending on the extent of the contamination and the size of the affected area. Larger projects involving soda blasting or full drying systems may take longer. Our mold removal experts work efficiently to restore a safe environment in your home.

  • Are your mold removal methods safe for kids and pets?

    Absolutely. At North Georgia Crawlspace, all treatments are non-toxic once dried and safe for use in residential environments. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure your home remains safe during and after the mold remediation process.

  • Why does mold grow in crawlspaces and basements?

    Mold thrives in damp, dark environments. Crawlspaces and basements are especially vulnerable due to high humidity, poor ventilation, plumbing leaks, or inadequate drainage. Our team offers effective moisture control to stop mold before it starts.

  • Will the mold come back?

    Not if we fix the moisture problem. We always recommend pairing remediation with a vapor barrier or dehumidifier to prevent recurrence.

  • Do I really need a dehumidifier?

    Yes. Sealing a crawlspace without controlling humidity can lead to trapped moisture and future issues. Every system we install includes an AprilAire dehumidifier.

  • Will this help lower my energy bills?

    Yes. Encapsulation can reduce HVAC workload, eliminate cold drafts, and improve indoor air quality.

  • Can you install drainage systems too?

    Absolutely. We offer French drain systems, sump pumps, and full waterproofing as part of our crawlspace solution

  • What is a French drain and how does it improve waterproofing?

    A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your home’s foundation. It’s an essential waterproofing method we use to prevent crawlspace flooding and protect your property from water damage.

  • Can you remove toxic black mold from my crawlspace?

    Yes. Our certified professionals specialize in black mold removal and offer thorough crawlspace cleaning, remediation, and moisture prevention. We ensure your crawlspace is restored to a clean and safe condition.
