Causes of Crawl Space Mold
Expansive Soils
This type of soil contains minerals like smectite clays, which absorb a lot of moisture. As the expansive soil soaks up water it expands – up to 15 times its dry volume. Furthermore, the expanded soil then pushes against your foundation and creates cracks or waterproofing problems.
In fact, as the expansive soil dries, it shrinks. The soil shrinkage gives your foundation room to move around. Consequently, this extra room removes the support from your foundation and will cause cracks, settling, and other foundation damage. The pressure of expansive soils against your foundation can exceed 30,000 pounds per square foot.
Deep Foundations
These types of foundations require solutions which address problems like settlement or stair-step cracked bricks. For example, if your home has cracked bricks caused by settlement, push piers or resistance piles may be installed. The piers are installed beneath your home’s foundation footing and then driven into bedrock or stable soil.
The piers are installed into stable soil or bedrock because it prevents further settlement and movement. Furthermore, the resistance provided by the stable soil can even help lift your home back to its original level.
Deep Foundation Soils
Deep foundation soils and deep foundation systems are best understood by starting with the ground. Soil is made up of obvious layers which have different qualities and are a good indicator of how deep you need to extend your foundation.
The top layers of soil compress and easily compact – this is where settlement occurs and where you’ll find problem soils like expansive clay. The deeper soil layers, like parent rock, are stable and less likely to move. This is why a deep foundation pier system is installed into competent load bearing soils or bedrock.
Increases Your Home’s Value
Ensuring your home is mold-free can significantly increase its market value when renting or selling. Potential buyers typically require a home inspection, and mold infestation can deter them from making a purchase. Hiring experts for mold removal is essential to attract potential buyers and maximize income from renting or selling the property.
Reduces the Spread
Effective treatment ensures that mold does not spread to other areas of the house. For example, if mold spores are present in the basement, experts will address them before they can migrate to the HVAC system. Remediation involves identifying the root cause of the fungi or bacteria and implementing measures to halt its growth and spread.
Healthy Environment
Mold spores act as allergens, exacerbating allergies, asthma, and respiratory illnesses. Removal of mold by a water damage company eliminates these toxins, resulting in improved indoor air quality in your home or office, providing you with fresh, clean air.
