As North Carolina’s vibrant capital, Raleigh is defined by its unique blend of culture and community, from the bustling modern developments of North Hills to the historic, tree-lined streets of Oakwood, Five Points, and Boylan Heights. While these diverse neighborhoods offer distinct charm, they all share a common challenge: the region’s humid subtropical climate, which can turn crawl spaces, basements, and attics into breeding grounds for mold.

This persistent humidity can lead to serious consequences, including the growth of mold that degrades indoor air quality, the slow decay of structural wood, and stubborn pest infestations. Protecting your Raleigh home requires an active solution, and our professional mold remediation service is specifically designed to create a clean, dry, and controlled environment, safeguarding your property’s value and your family’s health.

Mold Inspections

A persistent musty smell or unexplained allergy symptoms are clear warning signs that your home may have a hidden mold problem. In a climate like Raleigh’s, with its high summer humidity, mold can grow and spread quickly behind walls or in unseen spaces. Scheduling a professional mold inspection at the first sign of trouble is the most important step you can take to protect your property’s value and your family’s health. Contact the certified experts at Elite Moisture Solutions for a comprehensive evaluation.

Here is what our comprehensive mold inspection in Raleigh involves:

Detailed Visual Assessment: Our certified inspector conducts a thorough visual search throughout your property, from the attic to the crawl space, to identify any visible evidence of mold growth and the conditions causing it.
Moisture and Humidity Analysis: Using professional-grade moisture meters and hygrometers, we measure the moisture content in building materials and the ambient humidity levels to determine if an environment exists that can support mold.
Pinpointing the Moisture Source: We use advanced tools, including thermal imaging cameras, to find the root cause of the problem, whether it’s an active plumbing leak, a foundation issue, or a ventilation problem.
Scientific Lab Sampling: When necessary, we collect air and surface samples that are sent to an independent, third-party laboratory for analysis. This provides definitive data on the types and concentration of mold spores in your home.

This thorough, data-driven process provides you with a clear and accurate picture of your home’s health and a precise plan for any necessary remediation.

Crawl Space Mold Removal

Mold in your crawl space poses a direct threat to your home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality. Because spores can easily travel from the crawl space into your living areas, a professional and comprehensive removal process is essential to protect both your property and your family’s health.

Our meticulous process includes:

Assessment and Safe Removal: We begin with a full inspection and establish a sealed containment zone. Our certified technicians then safely remove all visible mold and any contaminated materials, such as old insulation.
HEPA Cleaning and Sanitization: All structural surfaces are thoroughly HEPA-vacuumed to capture microscopic spores, followed by an application of an EPA-registered antimicrobial agent to sanitize the wood.
Permanent Moisture Control: To prevent mold from returning, we address the root moisture source, often recommending a full crawl space encapsulation as the definitive long-term solution.

Home Interior Mold Remediation

Discovering mold inside your home’s living areas requires an immediate and professional response. Because interior mold poses a direct risk to your family’s air quality and can quickly spread through the HVAC system, a meticulous and contained remediation process is essential to protect both your property and your well-being.

Our process is designed to be safe, thorough, and effective:

Full Containment and Property Protection: We establish a fully sealed, negative-air pressure containment zone to completely isolate the work area. All furniture and personal belongings are carefully protected to ensure the rest of your home remains untouched.
Safe Removal and HEPA Filtration: Our certified technicians safely remove all contaminated materials, like drywall or carpeting, while industrial-grade HEPA air scrubbers run continuously to capture and eliminate airborne spores from the environment.
Final Sanitization and Restoration: After a thorough HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces, we apply an EPA-registered antimicrobial solution. Our goal is to restore the affected area to a clean, safe, and healthy condition for your family.

Mold Removal and Remediation: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between "mold removal" and "mold remediation"?

“Mold removal” is a basic term for cleaning what’s visible, which often fails to solve the underlying problem. Professional mold remediation is a comprehensive process that includes containing the affected area, using air filtration to remove spores, safely disposing of contaminated materials, and addressing the root moisture source to prevent regrowth.

Can I rely on a home mold testing kit from a hardware store?

We strongly advise against them. Store-bought kits can be easily contaminated and cannot distinguish between normal, everyday spore levels and a concentrated indoor mold problem. A professional inspection with scientific lab analysis is the only way to get accurate, reliable results.

Does mold in the crawl space always create a musty smell?

Not always. A musty odor is a very common sign of mold or mildew, but some mold species have very little scent, especially in their early stages. It’s possible for a significant mold issue to develop silently before an obvious smell is present.

How does crawl space mold affect my home’s structure?

Mold actively digests organic materials like wood, leading to decay and rot. Over time, this can weaken crucial structural components like your subfloor and floor joists. In a competitive real estate market like Raleigh’s, protecting your property from this kind of structural damage is vital for maintaining its long-term value.

Once the mold is removed, what prevents it from coming back?

The only way to guarantee mold does not return is to permanently eliminate its moisture source. A successful remediation always concludes with addressing the root cause, which is why the project is often paired with a definitive solution like a crawl space encapsulation or foundation repair.

Do I need to move out of my house during the mold remediation process?

For the vast majority of projects confined to a basement, attic, or crawl space, you can safely remain at home. Our full containment protocols are designed to completely isolate the work area, ensuring your family’s daily routine is not disturbed.

Is the black mold in my basement dangerous?

While certain species of “black mold” are known to produce mycotoxins, all visible mold growth, regardless of color, can release spores that negatively impact indoor air quality. It’s a potential health risk that should always be addressed by certified professionals to ensure it’s handled safely.

What are the most common causes of mold in a basement?

The primary cause is always uncontrolled moisture. For Raleigh homes, this can result from water intrusion after heavy thunderstorms, especially with poor yard drainage, but it can also be caused by chronic high humidity, plumbing leaks, or condensation on cool foundation walls.

				They came in and did what they said they would do. Had them install a new vapor barrier, clean up any mold, and replace my insulation. I looked super clean when finished. They even alerted me to my hot water heater leaking, which I replaced. They even suggested that I add some vent wells to keep water from getting. I was very pleased with their service. Would recommend them to anyone.

				Elite performed mold removal and crawlspace encapsulation. They were easy to work with and did a great job. The one negative in the experience was the unexpected cost of reinforcing some floor beams, which had water and mold damage that was not seen until they pulled out the insulation. Highly recommend this company!

				I originally reached out to EMS as a 3rd candidate for a quote to encapsulate my crawlspace. After speaking in detail with Robert, I found him and the entire team at EMS to be extremely helpful in better understanding what my options were and the price point was perfect for my budget. The team worked quickly, cleaning out old insulation, clearing out any mold that was present, and sealing an entire 2700sqft space in 4 days. I would highly recommend EMS for their responsive nature and professionalism. Overall, they are your best option in this area if you're looking for a great team to work with on your project.

				This company did a great job for me. They cleaned up the mold, removed old insulation, installed new insulation & dehumidifier and made my crawlspace to work efficiently to keep out the moisture and stay dry. I could not be more pleased! Plus every guy they sent out was polite and did good work to get my crawlspace up to snuff. Thanks guys!!

				After shopping around for mold removal companies to treat my crawlspace, I finally found Elite Moisture and I'm happy I did!  They were professional, timely, and reasonably priced.  One of the major differences between them and the competition is their methods.  While most other companies offered to spray the mold, elite treats and vacuums away the mold for complete removal of allergens.  They were very responsive and thorough.

				Our crawlspace was in desperate need of attention with standing water constantly collecting after heavy rainstorms. I called Elite for a quote and on the same day, Chris shows up and provides an estimate before he left my house! Based on his knowledge of mold remediation, sump pumps and french drains, and his incredible professionalism - we booked him for the job. His crew was on time every day, and gave a detailed description of what would be accomplished that day and they always came through. For anyone in Downtown Raleigh or the Raleigh area, I would highly recommend Elite Moisture Solutions!

				We have worked with soo many companies on our old farmhouse (1955), and this is the only company we have been 100% happy with so far. From Kaya, Chris, to Ben and crew, we have been happy with the work, and communication. We had mold remediation, then they also worked closely with our engineer for foundation repair. We are impressed with their above and beyond detailed work. Companies who worked on the house after them has commented how amazing a job they did.

				I moved into an old farmhouse that had some obvious mold issues in the crawl space. After their representative came out to assess the problem I made a few more calls for estimates. Even getting to schedule a different company to come out was a nightmare. Elite Moisture was a very smooth experience from estimate to getting the work done. What my point of contact was saying as far as how to treat the mold, made sense to me as someone that doesn't work in the field. Project was sectioned in two parts to ensure mold was obliterated before reinsulating. I had some other questions that office and field staff were very happy to help with. The product that was used to treat the mold has a 30 year warranty which was extremely appealing. Overall it was a great experience so far. I would definitely recommend them.
