Elite Moisture Solutions was called to this inspection because the homeowners were concerned about elevated moisture levels and mold growth in the crawlspace. During the inspection, our specialist identified evidence of surface mold growth on the floor joists and girders. The inspector took humidity samples throughout the crawl space and found levels ranging between 60-62% which is elevated when comparable to the exterior relative humidity sample of 30%. The insulation was found in average condition and showed signs of moisture damage and deterioration. An incomplete vapor barrier was found in this crawl space as well. Based on the inspector’s recommendation, the crawlspace was treated for mold, a new high-quality vapor barrier was installed, and the sump pump was replaced. After the work was complete the inspector performed a post mold removal inspection to guarantee the work was done properly!
