From initial MC% assessment through borate treatment and vapor barrier replacement to post-remediation clearance — the full below-grade mold scope in one place.
Assessment
🔍MC% Assessment & Contamination Mapping
MC readings at 10–12 ft intervals across the crawl space. Visible growth mapped and photographed. Written assessment with findings before scope proposal.
Removal
🔨HEPA Removal & Wire-Brush Treatment
HEPA vacuum and wire brush on all contaminated surfaces. Spore material captured during removal — not disturbed into the crawl space airspace.
Treatment
🌳Penetrating Borate Application
Borate application after HEPA removal on all accessible surfaces. Penetrating formulation diffuses into wood fiber, not just surface coat. Active for years in treated wood.
Structure
🔨Sistering Structurally Compromised Joists
Individual joist assessment for structural integrity. MC readings plus physical assessment of deterioration. Sister framing specified where structural capacity is compromised — documented in written scope.
Barrier
💧Vapor Barrier Repair or Replacement
Reinforced poly, correctly lapped, footing-secured. Proper vapor barrier installation is the #1 long-term prevention tool for crawl space mold in Deerfield Beach, FL properties.
Systems
🏔Encapsulation vs. Vented Conditioning Assessment
Encapsulation isn't always the right answer. We assess your Deerfield Beach, FL crawl space's specific moisture load, drainage, and soil conditions and recommend encapsulation or enhanced vented conditioning based on what will actually work — not on which option has a higher margin.
