Mold and Musty Odors in Your Crawl Space

How to Identify Mold and Musty Odors
Mold can quickly grow in places where there is high humidity. There are many different kinds of mold that typically appear as dirt or powdery patches on the walls, floor joists, or any other surface in your crawl space. When the mold starts to grow, it often gives off a musty smell that can also be an indicator of a moisture problem.
The stack effect allows any air inside your crawl space to push up through the floorboards and enter your home. If you notice any foul smells in your home and can’t identify the source, it could be coming from your crawl space. Our moisture services in Knoxville can handle moldy and musty crawl spaces.
Keep Your Crawl Space Dry & Healthy
There are temporary solutions to get rid of the mold and musty odors, but you must get rid of the moisture issues in order to permanently solve the problem. Mold cannot grow without moisture and humidity, which is why it’s important to waterproof your crawl space in Knoxville to remove moisture and odor and keep it completely dry and free from water damage.
