We’ve seen worse. Seriously.
Crawl Space Mold Removal in Spokane, WA
Nobody wants to belly-crawl under the house with a flashlight, so crawl space mold removal in Spokane, WA, is the job people put off longest. Our mold remediation crew crawls in with a light, a moisture meter and a camera, and the water under the house gets dealt with along with the mold.
Signs worth a look under the house
None of these means mold for certain. Each one is a good reason to have someone check.
- The plastic over the dirt is torn, bunched up or missing
- A drain line drips into the crawl space
- Snowmelt runs toward the foundation every spring
- The foundation vents are blocked or closed up
- A home inspection report mentions the crawl space
Why crawl spaces get moldy
Soil gives off moisture all year, and many crawl spaces have only a thin plastic sheet between the dirt and the floor joists. When anything else adds water, the wood above stays damp long enough for mold to grow. Air from under the house also drifts up into the rooms above, so a problem down there doesn’t always stay down there.
What we do down there
We bag debris before it leaves the crawl space, take out anything too far gone to keep, and treat the affected framing and subfloor. If the only access is inside the house, we lay down floor protection first. And yes, we vacuum on the way out.
Our treatment helps resist regrowth, and a dry crawl space is what makes that last. We fix the water source where we can. When it’s a gutter, grading or plumbing job, you get our photos to show whoever does it.
How big is it?
Hearing “mold” and “under the house” in the same sentence isn’t fun. What helps is knowing the size of it. You’ll see the photos, how much is there, what’s feeding it and what it will cost, and then you decide what happens next.
New houses get crawl space mold too
New homes in Airway Heights and Post Falls often go up fast. Framing gets rained on, subfloor sits wet, and the house is closed in before the wood has had a chance to dry. Sometimes the mold is growing before anyone has moved in.

Is crawl space mold a big job?
It depends on how much is there and what’s causing it. Once we’ve been under the house, you get a clear scope and a price before any work starts.
Will the work disturb the rest of the house?
Most of it happens under the house. We close off the work area and protect the path in and out, and we keep you posted on what we’re doing down there.
What about the torn plastic on the ground?
If the vapor barrier is torn, bunched up or missing, it’ll be in the photos, and we’ll talk through what replacing it involves.
