What sets our Crawl Space Mold Removal crew apart in Southborough.
Newer encapsulation methods sometimes need adapting for older foundation types. We won't apply a modern slab-home fix to a Southborough, MA property that needs a different approach. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Southborough records.
Some older crawl spaces run under 18 inches, and we're equipped for exactly that. No job gets turned away just because the clearance is tight. Our equipment is rated for the tight clearance older construction demands.
We treat the ground moisture and drainage issue alongside the visible mold, not instead of it. Skipping this step is why so many prior treatments don't hold. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Southborough records.
