We Treat Your Home Like Our Own
Unfortunately, your basement or crawl space is a perfect environment for biological growth. It’s dark, damp, and often has limited airflow or ventilation. In many Virginia Beach homes, moisture issues can be made worse by storm surge, flooding events, poor exterior drainage, or prolonged exposure to groundwater. Mold growth may be obvious, marked by dark or white patches visible on your walls, floors, or ceilings, or it may be hidden behind walls or under carpets.
Even if you can’t see it, you can usually identify it by a musty smell. If left untreated, mold, mildew, bacteria, and other biological growths can lead to significant health problems for you and your family. If you suspect biological growth in your Virginia Beach home, it’s important to act quickly before the issue spreads or causes further damage.
Mold can impact almost all surfaces commonly found in your basement or crawl space, including drywall, wood framing, HVAC components, pipes, drains, and other finishes, especially in homes with ongoing moisture or drainage issues common throughout the Hampton Roads area.
Drywall and insulation are especially susceptible to mold growth after a major water incident. Wood framing, flooring, and furniture are also at risk of basement mold. If you do not properly treat and remove mold from your home’s framing or flooring, you may face a serious and expensive problem later.
Basements may flood from natural weather incidents or unexpected leaks, and carpeting is very difficult to properly dry. When you’ve experienced a flood or other water-related incident, mold and mildew can grow even after you’ve drained and dried up all the water.
