This is why crawl spaces shouldn’t be “out of sight, out of mind.”

These photos are from a recent crawl space inspection, and this is some of the heavier visible growth our team has come across recently.

When excess moisture sticks around, the wood beneath your home can become the perfect environment for mold and fungal growth. And because most homeowners rarely look in their crawl space, the problem can get pretty significant before anyone realizes it’s there.

Treating the growth is only part of the solution. We also want to figure out why the moisture problem is happening so it doesn’t just come right back.

Dog Gone Mold offers free crawl space inspections in our service area. Call us if you want us to take a look. 417-379-5120

Professional mold remediation involves much more than simply spraying or wiping away the visible mold. We need to carefully identify all of the visible as well as the hidden affected areas, safely clean or remove the contaminated materials, and address any moisture problems that allowed the mold to grow in the first place.

This is what happens when moisture problems go unchecked!

Mold growth can spread quickly when the right conditions are present. Finding and correcting the source of the moisture is just as important as addressing the mold itself.

As strange as it sounds, two homes can sit right next to each other and have completely different crawl space conditions. Differences in drainage, construction, plumbing, ventilation, previous improvements, and other moisture sources can all affect what is happening underneath your home and lead to crawl space mold.

Mold remediation is about more than just treating the mold.

These before-and-after photos show the difference a thorough crawl space remediation can make.

During our initial inspection, we found mold growth on the floor joists along with heavy dryer lint, cobwebs, and debris. When we returned for the final inspection, the difference was clear — the mold was addressed AND the crawl space was cleaned.

You can't just treat the mold and leave everything else behind.

Treat the mold. Clean the space. Do the job right.

When you’re buying a home, an invoice showing that all of the mold, crawl space, or waterproofing repairs were completed for the issues that were discovered during the inspection period doesn’t necessarily mean those underlying problems were fixed correctly. An independent mold reinspection from Dog Gone Mold before closing can help confirm the work was actually done properly before you take ownership of the home.

We provides independent mold reinspections for homebuyers and homeowners who want to verify that previous issues have been properly addressed.

Most homeowners never see this part of their HVAC system...

These photos show mold growth on the HVAC plenum located inside a crawl space.

When crawl spaces experience elevated humidity or moisture issues, it's not just the wood framing that's at risk. Metal HVAC components can collect condensation and debris, creating conditions where mold can begin to grow on accumulated dust and organic material.

That's one reason a crawl space inspection is so important. We don't just look at the floor joists—we inspect the entire area, including:
✔️ Floor joists and subflooring
✔️ Support beams
✔️ HVAC ductwork and plenums
✔️ Plumbing
✔️ Insulation
✔️ Moisture sources and humidity levels

Finding mold is only part of the process. Identifying why it's growing is what helps prevent it from coming back.

If you've noticed musty odors, high humidity, or suspect there's a problem beneath your home, let the team at Dog Gone Mold perform a thorough inspection and help you determine the best solution.

What's happening where you can't see matters just as much as what you can.

At first glance, this utility closet doesn't look too concerning. There's some evidence of a leak, but nothing that screams "major problem."

Then we inspected the crawl space below...

The leaking water had been soaking into the wood from underneath, leading to:
✔️ Extensive mold growth
✔️ Moisture damage to the framing
✔️ Wood deterioration that wasn't visible from inside the home

This is exactly why water leaks should never be ignored, even if they seem minor. A slow leak can quietly cause thousands of dollars in damage before anyone realizes what's happening.

If you've noticed signs of a plumbing leak, water stain, musty odor, or increased humidity, it's worth finding out what's happening behind the walls or beneath the floor before the damage gets worse.

Dog Gone Mold specializes in finding the source of moisture, assessing the damage, and providing the right solution to get your home healthy again.
