Crawl Space Mold Remediation Near Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Roseburg

When you have mold in your crawl space, you are in danger of letting the spores spread throughout your home. Much of the air you breathe on the first floor of your home comes from the crawl space. And the wet, dark environment down there provides a prime breeding ground for mold.

At Josh Lowe’s Dr. Energy Saver, we can remove the mold growing in your crawl space with remediation treatments. By using effective insulation, waterproofing, encapsulation, & ventilation measures, we can also dry the moisture that enters your crawl space — from rain, plumbing leaks or drain pan overflows by your HVAC system — and prevent the growth of mold.
