Foundations for homes in Virginia Beach, VA are vital for your family’s safety and well–being. Sagging floors can result from falling floor joists underneath your house in the crawl space. This happens because of open space vents or doors, humidity, and excessive moisture causing wet wood and rotting.
Mold could be growing under your Virginia Beach, VA home in your crawl space, which eventually, if left unattended, could lead to excessive damage. Crawl space mold removal would be necessary, along with taking care of the issues causing the moisture.
Mold removal is pointless unless you fix the moisture problems; otherwise, the mold will keep returning, again and again, causing more damage to your foundation at your Virginia Beach, VA home.
