WQB Mold Removal built specific expertise in Salem's older pier-and-beam and pre-1980s crawl space construction, which behaves differently than modern slab foundations.
This service handles some of the most commonly misdiagnosed Salem mold problems, since crawl space issues often surface as a mystery smell somewhere else in the house.
Four reasons Salem property owners trust us with this specific job.
Newer encapsulation methods sometimes need adapting for older foundation types. We won't apply a modern slab-home fix to a Salem, OR property that needs a different approach. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Salem 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.
A properly sealed vapor barrier addresses what's usually the real Salem, OR source. Skipping this step is why so many prior treatments don't hold. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Salem records.
Some Salem clients set up a monitoring plan after treatment, especially in chronically humid older homes. We'll recommend monitoring only where your specific situation warrants it. Our equipment is rated for the tight clearance older construction demands.
