High Street – Alexandria
TN -
Home Inspector found
mold in the crawl space there are low spots around the foundation that need to
be filled to shed water away from the foundation. There is also a water heater in the crawlspace that had a small leak on a solder joint that was spraying up onto the floor system and a large amount of microbial growth was found in this area. Spray treatment of all joists, gurters, decking and
bands repeatedly drying between applications has successfully removed all
contamination. No damage to any wooden
members under this home was found during this process. AMS installed a 6mil vapor barrier in the
crawl space based on standard construction procedures.
NOTE: No testing is normally done in a crawlspace,
it is usually a visual and AMS recommends having the original home inspector to
re-inspect for final. Crawlspaces,
attics and garages are considered outside space and since they have outside air
flow to eliminate heat and humidity, testing is futile and expensive.
