Flooded Crawl Space With Groundwater Intrusion and Sagging Insulation
Groundwater In Crawlspaces Ruins Insulation And Causes Musty Odors

How Do You Remove Musty Smells From Home?

Musty odors often originate from the crawl space or attic, typically caused by excess moisture, poor ventilation, mold growth, or contamination from pests and rodents. The first step is to identify and address the source like plumbing leaks, groundwater intrusion, or rodent feces. Once the source is addressed, the affected materials need to be replaced, and the crawl space or attic sealed.

Our process includes removing old insulation, vapor barriers, rodent feces, animal carcasses, debris, followed by sanitizing the entire area with a disinfectant solution. We also provide advanced mold remediation and removal services if needed, which involves applying mold treatments and a specialized primer to kill and prevent future mold growth. A full crawl space or attic remediation not only eliminates contaminants but also seals entry points to keep rodents out and air leaks to prevent odors from reentering the home through gaps and cracks.
