Why Choose Us

4 Reasons Lakewood Clients Call Us First

IICRC-certified specialists with real field experience in Lakewood, WA.

🔨
Crawl Space Entry & Joist Assessment
We assess every linear foot of accessible joist and sheathing. Moisture content readings, vapor barrier condition, ventilation cross-flow measurement.
💧
Vapor Barrier Repair & Replacement
Vapor barrier condition is documented and corrected as part of every Lakewood crawl space mold job. A treated crawl space with a failed vapor barrier will develop mold again.
💨
Ventilation Assessment & Cross-Flow Improvement
Vent count, size, and placement affect crawl space humidity. We identify ventilation deficiencies and recommend corrections alongside the mold removal.
✅
Fungicidal Treatment & Borate Application
EPA fungicide plus penetrating borate application on all accessible joist and sheathing surfaces. Borate diffuses into wood fiber over time, providing ongoing protection against fungal re-establishment.
Service Solutions

What Our Lakewood Below-Grade Team Does

From joist treatment to vapor barrier replacement and encapsulation — the full scope of crawl space mold remediation in Lakewood, WA.

🔍
Crawl Space Mold Assessment & Moisture Mapping
Before any remediation work starts in your Lakewood crawl space, we map moisture content zone by zone, photograph all visible mold growth, and assess the vapor barrier and ventilation — giving you a clear picture of what's there and what's needed.
🔨
Joist & Subfloor Sheathing Mold Removal
Surface mold on joists (typically Penicillium, Aspergillus, or Cladosporium in most Lakewood, WA crawl spaces) is removed using HEPA vacuuming and wire-brushing on accessible surfaces. Severely deteriorated sections of joist or sheathing may require replacement where structural integrity is compromised by fungal digestion.
💧
Vapor Barrier Repair & Replacement
Vapor barrier inspection, repair, or full replacement with properly-lapped, footing-secured reinforced poly. This is often the single most impactful long-term fix for chronic crawl space mold in Lakewood, WA homes.
🏔
Encapsulation for Severe Moisture Environments
Full crawl space encapsulation — sealed ground cover, insulated perimeter walls, and conditioned air — is warranted in high-moisture-load situations where passive ventilation is insufficient. We assess your specific Lakewood, WA conditions before recommending encapsulation vs. enhanced ventilation.
⚡
Ventilation Correction & Dehumidifier Installation
Additional vents, power ventilation, or a dedicated crawl space dehumidifier — we identify the right ventilation solution for your specific Lakewood, WA crawl space based on its geometry, construction, and moisture load.
📄
Post-Remediation Clearance & Moisture Verification
Post-remediation moisture re-check plus independent post-removal air sampling. Joist moisture content below threshold, post-clearance air sample confirming reduced spore counts — both documented in your written clearance report.

Customer Reviews

What Lakewood, WA Clients Say About Our Crawl Space Mold Removal

★★★★★
Musty smell throughout our Lakewood home for two years — every contractor we called said it was 'just humidity.' Cheap Mold Removal was the first company to actually go into the crawl space with moisture meters. Found joist MC readings at 24% and significant Penicillium growth across 60% of the accessible joists. HEPA removal, borate treatment, new vapor barrier, two additional vents added. Smell was gone within a week of completion. Clearance test confirmed clean.

★★★★★
The crawl space mold under our Lakewood, WA rental property was causing complaints from tenants about musty odor in the first-floor bedrooms. Cheap Mold Removal did the remediation, replaced the vapor barrier, and added ventilation. Independent post-clearance confirmed clean air quality. No tenant complaints since.
Patricia R.
Landlord, Lakewood, WA
★★★★★
Post-flood crawl space remediation after groundwater intrusion during heavy rains. Cheap Mold Removal pumped standing water, allowed drying, then returned for full joist and sheathing mold remediation. The vapor barrier replacement and additional sump recommendation were part of the scope. Insurance adjuster had everything they needed from their documentation.

FAQ

What Lakewood Homeowners Ask Us

Crawl space joist mold in Lakewood, WA almost always traces back to moisture: failed vapor barrier, inadequate ventilation, plumbing leaks, or groundwater intrusion. High relative humidity in the space — typically above 70% RH — creates the conditions for Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium to colonize wood surfaces. Identifying and correcting the moisture source is as important as treating the mold.
DIY bleach treatment on crawl space joists is one of the most common 'temporary fix' scenarios we encounter in Lakewood, WA homes. It can knock back visible surface growth briefly, but without penetrating treatment and moisture source correction, regrowth is almost certain. Professional treatment plus vapor barrier and ventilation correction is the only approach that produces lasting results.
Stack effect draws crawl space air upward into living areas — it's estimated that a significant percentage of first-floor air comes from below. Elevated crawl space spore counts translate directly to elevated living space counts. This is why Lakewood homeowners often report musty odors in bedrooms and living rooms, not just when they open the crawl space access hatch.
Most residential Lakewood, WA crawl space remediations complete in one to two days. Larger spaces or those requiring significant vapor barrier replacement or ventilation work may take longer. We give you a specific timeline estimate with the written scope after the on-site assessment.
Encapsulation is the right solution for some Lakewood, WA crawl spaces — particularly those with high moisture loads, poor drainage, or where enhanced ventilation alone hasn't controlled humidity. For others, a proper vapor barrier plus ventilation correction achieves the same outcome at lower cost. We'll tell you which is appropriate for your specific Lakewood crawl space based on what we find during assessment.
