Crawlspace Mold Removal for Franklin & Simpson County
Found mold during a home inspection, or noticed a smell that keeps coming back? Fungus in a Franklin crawlspace is common, and it rarely stays in one spot.
Our crawlspace mold removal treats every affected joist, beam and section of subfloor, cleans and brightens the wood, and shows you what’s feeding the growth. Then we help you fix it for good.
Crawl Space Mold & Fungus Removal That Goes Beyond a Cover-Up
We treat every affected joist across the crawlspace, not just the ones you can see from the access door.
Main beams and girders carry the weight of your home, so we clean and treat fungal growth along their full length.
The underside of your subfloor is where musty odors start. We treat it to cut down on growth and smell.
Sill plates, rim joists, blocking and any other wood showing fungal growth get the same complete treatment.
Our Peroxide-Based Cleaning Treatment
We use a professional-grade, peroxide-based cleaner with an oxygenating, foaming action. It works into the surface of the wood to break down fungal growth, organic buildup and discoloration.
It also brightens the wood. As the buildup comes off, the natural color of your joists and subfloor shows through again, leaving your crawlspace noticeably cleaner. Some permanent staining may remain, depending on the condition of the wood.
Even Newer Franklin Homes Get Crawlspace Mold
A new home doesn’t mean a dry crawlspace. Thin builder-grade plastic and open vents let humid air in, and the clay soil around Franklin holds water after storms. It doesn’t take long for fungus to show up on fresh lumber.
Signs to watch for:
- A musty smell, even in a newer home
- Fungal growth flagged on a home inspection
- Spots or fuzz on joists near vents
- Water pooling on top of the plastic liner
- Humidity you can feel at the access door
How It Works
Our Crawl Space Mold Removal Process in Franklin
Every job starts with finding out why the fungus is there. Then we treat it and make sure you know how to keep it from coming back.
We look for mold and fungal growth on joists, beams and subflooring, and pinpoint the moisture causing it: high humidity, standing water or both.
We treat all affected wood throughout the crawlspace, not just the spots you can see from the access door.
Our foaming cleaner breaks down fungal growth and organic buildup on the wood surface.
Cleaned wood returns closer to its natural color, so you can see the difference.
We show you what's causing the problem and recommend the right fix to keep fungus from returning.
Pair your treatment with encapsulation and drainage where needed to keep your crawlspace dry and mold-free for the long haul.

Long-Term Mold Prevention Starts With Moisture Control
Removing mold is only half the job. If the moisture stays, the fungus comes back. That’s why we strongly recommend pairing mold removal with crawlspace encapsulation.
When we control groundwater and humidity, your crawlspace becomes a place where mold has a hard time growing. Complete encapsulations include a lifetime mold-free warranty.
Our Encapsulation Systems Can Include:
- Sealed crawlspace vents
- Heavy-duty 120 mil vapor barrier
- Commercial-grade Aprilaire dehumidifier
- Perimeter drainage and sump pump when needed
- A properly sealed crawlspace access door

It can if the moisture problem isn’t fixed. That’s why we pair treatment with a moisture plan, and why we recommend encapsulation for long-term prevention.
