Expert Crawl Space Mold Removal: Do You Have Mold In Your Crawl Space?
Triangle Radiant Barrier is certified for mold removal control, inspection and remediation. Crawl space mold significantly degrades your home’s indoor air quality, can compromise the structural integrity of your home, and put you and your family’s health at risk.
We offer spray and fogging fungicide, HEPA Vacuum Scrubbing, Soda Blasting, and chemical-free Dry Ice Blasting. We also offer manual sanitization cleaning of your crawl space utility surfaces.
Mold Removal Chemical Remediation
Chemical remediation is the most affordable option and is effective at killing light to medium mold. However, it does entail the use of mold removal chemicals which may be of concern to some homeowners. While there is no specific requirement to vacate the home during this method of remediation, it does contain sodium chloride with an order similar to bleach which may be an annoyance to some home occupants if present during or within a couple hours of application. Customer with sensitivities in this regard may want to have a ‘back-up plan’ to vacate the home during application, in case the smell is deemed as overly annoying. Wood-cleaning spray is often not effective against heavy mold staining / visible accumulation, especially on porous surfaces such as OSB plywood which is often used as subflooring and pony wall sheathing.
One of the best solutions to getting rid of the dangerous mold in your crawlspace is chemical-free Dry Ice Blasting, which blasts that harmful mold right out of your crawlspace.
Fogging Fungicide
Fogging fungicide inundates the entire crawl space to find and kill mold wherever it might be hiding. Does not, however, remove the mold’s visible accumulation or staining. Removal of visible accumulation requires either a mold-cleaning spray for blasting.
Fungicide and Soda Blasting Mold Remediation
This method kills mold with fungicide and cleans treated surfaces with Soda Blasting. Effective mold removal in crawl space that are visible accumulate surface growth and also removes about 70% of mold staining from wood. Provides a better aesthetic result than does HEPA Vacuum Scrubbing. Soda Blasting does leave a fine white dust residue (baking soda) on surrounding utility surfaces which may require separate cleaning but does act as a natural deodorizer.
Dry Ice Blasting
Blasting at -110 degrees Fahrenheit, Dry Ice Blasting instantly kills mold and mildew on contact while simultaneously cleaning surfaces. There is no residue; dry ice sublimates directly from a solid to a gas. Dry Ice Blasting is effective at killing mold, removes visible accumulated surface growth, and provides the best cleaning of wood surfaces by removing 90%+ of embedded staining. Dry Ice Blasting is unique in that it is a fully chemical-free mold remediation in crawl space method. If anyone in your home has sensitivities to chemicals or if you just like the idea of no chemicals being used under your living space, Dry Ice Blasting is the way to go!
Crawl Space 'No Mold' Guarantee
After our crawl space mold remediation work is done, we highly recommend you have us seal / encapsulate your crawl space. Crawl space encapsulation with environment conditioning will moderate relative humidity such that mildew and mold will not be able to grow. We offer our ‘No Mold Guarantee’ which will guarantee against the regrowth of mildew or mold in your crawl space (terms and conditions apply).
Contact us for mold removal from crawl space.
Reason #1 To Seal Your Crawl Space: Protect Against Mold
Here in the RDU / Triangle area of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary), our climate is very humid, which is one of the key ingredients for mold growth in a crawlspace. The other contributing factors include limited airflow, no direct sunlight, moderate to hot air and high air relative humidity. The only way to mildew and mold removal in crawl space is to properly seal it / encapsulate it and add environmental conditioning, which includes air induction and/or dehumidification.
Reason #2 To Seal Your Crawl Space: To Improve Indoor Air Quality
Current science shows that around 40% of the air we breath in our homes originate in our crawl space. If your crawl space has mold and mildew in it, there is a very good chance you are breathing in mold spores everyday.
In fact, an average vented crawlspace has such poor-quality air that finding mildew, mold, rust, wood rot, deteriorated fiberglass insulation, pest urine/feces/corpses, dust, pathogens, and decaying organic matter in the crawlspace soil is, unfortunately, quite common.
This poor-quality air moves up into your home via the stack effect (natural movement of air upwards through a home) and can saturate your crawlspace-installed HVAC ducts and components.
The only way of mold removal crawl space from getting into your home is to seal the crawlspace completely. The benefit of a sealed crawlspace is that it moderates relative humidity which inhibits mildew, mold, wood rot and rust.
When sealing a crawlspace, the fiberglass insulation that is often found there is removed and no longer present to be an air quality deterrent. A sealed crawlspace also blocks ingress points that pests like insects, rodents and snakes use to get in and out of your Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary residence.
Furthermore, a high-quality vapor barrier will also guard against nasty vapors that can come up through the ground. We can further alleviate bad odors by applying a natural deodorization spray comprised of non-pathogenic bacteria and enzymes that are specially designed to consume (not just cover) any decaying organic matter that may be present under your vapor barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions On Mold Space Encapsulation in Raleigh, NC
Mold will grow in any space that has relatively high air moisture, warm to hot air, stagnant airflow, and no direct sunlight. All of these are present in crawl spaces in humid climates and why vented crawl spaces in humid climates are so susceptible to mold.
Yes. In homes with vented crawl spaces, up to 40% of the breathing air in a living space originates in the crawlspace. The is due to stack effect (the natural movement of air ‘upwards’ through your home) as well as leaks in return HVAC ducts in the crawl space.
Once mold is present, it will continue to be present and grow until it is remediated and the environmental negative conditions rectified. Mold consumes organic matter, such as wood framing in homes which will increasingly compromise the structural integrity of the home, if left unchecked.
Crawl space mold remediation is generally conducted in two ‘phases’: 1) killing the mold and 2) removing the visible, accumulated mold growth on the treated surfaces and potentially the mold staining embedded in the surface as well.
Killing mold requires the application (typically spraying or fogging) of a chemical fungicide or using a specialized process such as Dry Ice Blasting (killing mold with extremely cold temperature).
Mold removal from crawl space that are visible, accumulated growth from the treated surface is typically done with HEPA Vacuum Scrubbing, Soda Blasting (pressure cleaning with high pressure baking soda), or Dry Ice Blasting (pressure cleaning with high pressure dry ice).
The crawl space mold remediation cost may vary depending on several factors, such as the extent of the mold infestation, the size of the crawl space, and the treatments required. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $500 and $6,000 for mold removal and remediation services. For a more accurate estimate, contact us.
Dry Ice Blasting offers the most effective performance for crawl space mold remediation in terms of not only killing the mold and removing the visible, accumulated mold growth on the treated surfaces but also in removing the staining that the mold left in the treated surface. Dry Ice Blasting can typically remove about 90% of staining from wood surfaces such as crawl space joists and subflooring. Dry Ice Blasting is also chemical free and residue free.
Soda Blasting (with fungicide pre-treatment) is fully effective at killing mold and removing the visible, accumulated growth on treated surfaces, and will typically remove about 70% of the staining from wood surfaces. Soda Blasting does leave a fine white dusting of soda residue in the crawl space with does help as a deodorizer but may leave you wanting for aesthetic wipe cleaning.
HEPA Vacuum Scrubbing (with fungicide pre-treatment) is fully effective at killing mold and removing visible, accumulated growth on treated surfaces. It will not remove any staining embedded in wood surfaces.

Customer reviews
Outstanding service and product experience. Was very informative throughout the job and exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.
These guys were professional commented the work fast, had high quality products, left everything sparkling clean, and had the best price of the 5 companies I interviewed
We shopped around for someone to encapsulate our crawlspace and install a dehumidifier and TRB was by far the best we looked at. Best quality, best interaction, cheapest, most thorough.
The initial inspection was so thorough, and they gave a very comprehensive quote (with pictures, additional optional add-ons, and a half hour zoom meeting to explain all the processes). Great for us new homeowners. The crew showed up on time, was efficient, courteous, and done early.
They were thousands of dollars cheaper than the competitor, even with the add-ons. (We added mold removal, and a dividing wall built under our porch too). By no means did they try to upsell us, like all the other contractors we had quoted before.
They genuinely cared about us as customers, and the work that they did. Out of all the contractors we've had work on our house these were absolutely the best. Wish we could hire them for more than just our crawlspace!

Our experience with TRB was truly phenomenal. We spoke with multiple companies before choosing TRB. The TRB staff that came to our home were wonderfully professional and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the options that would be best for our home. The installation crew was very respectful of the space and worked impressively efficiently. We are very please with the work.
Amazing service, very professional and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.
Incredible work ethic; the entire team did a superlative job!
We recently had our crawlspace encapsulated, some mold remediation and a dehumidifier installed. We were impressed from the moment Triangle Remediation came out to assess our situation. The assessment was thorough and pointed out a few areas that needed remediation (including a leak we were not aware of). It wasn't a hard sales pitch but rather they provided options and suggestions.
We were super impressed with Jason and his crew who did the work. they communicated through every step of the process and the crawlspace now looks amazing and the humidity is under control.
These days it is rare to find reliable service providers and even more rare to see the professionalism and pride in the people doing the work. Kudos to the Triangle Radiant Barrier team.
I would strongly recommend their services. Their pricing is fair, communication outstanding and quality of work excellent.

We just had our first experience with Triangle Radiant Barrier. We are very pleased with the entire process. We have been kept informed throughout the entire process. Today they installed our new vapor barrier in our crawl space. The installer Jason and his partner showed up ahead of schedule. They introduced themselves and told us they were available to answer any questions throughout the installation process. They completed their work in a timely manner. They cleaned up before they left. They truly exhibited all of the qualities that you look for when paying for services!!! I would highly recommend them as well as their company Triangle Radiant Barrier whenever you need crawl space work done

They did my crawl space encapsulation. Josh and Robert worked quickly and keep me appraised throughout the job. Did an excellent job cleaning up too.
We contacted Triangle Radiant Barrier about crawlspace encapsulation. From the first conversation with Shannon to the final walk through, everyone at TRB was polite, professional, helpful, and friendly. We were kept informed during the entire process and everyone was happy to answer all of our questions. We will recommend TRB to any of our family or friends. The entire team was a pleasure to work with.
TRB did a wonderful job! Very very professional and no hidden costs. A well run company focused on complete customer satisfation and optimal results. I am super pleased!
This is an excellent company that provided a professional service in replacing the moisture barrier in my crawl space. The owners were easy to deal with without any pressure or aggressive upselling. The installation performed by Dante was top notch! He was professional, friendly, provided great communication throughout the process and the end result was worth every penny. I can actually go down into my crawl space now without feeling dirty and nasty. I highly recommend Triangle Radiant Barrier!
These folks were one of the best group of people I've ever dealt with. From the first visit, where everything was explained in detail, to the days the work was done, the entire crew was extremely professional and very knowledgeable. The work was done to perfection and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. It's so refreshing to deal with people who know what they're taking about and can explain things clearly.
I couldn't recommend Triangle Radiant Barrier any more enthusiastically than this. Great experience!!!

We've used them a couple times now, both for our attic, and the crawl space, and they do excellent work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them!
Triangle Radiant Barrier didn't just install a dehumidifier in our crawlspace, I feel they gave us our house back. The problem: Unbeknownst to us, the hot water heater in our crawlspace had been leaking for days or weeks until it finally blew up. Because the crawlspace is sealed, all that hot, humid water got trapped. The humidity level down there rose to above 80% and stayed there. It was only a matter of time before mold would grow. But that's not all. There was a musty smell inside the house that we attributed to the humidity. Triangle Radiant Barrier concluded that (TMI alert) the main culprit was mouse urine in the crawlspace. With incredible speed, Triangle Radiant Barrier took care of everything -- dehumidifier installation, electrical work, crawlspace cleaning. And their communication was simply incredible. They kept me apprised every step of the way. I have very high standards for service providers, and this company -- referred to me by a friend -- somehow managed to exceed them.
I was recommended by my brother-in-law and needless to say, I was not disappointed! The whole team was quick, professional, and very informative, walking me through every step of my crawlspace renovation. I will be recommending them to anyone that needs their crawlspace taken care of!
Shannon, Brock, Brian, Charlie and Robert were all quick, efficient and very communicative throughout the whole process of getting our attic up to snuff with an insulated barrier. I will recommend the company to friends in future!
After speaking to several other companies about having my crawlspace encapsulated, I selected Triangle Radiant for the job.
From the start to finish everyone was responsive, courteous and professional. They explained the process and the work to be done. The Pricing was very reasonable. The Job was scheduled, and the workers arrived on time and the job was finished in several days. After completion Quality control came and we examined the job to make sure everything was done.
All in all a job well done.
Thanks Joe S. Fuquay Varina

Jason, Robert and the whole team did an excellent job on my attic. They were all professional and they did exactly what I wanted them to do. I greatly appreciated their hard work.
Honest, thorough, on-time, and understanding. This was one of the best experiences plus the price was in line with the work. Very competitive.
I am very happy with the crawl space encapsulation work done by the pros at Triangle Radient Barrier. The work was done in only two days, but the improvement was immediately noticeable. I was also pleased with the quality of their work and its affordability. I whole heartedly recommend Triangle Radient Barrier!
We had an excellent experience with Triangle Radiant Barrier! The process was quick a from start to finish. Someone came out to our house the next day for a quote after I reached out, and our insulation was done the next week. The install crew was professional, polite, and efficient. We will definitely be using the company in the future if we ever need them.
RTB came to my home to restore the crawlspace including installing new 10 millimeters vapor barrier. New insulation, etc.
Took them about four hours. A two man crew. Jason the lead was outstanding. As was his helper.
I’m very pleased with the results. And I have not even had the final inspection yet.
If you need crawlspace upgrading or mold remediation etc, Research Triangle Barrier is the only choice.
