Crawlspaces are out of sight, but when mold takes root down there, the air you breathe upstairs is at risk. Nearly 50% of the air in your home can originate from the crawlspace, making it a hidden threat to indoor air quality.
At Pristine Restoration, we help Rhode Island homeowners remove crawlspace mold and improve their indoor environments for good.

Why Does Mold Grow in Crawlspaces?
Crawlspaces often suffer from:
– High humidity or moisture from soil
– Poor ventilation or air circulation
– Leaks from pipes or HVAC systems
– Condensation on joists or ductwork
This dark, damp environment makes an ideal breeding ground for mold.
How It Impacts Your Indoor Air Quality
Mold spores from crawlspaces can enter your living areas through:
– HVAC systems
– Floor vents and ductwork
– Small openings in subfloors
Health risks include:
– Allergy flare-ups
– Persistent cough or sinus issues
– Headaches and fatigue
– Worsening asthma or respiratory conditions
Even if you don’t spend time in your crawlspace, your lungs do.
Signs You May Have Mold in Your Crawlspace
– Musty or damp smell in your home
– Cold floors or warped wood above the crawlspace
– Visible mold on insulation or wood joists
– Condensation or standing water
– Higher-than-normal humidity indoors
How We Remove Crawlspace Mold
At Pristine, our mold remediation team follows strict protocols:

Should You Encapsulate Your Crawlspace?
Yes, especially in Rhode Island homes prone to humidity or flooding.
Crawlspace encapsulation involves:
– Sealing the ground with a vapor barrier
– Closing vents and insulating walls
– Installing dehumidifiers or drainage systems
This keeps moisture (and mold) out for good.
