What Causes Mold in My Crawlspace?

Your crawl space is the lowest level of your home and also the most unattended, making it prone to mold growth. Molds like all living beings need water and oxygen to survive. Unfortunately, a crawl space environment provides the essentials for mold to grow and thrive. Molds are dangerous to human health and may cause several problems like respiratory issues, allergic reactions, throat irritation, skin irritation, and more.

Causes of Mold Development in a Crawl Space

Molds grow on organic materials that they can feed on and spread. They cannot grow on inorganic materials like glass and metal. Furthermore, they can digest any organic substance or residue including dirt and dust. Consequently, the crawl space floor provides a good amount of dirt and organic material for mold to grow on. Thus, crawl spaces may be an ideal location for mold growth.

• Water - Mold grows best in damp, humid, and wet conditions. High humidity, pipe leaks, moisture seepage can all contribute to mold growth in a crawl space.
• Temperature - The ideal temperature for molds to grow is between 77° F and 86° F, which may be easily found in a crawl space.
• Oxygen - Mold needs much less oxygen to survive, and can even grow in low levels of oxygen, thus they can thrive in crawl space with ease.
