Crawlspace in Vancouver. Small crawlspace and the house is pretty much at grade so there isn’t really much room for passive crawlspace ventilation. As such, we opted for a system with a fan on a humidistat. In any case, delays in the installation of the system and wet weather have combined to create a perfect environment in the crawlspace for mold to grow – spots can be seen on pretty much every TJI .
What’s the process to deal with this. Calling a remediation contractor would pretty much be the last resort, but what we’re thinking of is cutting a few holes in the subfloor to enable more ventilation in the meantime and throwing some fans/heaters/and a dehumidifier down there for a few days before getting someone with a wire brush and moldicide. Does that seem like we’re on the right track? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
