Mold help for Notus and surrounding farms
Short answer: rural homes around Notus often deal with mold in crawl spaces, older farmhouses, manufactured homes and rooms cooled by evaporative coolers. Our local team can inspect, find the moisture source and remove the mold.
Older farmhouses
Many farm properties include homes that have been added onto over the decades. Additions built over crawl spaces, older plumbing, cellars and attics without proper vents are all common places for mold. If you notice a musty smell that lingers, start with a mold inspection and read about musty odor removal.
Irrigated land and ground moisture
Surrounding fields and ditches carry irrigation water through much of the growing season. Homes near ditches, on low ground or with yard irrigation hitting the foundation can see water in the crawl space during these months. Check under the house for standing water, damp soil and a damaged vapor barrier; our crawl space mold removal page explains what our team will do.
Evaporative (swamp) coolers
Some rural and older homes in the area are cooled with evaporative coolers, which work by adding moisture to the air. A cooler that leaks at the roof penetration, runs without enough open windows or sits idle with standing water can raise humidity and wet the ceiling or ductwork below. Stains around the cooler vent or a musty smell when it runs are worth having checked; HVAC and duct mold covers related issues.
Manufactured homes
Plumbing leaks under manufactured homes can soak the insulation inside the belly wrap without any visible sign indoors until floors soften. Our team can open and dry the floor system and remove moldy insulation.
