Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Moldy Norton, MA Basement Needed Saving
This unfinished basement in Norton, MA needed help and quickly. The insulation was falling down likely as a result of trapped moisture, which in turn was pressing up against the ceiling and allowing perfect conditions for mold and mildew to grow. It goes without saying that breathing in and allowing those moldy spots to grow in those conditions endangers the health of the family in the home. Our inspector, Trevor, knew this and knew exactly what it would take to create a safe, livable basement once again for these homeowners. With the installation of our WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump system, water leaking in no longer stands a chance; with our team installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and treating the basement with Mold-X, we eliminated the conditions which would have allowed for continued mold growth and will help maintain relative humidity in the basement to ensure this never happens again!

Fallen Insulation
