We had a musty smell coming up through the kitchen floor for a while and finally had the crawl space checked. The vapor barrier had torn in a couple spots and mold had spread along several joists. They removed it and were careful around our radon system the whole time.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Centreville-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
They removed mold from our HVAC system and ducts. Breathing at home feels easier now.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Mold Removal for Centreville, IL homes

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Alorton, East Saint Louis, Sauget and the rest of Centreville call us.
We handle crawl space mold removal for Centreville the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Columbia, about 20 minutes from our Columbia base, so we can usually reach a Centreville home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Crawl Space Mold Removal in Centreville, IL: common questions
How do I know if my crawl space has mold?
The most common sign is a persistent musty smell in the rooms above, especially near the floor. Discoloration on exposed joists, if you can see into the crawl space, is another clear indicator.
Do you install vapor barriers?
We assess vapor barrier condition during inspection and can perform full crawl space encapsulation as a separate service if your space needs more than mold removal alone.
How long does crawl space mold removal take?
Most jobs run one to a few days depending on the size of the space and how much wood is affected. Low clearance can slow the physical work down even on a relatively small area.
Is the crawl space mold removal you do in Centreville to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Saint Clair County.
Is it safe to work in a crawl space with a radon system?
Yes, our crew works carefully around existing radon mitigation piping, sealing, and fan units. We won't disturb an active system, and we'll flag anything that looks compromised.
Can crawl space mold affect the air I breathe upstairs?
It can, since air moves between a crawl space and the living area above through gaps, ductwork, and flooring seams more than most people realize. That's part of why persistent odor complaints often trace back down there.
How soon can you start crawl space mold removal in Centreville?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Centreville home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Centreville?
Yes. We cover all of Centreville, including Alorton, East Saint Louis, Sauget, and the rest of the Centreville area. We are based in Columbia, about 20 minutes from our Columbia base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
