When selling your home, you must assure it is in good condition. In order to do that you can have an inspection completed. Recently, a retired couple selling their home discovered mold in the crawl space during the buyer’s inspection. However, they didn’t panic and instead called PuroClean to mitigate the problem.
Mold Remediation in a Home in the Palisades
The clients called us because they needed the mold completely removed in order to complete the sale. They also needed this done as quickly and efficiently as possible. The only access to the crawl space location was near the front door and a prolonged restoration would obstruct the main entrance, causing other issues. So, our team quickly got to work.
The crawl space where the mold was found is only 2 feet high and 1,200 square feet in total. Obviously, our quick-thinking technicians had to improvise. They managed to circumvent the low clearance by using a mechanic’s dolly to get around the crawl space. Much like the famous artist Michelangelo, our technicians would be performing their art (of mold remediation) on their backs.
The scope of work included our team removing all of the insulation in the crawl space. It was widely contaminated and concealing other areas of mold. We conducted full mold remediation of the space before we replaced the insulation.
The clients were thrilled with the results and were able to move forward with the sale of their house. Our team, led by our technicians Vicente, Gabriel, and Justin, excelled on this job, completing it in a timely manner.
