More residential wood is destroyed by decay each year than by fires, floods, and termites combined. Wood-destroying fungi can structurally weaken your home's crawl space in a very short period of time — and repair costs add up quickly.
Using professional moisture meters, our certified inspectors determine the extent of active mold or fungus infestations in crawl spaces and basements throughout Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk, and surrounding Hampton Roads communities. Fungi acts as a root system for water through the wood beneath your home — fast-acting and capable of causing major damage in just months. However, with proper treatment applied in a timely manner, the fungi will begin to die and dry up within days.
Because mold and fungus are caused by underlying moisture issues, we often recommend moisture mitigation techniques alongside treatment. And because we're also licensed contractors, we provide both treatment and structural repair services.
Please note: Commonwealth Pest Control treats wood-destroying fungi and mold found in crawl spaces and structural areas as part of our pest and moisture control services. We do not offer IICRC-certified mold remediation. Each situation is assessed individually to determine the appropriate course of action.
Annual inspections by our certified moisture inspectors are the ideal way to detect this destructive organism before costly repairs are needed. We offer initial inspections at no cost to you.
