Molds thrive on moisture. Being the kind of damp space that a crawl space is, it's no wonder that crawl spaces are one of the most common areas of mold growth in the home. Moreover, most of the time this part of the house stays unoccupied and unattended, leaving mold problems to be discovered until it's too late. That is why crawl space moisture control and repair is so crucial.
Grate Products, LLC is a renowned basement and crawl space waterproofing products/solutions manufacturing and distribution company operating since 2006. We have all kinds of basement and crawl space waterproofing solutions including moisture control for mold.

Two things are required for mold growth: moisture/humidity and food source. Being located underneath your home right on top of the earth gives the fungus both. And if your crawl space is not moisture controlled (such as vapor barrier, dehumidifier, etc.) mold growth becomes much easier and faster.
Exposure to crawl space mold can lead to a range of health issues: eye irritation, coughing, wheezing, nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, eye irritation, skin irritation, and much more.
Grate Products offers a wide range of crawl space solutions including mold growth. These includes:
Standing water in the crawl space of any home can lead to mold and mildew growth - which, in addition to being a potential health hazard, can become the cause of rot and structural damage. We have crawl space specialized drainage systems that when run into our GrateSump™ Sump Pump System removes standing water from the crawl space.
Crawl space encapsulation is considered one of the best ways to seal out moisture and prevent mold in a crawl space. To complete the process of sealing the crawl space, we install a patented crawl space encapsulation system to completely eliminate vapors and odors rising from the ground; creating a layer of protection between the dirt floor and your living space.
After the area is sealed, the moisture level will need to be controlled and brought down to a relative humidity below 50%, using our high-efficiency dehumidification systems.
CrawlShield™ will prevent crawl space moisture from rising into the home or building. CrawlShield™ is used to totally encapsulate crawlspaces and provide a strong durable barrier that will help make your crawl space healthy and dry.
