The Stack Effect
While many homes in Gilbert are on concrete slabs, some older homes and custom builds have crawl spaces. If a plumbing pipe leaks into the dirt crawl space, the moisture creates a massive mold colony underneath your home.
Due to the "stack effect," warm air rising in your home pulls the cool, mold-contaminated air from the crawl space up through the floorboards and into your living areas. This can cause severe indoor air quality issues and unexplained illnesses for your family. Professional remediation requires full encapsulation and vapor barriers to fix permanently.
