Most newer West Palm Beach homes are built on a slab, but older and raised construction — particularly in some of the historic-district homes and pier-supported structures — can have a crawl space that traps ground moisture and humid air with almost no ventilation. Because it's a space homeowners rarely enter, mold and wood rot can spread for months before a musty odor upstairs or a soft spot in the flooring gives it away.
We inspect crawl spaces for standing moisture, vapor barrier condition, and active growth on floor joists and subflooring, then remediate affected wood and install or repair vapor barriers to cut off the moisture source going forward.
If your crawl space has standing water after heavy rain, that's addressed as part of the same visit — grading, drainage, or sump recommendations included.
