Crawlspace Mold & Odor Problem

A Huntsville homeowner was trying to sell her house.  The home had been listed for six months and sat unoccupied.  As the months went by, a strong odor became noticeable as the homeowner and realtor visited the home periodically.  

The homeowner called three other companies before calling SERVPRO but none of them could find the source of the odor.  Our technician performed a thorough inspection of the home and the crawlspace.  He found small areas of moisture and mold growth in the crawlspace.  

The homeowner stated that the home had never had any sort of water damage during her time living there.  However, she did have dogs in the home which sometimes urinated on the hardwood floors.  Our technician determined this to be the source of the damage and mold in the crawlspace.  

Our crew cleaned and treated the damaged areas.  They also removed and replaced the vapor barrier.
