How Fungus Grows In Your Home

Like other organic substances, your home can produce conducive conditions perfect for unwanted fungal growth. Some of the most common examples are:

• Water damage: This includes damage around your windows and doors and is the leading cause of fungus growth in the home.
  
  
• Excessive humidity: Without proper ventilation, a high humidity level can occur inside your house. One of the main risks is fungus growth when this happens.
  
  
• Leaks and condensation: Most common in the crawlspace or attic, it's possible that a leaking hose or excess condensation around your AC unit can lead to fungal growth in your home.

Even if your home has moisture problems for just a short time, there could be long-term problems you haven't noticed. That's why it's always a good idea to get an inspection so you can tackle concerns before they become problems.

Our Fungus Treatment Process

At Diamond Exterminators and Crawlspace Solutions, we take fungus growth in your home seriously, which is why we happily provide fungus treatments for the residents of Hampton Roads and the surrounding area. Before getting to work on your treatment, we begin with an inspection, during which we check for the following:

• Leaky roofs
• Poor indoor plumbing
• Broken drainage
• Damp basements and crawlspaces
• Improper ventilation for equipment/appliances

These are the most commonly affected areas of the home, which is why the bulk of our focus lies here. After the inspection, we provide a complete fungus treatment, which includes evaluation, removal, and protection in addition to the initial examination.

Depending on the condition of the fungi we find, we'll customize our service to better fit your unique situation. However, our two main methods are either spot treatments or full treatments.

For the treatment itself, we'll use a Tim-Bor product, a white powder mixed with water. We apply this application with a spray gun, ensuring maximum coverage.

While fungus treatments are needed first, we also recommend installing encapsulation or vapor barrier for additional protection.

If you're ready to take back control of your home, then reach out to us today! Contact Diamond Exterminators and Crawlspace Solutions to start your fungus treatment!
