AdvantaClean of the West Side Our Work

Problem
An Avon, OH home had moisture concerns in the crawlspace, including visible water damage on wood framing and signs that damp conditions had been lingering. Crawlspaces are easy to overlook, but excess moisture down there can affect the structure above it and create the kind of environment where mold and musty odors can develop.

Solution
AdvantaClean of the West Side, OH helped address the crawlspace water damage and installed encapsulation to create a cleaner, more protected space. Encapsulation uses a durable vapor barrier to help separate the crawlspace from ground moisture, supporting better long-term moisture control. If your crawlspace feels damp, smells musty, or shows signs of water damage, trust AdvantaClean of the West Side, OH. Call today to schedule your crawlspace inspection.

Problem: Water damage in this Olmsted Township home wasn’t fully visible at first. Moisture had traveled behind walls and into the ceiling around the bathroom, causing staining and structural deterioration. By the time it was noticed, materials were already saturated, and hidden moisture created the perfect conditions for further damage and potential mold growth.

Solution: AdvantaClean of the West Side, OH used thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture and identify the full extent of the damage. Affected materials were removed, and professional drying equipment was strategically placed to target moisture within walls and ceiling cavities. By monitoring moisture levels and ensuring a thorough dry-out, we helped prevent further issues and prepared the space for restoration.

Location: Middleburgh Heights, OH 44130

Problem: Homeowner called with concerns about a musty odor that was in their house they purchased a year ago. AdvantaClean of the West Side did air sampling and a thorough inspection of the property. We found the vapor barrier in the crawlspace had large holes in it which was allowing moist air to allow mold to grow on the floor joists of the crawl space. The ground under the ground was moist and creating the musty smell which was causing the smell and elevated mold spore levels in the living area directly above the crawlspace.

Solution: AdvantaClean of the West Side determined that the best way to address the issue was to do a complete encapsulation of the crawl space. We started by doing a complete mold remediation which included removing the existing vapor barrier and insulation. Once the mold was remediated we leveled the crawl space floor and installed drainage matting. We then installed 6-mil poly to the walls and 20-mil poly over the drainage matting. We sealed all of the crawlspace vents to ensure that no outside air could enter the space. Lastly, we installed a dehumidifier that will drain into the existing sump pump and replaced the insulation.
