the home inspection. Several other companies agreed that the mold in the home
was coming from the crawlspace, and believed that encapsulation/sealing was the
answer. Unfortunately, encapsulating would cost $7,000+. The sellers chose a
different company, Volunteer Mold, to handle the problem with a cheaper
solution. I spoke with the manager of Volunteer Mold, Bob Byrne, over the
phone, and he was very patient while explaining that encapsulation was an
extreme solution. He explained that the problem was that mold was not
sufficiently removed 7 years ago when there was an incident of water intrusion
in the crawl space, and that by remediating and improving circulation, the
problem would be solved. He was professional over the phone, and by the end of
the conversation, he had me convinced that his solution would work. When we
purchased the home, the mold and the musty smell were gone. 6 months later, it
was back and we are we are now having to encapsulate/seal our crawl space.
Volunteer Mold has a page on their website for home sellers and offers to help
them fix their musty mold odors. I believe that his solution was not intended
to fix the issue long-term, but to help the sellers get rid of the problem
temporarily in order to sell their home. Ultimately, his expert recommendation
for our crawl space did not work, and after the sellers spent $3000 to
"fix-it" for 6 months, we are left to pay an additional $7000 to
truly have it taken care of for the long-term.
