What happened in Shawano
CCS inspected this home near Shawano on October 21, 2025, as a free mold assessment, and documented it with 6 photos. The owner received a written estimate for remediation.
The photos were taken in a tight crawl space with a dirt floor under an older home. The floor framing overhead is old wood, with board subflooring, joists and a sill along the foundation. Much of the wood is gray and weathered, with white and dark patches of growth on the joists and the boards, and dark staining on the framing closest to the ground. A flexible duct runs along the foundation in one corner.
A bare dirt floor gives off moisture all the time, and in a crawl space without a vapor barrier that moisture rises straight into the wood above. Covering the ground and controlling the humidity are usually part of the plan along with treating the framing.
