When microbial growth shows up in your crawlspace, it is never a polite guest. It sneaks in quietly, spreads quickly, and before long your home smells musty, your air feels heavy, and your floors might even start complaining. Microbial growth is more than an eyesore, it is a threat to your home’s structure, your indoor air quality, and your peace of mind.

At The Crawl Shield, we specialize in precise, thorough microbial growth treatment for Murfreesboro homes, using methods that target the source instead of spraying something and hoping for the best. Our job is to remove the problem, restore the space, and protect your home from future growth with long term moisture control.

Why Microbial Growth Happens in the First Place

Your crawlspace is the perfect storm for microbial growth.
High humidity, poor airflow, standing water, temperature swings, and organic material all combine to create an ideal environment for mold and bacteria to thrive.

Here is what usually triggers microbial growth in Middle Tennessee crawlspaces:

•Moisture pockets from rain, groundwater, or plumbing leaks

•High humidity caused by vented crawlspaces

•Falling or wet insulation that traps moisture

•Unprotected soil without a vapor barrier

•Poor drainage around the foundation

Treating the growth is only half the battle. The other half is fixing what caused it, so it does not return.

Our Proven Microbial Treatment Process

1. Inspect and Identify the Source

We locate exactly where moisture is entering or collecting and determine the type and spread of microbial activity.

2. Apply Professional Grade Treatments

Our EPA registered solutions sanitize and treat affected surfaces in a detailed, methodical process that eliminates microbial growth fully and safely.

3. Address Moisture and Future Risk

We help protect your crawlspace long term through encapsulation, dehumidification, drainage improvements, or vapor barrier upgrades so the growth cannot return.

4. Restore the Crawlspace to a Healthy Condition

A treated and properly maintained crawlspace improves air quality, reduces odors, protects flooring, and helps increase overall home efficiency.
