Mold Removal in Lakewood

Lakewood sits in a natural low area near White Rock Lake, and properties closer to the lake experience consistently higher ambient humidity than neighborhoods just a mile away on higher ground. This matters because even a 5% humidity increase can tip a marginally ventilated crawl space from dry to mold-prone.

The Craftsman bungalows that define Lower Lakewood (south of Mockingbird) were built in the 1920s and 30s. Their pier-and-beam foundations sit close to the ground — sometimes with only 18 inches of clearance — making crawl space inspection and remediation more challenging. We find mold on floor joists, subflooring, and sill plates in these crawl spaces regularly.

Lakewood's older plumbing is another common trigger. Cast iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes have finite lifespans, and many Lakewood homes are past those limits. Slow leaks from deteriorating pipes inside walls create ideal mold conditions — persistent moisture on cellulose surfaces in an enclosed space.

We've remediated hundreds of Lakewood homes and understand the specific construction methods and challenges of this neighborhood. Whether it's a 1925 bungalow or a 1960s ranch, our team knows where to look and how to treat the issues that are most common in this part of Dallas.
