“Wow! Me and my husband were blown away with Pure Air. Randy was VERY knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. He really cared about our situation and it showed! Highly recommend this company for anyone with even a suspicion of mold.”
If your house has been smelling musty and you can’t trace it to any one room, there’s a good chance the problem is down below your feet. Crawl spaces are out of sight for most homeowners, and that’s exactly why mold down there can spread for months before anybody notices what’s going on. We deal with crawl space mold all the time in Birmingham, and we can take care of it fast without tearing up your house. Here’s what to look for and how we handle it when you call.

“Jack came out and immediately found the mold we had been suspecting for awhile. My husband was suffering from brain fog and headaches. My son had been to the ER multiple times last year because of breathing issues. Since getting the mold removed my son and husband’s issues have disappeared. I was shocked at the difference in the air sampling from before and after.”
“Scott Kennemer came to our home and sat down and explained the entire process to us. Next Ry and Dee came out and explained everything they would be doing for the day. Our situation is a 100% better — the pulmonary doctor is amazed at how much better my husband can breathe. I can’t say enough good things about this company and the employees!”
“Pure Air of Alabama came to the rescue. Ri the tech did an awesome job — I slept in my room after treatment for the first time in 2 weeks. Mold gone, breathing good, no musty smell anymore. I would use Pure Air again and again.”
“Great company! I reported a possible mold problem around 11:00 in the morning and had the room cleaned before 7:00 that night. I know that is not always going to be possible, but we had a problem that needed attention asap and they made it happen.”
“From the 1st phone call to the final visit, everything could not have gone any smoother. A gentleman came to my house for a site visit — he was transparent and made me feel comfortable with the process. Dee was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this company!”
If you have a crawl space, a few things usually tip you off to a mold problem. A musty smell on the ground floor that you can’t pin to any one room. Floors that feel cool or damp when you walk around barefoot. Allergy flare-ups that don’t let up after you clean. If someone actually gets under the house and looks, mold shows up on floor joists, the underside of the subfloor, the plastic vapor barrier, and insulation batts. Birmingham crawl spaces get hit hard because our humidity stays high most of the year and the red clay around here holds water long after every storm. A lot of older homes in Avondale and Forest Park were built with dirt floors and no vapor barrier at all. Wait too long and the problem creeps into framing and the air in the rooms above.
Crawl spaces are one of the hardest parts of a house to treat the old-fashioned way. Low clearance, tight openings, exposed dirt, insulation stuffed between joists, ductwork and plumbing in the way. Scrubbing every surface by hand is close to impossible. Most traditional remediation companies won’t even quote the job without pulling out insulation first. Our VaPURE technology was built for spaces exactly like this. An antimicrobial sterilant moves through the whole crawl space, coats the joists and subfloor, wraps around pipes and ducts, and reaches the tight gaps where mold likes to hide. It kills mold on surfaces and in the air without anyone having to crawl into every corner with a brush. We follow with a second application that leaves a protective coating to slow regrowth. Most jobs wrap up in a single visit, often same day.
Traditional crawl space remediation is expensive mostly because it’s so labor-heavy. Workers spend hours or days in a confined space pulling insulation, hand-treating every surface, and putting it all back. Our VaPURE process treats the whole space without that kind of access, so the cost drops with it. The price on your job depends on the square footage, how accessible the space is, and how far the mold has spread. We inspect first and give you a written quote before any work starts. No hidden fees. No hourly billing that keeps climbing while somebody fights with a three-foot clearance.
Birmingham’s humidity is rough on crawl spaces, and we know what it does to the homes around here. We verify every job with independent lab testing, and we guarantee indoor mold levels will come back lower than what’s outside. If they don’t, we retreat at no charge. Same-day service is usually available, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what’s going on under your house instead of pushing you toward demolition you don’t need.
If your crawl space needs attention and you want it handled quickly, give us a call. Pure Air Alabama answers at (866) 928-5551, and we can usually have someone out the same day to take a look.
The first step is a free telephone consultation with a specialist. It helps you understand why you have mold, the causes, and what can be done about it — including Pure Air Alabama services, availability, and pricing.
