Comstock Park is the community just north of Grand Rapids, mostly in Alpine and Plainfield townships, and home to the minor league ballpark off US-131. Its housing is a mix of older homes near the Grand River and Mill Creek and newer neighborhoods further out.
Older homes here often have a basement under part of the house and a crawl space under an addition. The crawl space is frequently where the musty smell starts, with a dirt floor, little ventilation and insulation that has gone damp.
Call (616) 226-9528If the floor above feels cold and smells musty, have the crawl space checked. Fixing it usually means removing the mold, drying the space and putting down a proper vapor barrier.
Common questions
Do you cover Alpine and Plainfield townships?
Yes, including Comstock Park and the surrounding area north of Grand Rapids.
Can mold under the house make the house smell?
Yes. Air moves up from a crawl space through gaps in the floor, bringing moisture and musty odor with it.
How long does crawl space mold removal take?
Many crawl space jobs take one to two days, plus time for a vapor barrier if one is added.
