What are the signs of mold in a crawl space?

Can remediation proceed with an active radon system?
Yes. The crew works around existing mitigation components without disturbing them, and notes any visible issues with the system.
Can crawl space mold impact indoor air quality?
Yes. Air moves between a crawl space and living areas through various gaps, which is why odors often originate there.
