Mold Prevention & Treatment Solutions in Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas
We help treat & prevent mold in basements & crawl spaces in Memphis
Learn how the Mold-X2 system can help eliminate mold growth in your home.
Basements and crawl spaces are some of the dampest spaces in a home. Active plumbing leaks, excessive condensation on pipes and fittings, leaks in the foundation, or high humidity levels can all contribute to mold and mildew problems in the basement or crawl space. A lingering mold problem can cause damage to your home and negatively impact the health of those living there.
Dealing with a mold problem in your basement or crawl space includes preventing mold growth and treating existing mold stains. The key is making your basement or crawl space a less friendly environment for mold growth. Redeemers Group can help!

Our Mold-X2 products are proven to remove mold
Redeemers Group specializes in installing two types of Mold-X2. Different basements and crawl spaces require different types of treatment, and these products can handle mild and more aggressive mold. Our Mold-X2 Stain Remover cleans contaminated surfaces, including wood or masonry, in just 20 seconds. In order to prevent mold from growing back after using this product, the space must be kept dry and without humidity. This is why we offer it in tandem with our basement waterproofing services.
Mold-X2 Botanical features
- Antimicrobial
- Fungicide
- Cleaner and deodorizer
- All-natural formula
Our other Mold-X2 product, called Mold-X2 Botanical, will help prevent mold from recurring on these types of building services. We recommend an application of our Stain Remover followed by our Botanical product to help make mold stay away. Furthermore, it's important to note that home ventilation is usually required after the application of Mold-X2 because of its odor.

How to find mold & mildew
Before it can be treated, you need to find out what caused the mold or mildew to grow in the first place and fix the issue. Otherwise, after you remove it, the problem may return. Remember that while some mold growth might be easy to spot, pre-existing mold infestations could be behind the walls, under the floors, or above the ceilings.
What you need to know about mold
Mold needs only moisture, temperatures above 40 °F (4 °C), and organic material to survive. Mold can grow in 24-48 hours, preferring areas with no sunlight, limited airflow, and little disruption.
Professional Builder Magazine warns that mold will dramatically lower the value of your home. A home worth $250,000 can easily have $100,000 in mold problems and will be challenging to sell at any price. Additionally, mold can lead to severe structural damage to your home.</
Mold can grow in fiberglass insulation, on top of ceiling tiles, inside ducts, behind drywall panels, in wall cavities, and behind wallpaper. Even when visible, it's often impossible (even for an expert) to tell the difference between mold, soot, and dirt without testing. The mold is just the beginning; some are extremely hard to find!
Bleach and detergent are useful for removing mold on nonporous surfaces. However, materials such as ceiling tiles, carpeting, and wallboard will have deep mold penetration and may need to be replaced. Removed mold will regrow if all sources of moisture and humidity are not eliminated.
It only takes 3-5 mold spores to cause an allergic reaction, and some molds contain mycotoxins that are carcinogenic or deadly. Vibrations and movement will cause mold to release its spores; it's easy to accidentally knock hundreds of thousands of spores loose from a single patch of mold! And that's just a drop in the bucket: Research has shown that up to one billion mold spores can be found in just one square foot of drywall!
