My home has no slab floor and no ventilation under house, Mold has been festering under me for 7 years,they are finally giving out, I will need all new floors throughout home and the mold that is on what little foundation I have needs cleaned and prevent from coming back, maybe a barrier of some sort should lay on the dirt floor 3 feet below.

Basement Mold Removal
The basement is the most unfinished area in the house. It has very little heat, and tends to have a lot of junk. Conditions can be made damp by the water from a leaky pipe. All these come together to create perfect conditions for mold spores to take root and grow unfettered. Another factor that contributes to the growth of mold in basements is the lack of natural ventilation. Stale air full of contaminants and moisture continues to circulate inside the basement making it prone to mold.
Mold removal in your basement is very important because the spores in the basement can easily spread to other parts of your home. The vents and ducts of your HVAC system are able to draw in these spores, and release them into the upstairs environment. These spores freely disperse into the air, and over a period off time, you will find that you suffer from asthma and other allergic reactions and respiratory disorders more frequently than before. Make sure that you have adequate artificial ventilation in your basement like air conditioners and ceiling fans. Don't let water accumulate anywhere in the basement -- if there are wet patches on carpets or furniture, get rid off these. If there are leaky pipes in the basement, get these fixed immediately.
If you notice mold in the basement, don't try to scrub off the spores or wash them with detergent. Scrubbing only shakes the spores free, and detergents are completely useless on mold and mildew.
