Our crawl space had a musty smell for as long as we've owned the house. The team removed the mold that was there and encapsulated the whole space, and they were careful to work around our radon vent pipe the whole time.

Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
They found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.

Crawl Space Encapsulation for Fairchild Air Force Base, WA homes

We handle crawl space encapsulation for Fairchild Air Force Base the right way. We find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then we contain the area and remove the mold safely.
Our team is based in Mead, about 30 minutes from our Mead base, so we can usually reach a Fairchild Air Force Base home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Fairchild Air Force Base, WA: common questions
Do you remove existing mold before encapsulating?
Yes, encapsulating over active mold growth doesn't solve the problem. We remove and treat existing mold first, then install the vapor barrier.
How long does crawl space encapsulation take?
It depends on the size of the crawl space and how much remediation is needed first, but most projects are completed within a few days.
Is my crawl space a good candidate for encapsulation?
Dirt crawl spaces with recurring moisture, musty odors, or visible mold on framing are typically good candidates. We can assess yours during an inspection.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Fairchild Air Force Base?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Fairchild Air Force Base claim moves.
Will encapsulation affect my radon mitigation system?
No, we coordinate the vapor barrier installation carefully around existing radon vent piping so the system continues working as intended.
Does encapsulation stop mold from coming back?
It significantly reduces the ground moisture that feeds mold growth, which is the main reason crawl spaces develop recurring problems.
Do I need to leave my Fairchild Air Force Base home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Fairchild Air Force Base home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Fairchild Air Force Base?
Yes. We cover all of Fairchild Air Force Base, including Fairchild, Airway Heights, Deep Creek, and the rest of the Fairchild Air Force Base area. We are based in Mead, about 30 minutes from our Mead base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
