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.

Rated 4.9 by Ledyard-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Our home inspection flagged mold. These folks remediated it and gave us the clearance letter we needed to close.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Ledyard, CT homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Ledyard tends to start the same way mold does across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Gales Ferry, Mashantucket, Old Mystic and the rest of Ledyard call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Ledyard 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 Pawcatuck, about 20 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so we can usually reach a Ledyard home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
Ledyard specifics
Why Ledyard homes need Crawl Space Encapsulation
For a home in this area, crawl space encapsulation starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold. When people here search for Crawl Space Encapsulation, the growth they can see is usually the last symptom, not the cause. We keep Crawl Space Encapsulation contained and tidy, so the rest of the home near Old Mystic stays livable while we work. By the time a family calls us for Crawl Space Encapsulation, they have usually already seen a musty smell or a spreading stain.
Around here, crawl space encapsulation tends to settle into the crawl space floor and walls before anyone in the house notices it.

Older and newer homes alike need Crawl Space Encapsulation, from the newer builds near Montville Center to the oldest ones in town.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Ledyard, CT: 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.
How soon can you start crawl space encapsulation in Ledyard?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Ledyard home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
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.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Ledyard?
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 Ledyard claim moves.
Do you serve Ledyard?
Yes. We cover all of Ledyard, including Gales Ferry, Mashantucket, Old Mystic, and the rest of the Ledyard area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 20 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
