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.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for New London, CT homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in New London tends to start the same way mold does across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Groton, Central Waterford, Waterford and the rest of New London call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for New London 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 25 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so we can usually reach a New London home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Why New London homes need Crawl Space Encapsulation
A New London home that needs Crawl Space Encapsulation almost always has a moisture story behind it, and it usually starts with heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces.

We keep Crawl Space Encapsulation contained and tidy, so the rest of the home near Montville Center stays livable while we work.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in New London, 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 do you keep the mold from coming back after crawl space encapsulation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a New London home.
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 New London?
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 New London claim moves.
Do you serve New London?
Yes. We cover all of New London, including Groton, Central Waterford, Waterford, and the rest of the New London area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 25 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
