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.

Reviews

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.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Norwich, CT homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Norwich 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 Montville Center, Preston City, Oxoboxo River and the rest of Norwich call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Norwich 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 Norwich 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 Norwich, 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.
Do I need to leave my Norwich home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Norwich home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.
Is the crawl space encapsulation you do in Norwich to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region.
Do you serve Norwich?
Yes. We cover all of Norwich, including Montville Center, Preston City, Oxoboxo River, and the rest of the Norwich area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 25 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
