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
Rated 4.9 by Stonington-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.
Professional job on the attic mold. Price was a bit higher than the first quote, but no regrets.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Stonington, CT homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Stonington tends to start the same way mold does across Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region: crawl spaces and sump pumps around Stonington that struggle to keep up during wet spells. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Mystic, Noank, Old Mystic and the rest of Stonington call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Stonington 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 10 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, so we can usually reach a Stonington 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 Stonington, 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.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Stonington?
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 Stonington 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.
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 Stonington home.
Do you serve Stonington?
Yes. We cover all of Stonington, including Mystic, Noank, Old Mystic, and the rest of the Stonington area. We are based in Pawcatuck, about 10 minutes from our Pawcatuck base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
