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.

We had mold after a slow leak under the sink. They inspected it, explained the plan, and left the space dry and clean.
Very thorough mold inspection. They explained the lab results in plain words and gave us a fair quote.

Crawl Space Encapsulation for Four Lakes, WA homes

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Hayford, Medical Lake, Scribner and the rest of Four Lakes call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Four Lakes 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 Nine Mile Falls, about 25 minutes from our Nine Mile Falls base, so we can usually reach a Four Lakes 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 Four Lakes, 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 Four Lakes?
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 Four Lakes 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 Four Lakes home.
Do you serve Four Lakes?
Yes. We cover all of Four Lakes, including Hayford, Medical Lake, Scribner, and the rest of the Four Lakes area. We are based in Nine Mile Falls, about 25 minutes from our Nine Mile Falls base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
