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 Wildwood Lake, TN homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Wildwood Lake tends to start the same way mold does across Bradley County: roof and plumbing leaks in Wildwood Lake homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Bennett Acres, South Cleveland, Cleveland and the rest of Wildwood Lake call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Wildwood Lake 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 Mc Donald, about 15 minutes from our Mc Donald base, so we can usually reach a Wildwood Lake 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 Wildwood Lake, TN: 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 Wildwood Lake 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.
Do I need to leave my Wildwood Lake home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Wildwood Lake home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Wildwood Lake?
Yes. We cover all of Wildwood Lake, including Bennett Acres, South Cleveland, Cleveland, and the rest of the Wildwood Lake area. We are based in Mc Donald, about 15 minutes from our Mc Donald base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
