Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Kittery, ME: common questions
Is mold removed before encapsulation?
Yes. Active mold is remediated and framing is treated to the IICRC S520 standard before the vapor barrier is installed.
How long does the process take?
Duration varies with the size of the space and extent of remediation needed, but most projects are completed within days.
Is my crawl space suitable for encapsulation?
Crawl spaces with dirt floors, persistent moisture, musty odors, or visible mold are typical candidates. An inspection can confirm.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after crawl space encapsulation?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Kittery home.
Does encapsulation affect radon systems?
No. The barrier is installed around existing radon vent piping and suction points to preserve system operation.
Does encapsulation prevent mold from returning?
It stops the ground moisture that causes most recurring problems. Separate issues like plumbing leaks require their own repair.
Do I need to leave my Kittery home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Kittery home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Kittery?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Kittery, including Admiralty Village, Kittery Point, South Eliot, and the rest of the Kittery area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
