Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Shark River Hills, NJ: 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 Shark River Hills 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.
How soon can you start crawl space encapsulation in Shark River Hills?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Shark River Hills home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Shark River Hills?
Yes. We cover all of Shark River Hills, including Neptune City, Avon-by-the-Sea, Belmar, and the rest of the Shark River Hills area. We are based in Manasquan, about 10 minutes from our Manasquan base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
