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.

Great communication from the first call. They tested the air, handled the removal, and rechecked the space before signing off.
They found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Richwood, NJ homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Richwood tends to start the same way mold does across Gloucester County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Pitman, Sewell, Glassboro and the rest of Richwood call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Richwood 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 Mantua, about 10 minutes from our Mantua base, so we can usually reach a Richwood 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 Richwood, 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.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Richwood?
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 Richwood 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.
Do I need to leave my Richwood home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Richwood home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Richwood?
Yes. We cover all of Richwood, including Pitman, Sewell, Glassboro, and the rest of the Richwood area. We are based in Mantua, about 10 minutes from our Mantua base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
