Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in West, TX: common questions
Is mold removed before encapsulation?
Yes. Active mold is remediated to the IICRC S520 standard before the vapor barrier is installed.
What is the typical timeline for encapsulation?
The duration varies based on the size of the space and the remediation required, but most projects are completed within several days.
Is my Whitney crawl space suitable for encapsulation?
Crawl spaces with dirt floors, persistent moisture, musty odors, or visible mold are typical candidates. An inspection can confirm suitability.
Is crawl space encapsulation in West done to a real standard?

No. The barrier is installed to detail around existing radon vent pipes and suction points.
