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.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in La Grange Park, IL: 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.
Is the crawl space encapsulation you do in La Grange Park to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Cook County.
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 La Grange Park home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the La Grange Park home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve La Grange Park?
Yes. We cover all of La Grange Park, including Brookfield, Westchester, Riverside, and the rest of the La Grange Park area. We are based in Broadview, about 5 minutes from our Broadview base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
