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.

Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Second time using them for a different property. Same great mold removal service both times.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Cherry Valley, CA homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Cherry Valley tends to start the same way mold does across Riverside County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Nicklin, Beaumont, Calimesa Mobile Home Ranch and the rest of Cherry Valley call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Cherry Valley 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 Mentone, about 20 minutes from our Mentone base, so we can usually reach a Cherry Valley 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 Cherry Valley, CA: 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.
Do I need to leave my Cherry Valley home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Cherry Valley home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Cherry Valley?
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 Cherry Valley claim moves.
Do you serve Cherry Valley?
Yes. We cover all of Cherry Valley, including Nicklin, Beaumont, Calimesa Mobile Home Ranch, and the rest of the Cherry Valley area. We are based in Mentone, about 20 minutes from our Mentone base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
