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.

Reviews

The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
The inspector used a moisture meter and thermal camera to find hidden mold. Impressive and worth every dollar.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Moreno Valley, CA homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Moreno 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 March Air Force Base, Loma Linda, Highgrove and the rest of Moreno Valley call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Moreno 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 Moreno 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 Moreno 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.
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 Moreno Valley 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.
Do I need to leave my Moreno Valley home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Moreno Valley home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Moreno Valley?
Yes. We cover all of Moreno Valley, including March Air Force Base, Loma Linda, Highgrove, and the rest of the Moreno Valley area. We are based in Mentone, about 20 minutes from our Mentone base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
