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.

Crawl Space Encapsulation for Kelley Town, TN homes

When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Allingham, Tupper Town, Scandlyn and the rest of Kelley Town call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Kelley Town 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 Oliver Springs, about 5 minutes from our Oliver Springs base, so we can usually reach a Kelley Town 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 Kelley Town, TN: 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 Kelley Town home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Kelley Town 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 Kelley Town?
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 Kelley Town claim moves.
Do you serve Kelley Town?
Yes. We cover all of Kelley Town, including Allingham, Tupper Town, Scandlyn, and the rest of the Kelley Town area. We are based in Oliver Springs, about 5 minutes from our Oliver Springs base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
