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.

The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
Honest company. They told us the mold patch was small enough to clean ourselves and even explained how.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Bohemia, NY homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Bohemia tends to start the same way mold does across Suffolk County: heavy rain and seasonal flooding pushing water toward foundations and crawl spaces. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Sayville, West Sayville, North Great River and the rest of Bohemia call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Bohemia 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 Islip, about 10 minutes from our Islip base, so we can usually reach a Bohemia 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 Bohemia, NY: 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 Bohemia home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Bohemia 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.
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 Bohemia home.
Do you serve Bohemia?
Yes. We cover all of Bohemia, including Sayville, West Sayville, North Great River, and the rest of the Bohemia area. We are based in Islip, about 10 minutes from our Islip base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
