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.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Kittery Point, ME homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Kittery Point tends to start the same way mold does across York 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 Admiralty Village, Kittery, South Eliot and the rest of Kittery Point call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Kittery Point 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 York, about 10 minutes from our York base, so we can usually reach a Kittery Point home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.
Kittery Point specifics
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Kittery Point: what actually causes it
The reason Crawl Space Encapsulation comes up so often here is simple: older Kittery Point homes with finished basements and low ventilation, working on local homes month after month. Crawl Space Encapsulation is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Kittery Point. For a home in this area, crawl space encapsulation starts with finding the moisture, because the water is what feeds the mold. By the time a family calls us for Crawl Space Encapsulation, they have usually already seen a musty smell or a spreading stain.
If you have noticed a musty smell or a spreading stain in your home, crawl space encapsulation is worth a call before the damp reaches the framing. Older and newer homes alike need Crawl Space Encapsulation, from the newer builds near South Eliot to the oldest ones in town. Most Crawl Space Encapsulation jobs in the area trace back to air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls, a pattern we see week after week. Around here, crawl space encapsulation tends to settle into the crawl space floor and walls before anyone in the house notices it.
Here is how Crawl Space Encapsulation usually goes:
- Remove moldy material to the IICRC S520 standard
- Contain the space under negative air with HEPA filtration
- Stop the water source so the problem does not come back
- HEPA vacuum, clean, and treat the surrounding surfaces
- Recheck the space and document the work for your records
Because our crew works about 10 minutes from our York base, you usually get a same-day look for crawl space encapsulation.
Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Kittery Point, ME: 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 soon can you start crawl space encapsulation in Kittery Point?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Kittery Point home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
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 Kittery Point home.
Do you serve Kittery Point?
Yes. We cover all of Kittery Point, including Admiralty Village, Kittery, South Eliot, and the rest of the Kittery Point area. We are based in York, about 10 minutes from our York base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
