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 Des Peres, MO homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Des Peres tends to start the same way mold does across Saint Louis County: air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Crystal Lake Park, Huntleigh, Town and Country and the rest of Des Peres call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Des Peres 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 Valley Park, about 10 minutes from our Valley Park base, so we can usually reach a Des Peres 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 Des Peres, MO: 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.
Is the crawl space encapsulation you do in Des Peres to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Saint Louis County.
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 soon can you start crawl space encapsulation in Des Peres?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Des Peres home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
Do you serve Des Peres?
Yes. We cover all of Des Peres, including Crystal Lake Park, Huntleigh, Town and Country, and the rest of the Des Peres area. We are based in Valley Park, about 10 minutes from our Valley Park base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
