Good to know

Is existing mold removed before encapsulation?

The timeline varies based on the square footage, site conditions, and any necessary remediation work, with most projects completed within several days.

It eliminates the primary moisture source from the ground that causes most recurring problems, though separate issues like plumbing leaks must still be addressed.
