Remove

Seal
A reinforced vapor barrier is installed over the soil and up the foundation walls, with seams and penetrations sealed to form a continuous membrane.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Longmont, CO homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Longmont tends to start the same way mold does across Boulder County: spring snowmelt and storm water seeping into basements and crawl spaces through foundation cracks. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Niwot, Mead, Gunbarrel and the rest of Longmont pick up the phone.
Crawl space encapsulation for Longmont is handled the right way. The technicians find and fix the moisture source first, because mold always returns if the water problem is left behind, then the area is contained and the mold is removed safely.
Longmont is about 10 miles from Dacono, so a crew can usually be there the same day you call. The methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Longmont, CO: common questions
Is existing mold remediated before encapsulation?
Yes. Sealing over active mold is ineffective. Contaminated materials are removed and framing is cleaned and treated to IICRC S520 standards before the vapor barrier is installed.
What is the typical timeline for encapsulation?
The duration varies based on square footage, clearance, and the extent of necessary remediation. Most projects are completed within several days.
How is it determined if a crawl space needs encapsulation?
Common indicators include dirt floors with persistent moisture, musty odors reaching living areas, or visible mold on framing. An inspection with moisture meters provides a definitive assessment.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after crawl space encapsulation?
The moisture source is fixed first, not just the mold, then the structure is dried and rechecked. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Longmont home.
Does encapsulation interfere with radon mitigation systems?
No. The barrier is carefully installed and sealed around existing radon vent piping and suction points. System operation is confirmed before completion.
Does encapsulation prevent mold from returning?
It eliminates the primary driver of repeat growth by blocking ground moisture. Separate issues like plumbing leaks or exterior grading problems require independent correction.
Do I need to leave my Longmont home during the work?
Usually no. The work area is sealed under negative air, so most of the Longmont home stays livable. On a larger job, the technician on site will say if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Longmont?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Longmont, including Niwot, Mead, Gunbarrel, and the rest of the Longmont area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
