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.

Professional from start to finish. They handled the insurance side and made a stressful week much easier for our family.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Bassett, WI homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Bassett tends to start the same way mold does across Kenosha County: bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms in Bassett where everyday humidity has nowhere to go. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Twin Lakes, Wilmot, Powers Lake and the rest of Bassett call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Bassett 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 Genoa City, about 10 minutes from our Genoa City base, so we can usually reach a Bassett 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 Bassett, WI: 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 Bassett?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Bassett 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.
Do I need to leave my Bassett home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Bassett home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
Do you serve Bassett?
Yes. We cover all of Bassett, including Twin Lakes, Wilmot, Powers Lake, and the rest of the Bassett area. We are based in Genoa City, about 10 minutes from our Genoa City base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
