Is mold removed before encapsulation?

What is the typical project timeline?
The timeline varies based on the scope of remediation and the size of the space, but most projects are completed within several days.
How do I know if my crawl space needs encapsulation?
Common indicators include a dirt floor, persistent musty odors, or visible mold on framing. An inspection with moisture meters can provide confirmation.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in West Brookfield?
