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.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Berkley-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
Very knowledgeable about mold types. The lab identified it, they removed it, and re-tested to confirm.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Berkley, MA homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Berkley tends to start the same way mold does across Bristol County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Dighton, Assonet, Taunton and the rest of Berkley call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Berkley 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 East Freetown, about 15 minutes from our East Freetown base, so we can usually reach a Berkley 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 Berkley, MA: 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 Berkley?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Berkley 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.
Is the crawl space encapsulation you do in Berkley to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Bristol County.
Do you serve Berkley?
Yes. We cover all of Berkley, including Dighton, Assonet, Taunton, and the rest of the Berkley area. We are based in East Freetown, about 15 minutes from our East Freetown base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
