Contain
The access is sealed from the living space and placed under negative air pressure before any mold-affected materials are disturbed.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Lyman, SC: common questions
Is mold removed before encapsulation?
Yes. Active growth is removed and framing is cleaned and treated to the IICRC S520 standard before the vapor barrier is installed.
How long does encapsulation take?
Timing varies with square footage, height, and remediation needs, though most projects are completed within a few days.
Is my crawl space suitable for encapsulation?
Crawl spaces with dirt floors, recurring moisture, musty odors, or visible mold are typical candidates, confirmed by inspection with moisture meters.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Lyman?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. Insurance is accepted, and the contractor works with your carrier and documents the loss so the Lyman claim keeps moving.
Does encapsulation affect radon mitigation?
No. The barrier is installed around existing vent piping and suction points, and the system is verified operational upon completion.
Does encapsulation prevent mold from returning?
It addresses the ground moisture that causes most recurring growth. Separate issues like plumbing leaks require their own repairs.
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 Lyman home.
Do you serve Lyman?
Yes. Local contractors cover all of Lyman, including Duncan, Wellford, Startex, and the rest of the Lyman area. The line is answered around the clock, and a visit is often set the same day you call.
