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 5 by Hicksville-area neighbors
Fast to respond and easy to reach. The technicians were tidy, respectful of our home, and explained what caused the growth so it would not come back.
The mold cleanup itself was great. The only hiccup was a reschedule due to weather.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Hicksville, NY homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Hicksville tends to start the same way mold does across Nassau County: humid seasons that keep indoor moisture high for weeks at a time. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Jericho, New Cassel, Salisbury and the rest of Hicksville call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Hicksville 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 Oyster Bay, about 10 minutes from our Oyster Bay base, so we can usually reach a Hicksville home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

Most Crawl Space Encapsulation jobs in the area trace back to air conditioning condensation feeding mold on cool basement and closet walls, a pattern we see week after week.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Hicksville, NY: 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 Hicksville?
We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Hicksville 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 Hicksville to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Nassau County.
Do you serve Hicksville?
Yes. We cover all of Hicksville, including Jericho, New Cassel, Salisbury, and the rest of the Hicksville area. We are based in Oyster Bay, about 10 minutes from our Oyster Bay base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
