Rated 4.9 by Ronkonkoma-area neighbors
The crew showed up on time, contained the work area, and showed me the moisture readings before and after. Tidy, careful work.
They found black mold behind our bathroom wall and had it removed the same week. Clean, fast, and professional.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Ronkonkoma, 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.
Do I need to leave my Ronkonkoma home during the work?
Usually no. We seal the work area under negative air, so most of the Ronkonkoma home stays livable. For larger jobs we will tell you if it is better to step out for a day.
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.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Ronkonkoma?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Ronkonkoma claim moves.
Do you serve Ronkonkoma?
Yes. We cover all of Ronkonkoma, including Lake Ronkonkoma, Islandia, Nesconset, and the rest of the Ronkonkoma area. We are based in Bohemia, about 5 minutes from our Bohemia base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
