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.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Aurora, IL homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Aurora tends to start the same way mold does across Kane County: roof and plumbing leaks in Aurora homes that feed hidden mold for months before anyone notices. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Montgomery, North Aurora, Boulder Hill and the rest of Aurora call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Aurora 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 Clarendon Hills, about 30 minutes from our Clarendon Hills base, so we can usually reach a Aurora 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 Aurora, IL: 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.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Aurora?
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 Aurora claim moves.
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 Aurora to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Kane County.
Do you serve Aurora?
Yes. We cover all of Aurora, including Montgomery, North Aurora, Boulder Hill, and the rest of the Aurora area. We are based in Clarendon Hills, about 30 minutes from our Clarendon Hills base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
