This crawlspace was already encapsulated, but over time, encapsulations can become damaged, torn, or compromised. That’s why it’s important to have your crawlspace checked regularly. On this job, the existing encapsulation was no longer doing its job, so our team is removing it and redoing the encapsulation to properly protect the crawlspace from moisture and future issues.

When we’re working in a home that people are still living in, safety goes beyond just protecting our crew. On this job, there were sharp edges on the tile that could easily cause someone to get cut, so we taped them off to help prevent anyone from getting hurt. Even though we’re there to do the work, we also want to make sure the homeowners and anyone else in the home can safely move around while the job is being completed. It’s the little extra steps that help keep everyone safe.
