What is the typical project timeline?
Duration varies with square footage and the extent of remediation needed, though most projects are completed within a few days.
How is a crawl space evaluated for encapsulation?
Signs like a dirt floor, persistent musty odors, or visible growth are indicators. An inspection with moisture meters provides a definitive assessment.

The line is answered 24/7, and a crew can usually reach a Wequetequock home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
