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 4.9 by Shacklett-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
After a pipe leak we had mold in the crawl space. They sealed the area, removed the mold, and left everything spotless.

Local knowledge
Crawl Space Encapsulation for Shacklett, TN homes
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Shacklett tends to start the same way mold does across Cheatham County: plumbing leaks and poor ventilation that let damp air linger and mold spread. When that moisture sits for even a day or two, mold takes hold, and that is when homeowners from Kingston Springs, Bell Town, Craggie Hope and the rest of Shacklett call us.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Shacklett 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 Pegram, about 5 minutes from our Pegram base, so we can usually reach a Shacklett home the same day. Our methods follow public guidance from the EPA and the CDC on handling indoor mold safely.

We handle Crawl Space Encapsulation for homes from Fairview to Ashland City and the surrounding area the same careful way. Crawl Space Encapsulation is one of the more common calls we get from homeowners around Shacklett.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Shacklett, TN: 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 do you keep the mold from coming back after crawl space encapsulation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Shacklett home.
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 Shacklett to a real standard?
Yes. Our crew follows the IICRC S520 standard for mold remediation, the same framework insurers and inspectors recognize across Cheatham County.
Do you serve Shacklett?
Yes. We cover all of Shacklett, including Kingston Springs, Bell Town, Craggie Hope, and the rest of the Shacklett area. We are based in Pegram, about 5 minutes from our Pegram base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
