What sets our Crawl Space Mold Removal crew apart in Saint Charles.
Newer encapsulation methods sometimes need adapting for older foundation types. We won't apply a modern slab-home fix to a Saint Charles, IL property that needs a different approach. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Saint Charles records.
Some older crawl spaces run under 18 inches, and we're equipped for exactly that. No job gets turned away just because the clearance is tight. Our equipment is rated for the tight clearance older construction demands.
