Mold Resistant Encapsulation
Mold resistant encapsulation applies a specialized coating to cleaned and dried surfaces, such as framing, sheathing, or masonry. It seals the surface and adds resistance to future growth.
The problem

Encapsulation is not a shortcut. It does not replace removal or fix moisture problems. Used after proper remediation, it can help in areas that are prone to humidity, such as attics, crawl spaces, and basements.
Signs to watch for
- Freshly remediated attics, crawl spaces, or basements
- Framing with residual staining after cleaning
- Areas with seasonal humidity
- Before closing walls during restoration
