ENVIROSHIELD
For those seeking an effective and affordable mold remediation method that eliminates persistent, foul-smelling spores without breaking the bank, EnviroShield’s unique Enviro-MT™ coating is the solution you’ve been looking for. The process of mold removal can be costly and time-consuming, especially when it involves the extensive work of removing and replacing walls or floors damaged by flooding, high humidity, or unnoticed leaks over time.
The patented Enviro-MT™ coating can be applied to almost any mold-affected surface, even those that are still damp, effectively sealing off the existing mold colony. This approach goes beyond the temporary fixes offered by bleach and other surface treatments that may kill mold but fail to prevent future growth. With this innovative coating, you’re not just eradicating mold; you’re also protecting against future infestations. This means long-term mold control is achievable with far less effort and cost, particularly in areas like basements where mold tends to recur, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment.

CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION
Crawl space encapsulation is a process that involves sealing off the crawl space beneath a home to protect it from moisture, pests, and temperature fluctuations. This is done by covering the ground and walls with a durable vapor barrier, typically made from thick plastic sheeting, and sealing any vents or gaps that allow outside air to enter. Some systems also include insulation and a dehumidifier to control humidity levels. Encapsulation helps to prevent mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage caused by excess moisture, while also improving indoor air quality and energy efficiency by reducing the exchange of air between the crawl space and the home.
Encapsulation is basically sticking a plastic bag inside of a wet box. Crawl space encapsulation doesn’t stop moisture from forming in your crawl space. All it does is hold in any moisture that forms inside the encapsulation and hide all of the moisture damage that is happening on your crawl space walls. On top of all the damage it can do to your crawl space encapsulated crawl spaces also form a sickly, strong ammonia smell that will eventually make its way inside the home. The only benefit to crawl space encapsulation is that it gives any contractor working in your crawl space a clean environment to work in.

ABOUT US
Growing up in Louisiana gave our owner, Mike, firsthand experience about the problems that can be experienced with moisture issues. The low water table and severe storms make many parts of the state rather soggy. Mike saw his family home flooded several times, and that led to him having a keen interest in waterproofing.
