“My husband and I noticed mold on a couple of different spots on a baseboard and outlet plugs that were below some windows. We remembered having a great experience from a few years back with Mike Wotruba at CCS about an issue we had going on in our basement, so we gave him a call right away.”
Mold encapsulation in Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin
Mold encapsulation seals cleaned surfaces with an antimicrobial coating so remaining stains and spores can't release or regrow. CCS uses it as the last step of remediation in attics, crawlspaces and basements, never as a shortcut that paints over active mold.

What mold encapsulation customers say
4.9 stars across 113 Google reviews from homeowners, landlords, realtors and businesses in Northeast Wisconsin.
“We recently had our roof done and I wanted a second pair of eyes to ensure no mold was present due to having leaks for some time. Mike Wotruba showed up thankfully after roofing rescheduled twice and he was so accommodating. Super helpful with questions and went above and beyond for me. Highly recommend this company as they are very responsive and thorough.”
“I had, what I consider, to be a decent mold problem in my basement. I was unsure of who I should call, so I decided to read the reviews posted by other people that used CCS Property Services to see if they would be a good fit.”

How it works

We confirm the wood or surface is sound and find the moisture source.
Fix and clean
The moisture problem is fixed, then the surface is cleaned and treated.
Encapsulate
We apply the antimicrobial coating so the surface is sealed against regrowth.
Mold encapsulation questions, answered
What is mold encapsulation?
It's a coating applied to a cleaned surface that seals it, locking in any remaining spores and staining and resisting new growth. It's a finishing step in remediation, not a replacement for cleaning or fixing moisture.
Can you just paint over mold?
No. Coating over active mold without cleaning it and fixing the moisture traps the problem rather than solving it. Proper encapsulation comes after removal and treatment.
Where is encapsulation used most?
Attics (roof sheathing and rafters), crawlspaces, rim joists and basement walls: places where the material is structurally sound and replacing it would be costly.
Is encapsulation cheaper than removal?
For sound structural wood it usually is, because it avoids tearing out framing or sheathing. For drywall, carpet or insulation, removal is still the right answer.
