The job starts before the call.
Almost nobody goes into their crawl space. Homeowners notice the symptoms upstairs instead: a musty smell, floors that feel soft or bouncy, cold floors in winter, more bugs than usual, or humidity that never goes away. Many first hear about it from a home inspector during a sale. They don't know what an encapsulation is, why it costs what it does, or whether they really need it, so they want someone to show them what's down there. They tend to book whoever explains it simply, answers quickly and can get out to look this week, and many ask about financing before the inspector leaves the driveway.
