Why should you encapsulate your crawl space?
Homes in rainy or humid climates are especially at risk for the many forms of water damage, including…
- Dry rot
- Mold, mildew, and fungi
- Flooding
- Musty odors
Additionally, encapsulating your crawl space can help prevent foundation cracks, sweating windows, pests, insects, and high energy costs.
Crawl space encapsulation will protect your home (and your investment) for years to come, giving you peace of mind that you and your home are safe.
What are the other benefits of crawl space encapsulation?
Â
In addition to protecting your home from water damage, mold, mildew, and structural damage from dry rot, encapsulating your crawl space has the following benefits:
Improved air quality
This is especially important if someone in your home has breathing problems. But anyone can suffer from breathing contaminated air resulting from mold spores. Protect yourself and your loved ones from respiratory illness from mold and mildew growth under your home.
Structural integrity
Aside from preventing dry rot that can weaken your home’s wood support beams, sealing your crawl space can also prevent other pests like termites or carpenter ants from damaging your home’s structural integrity.
More comfortable indoor environment
Reducing moisture underneath your house can also reduce excess moisture inside your house, making a more comfortable place to live. Your home will also stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Increased energy efficiency
Sealing your home from underneath will also help you save on heating and cooling costs each month. Crawl space encapsulation seals your home from moisture and the elements from outside while keeping your home’s interior a comfortable temperature without going over budget each month.
Additional storage
With an encapsulated crawl space, you can use the space under your house for storage without worrying about things getting ruined from moisture or pests.
