Crawl space encapsulation has many benefits. Encapsulating your crawl space can provide cleaner indoor air. Since no toxic gases or musty smells are entering your home, everyone can breathe much easier.
Encapsulation together with a proper dehumidifier can help you create an energy-efficient home, reducing your monthly energy bill since the temperature in the living space and the crawl space will be the same. This means less power consumption and a lower utility bill at the end of the month.
Encapsulation also takes care of any mold and fungus by removing humidity and dampness that is commonly a problem under your house. Because the crawl space is sealed, water and moisture won’t penetrate the living space above and trigger mold growth.
Furthermore, if you let your crawlspace continue to remain damp and humid you can run into structural issues such as rotten wood joists or rust and cracks on walls. Left unchecked, these structure problems can make your home a dangerous place to live.
Don’t get caught of guard when you notice mold or damp floors and walls in a living space. It might not be too late to reverse the damage caused by high moisture levels. Encapsulate your crawl space and you will not have to deal with terrible effects caused by a humid and damp crawlspace.
