Proper encapsulation can significantly reduce the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations, which are common issues in unsealed crawlspaces.
Encapsulating a crawlspace reduces mold spores and allergens, leading to better indoor air quality and a healthier living environment.

Failing to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to increased moisture levels, which promote mold growth and wood decay. Studies show that unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to indoor humidity levels exceeding recommended standards, leading to discomfort and potential health issues. Additionally, unprotected crawlspaces are more susceptible to pest invasions and structural deterioration, which can result in costly repairs over time.
