Crawlspace Moisture Control Experts
Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing and insulating the crawlspace to prevent moisture intrusion, improve air quality, and enhance energy efficiency. Proper encapsulation can significantly reduce mold growth, pest infestations, and structural damage caused by excess humidity.
Encapsulation effectively prevents moisture from entering the crawlspace, reducing the risk of mold and wood rot.
Sealing the crawlspace can lower heating and cooling costs by improving insulation and reducing air leaks.
Reducing mold and dust mites in the crawlspace can lead to better indoor air quality and respiratory health.

Failing to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to increased humidity levels, which may cause structural deterioration, promote mold growth, and attract pests. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces can have humidity levels exceeding 70%, creating an environment conducive to mold and bacterial growth. Additionally, unprotected crawlspaces can contribute to higher energy bills due to inefficient insulation and air leaks.
