Comparison of an unsealed versus encapsulated crawlspace.
Failing to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to serious issues such as mold growth, pest infestations, and structural deterioration. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces are responsible for up to 50% of indoor air quality problems in homes. Moisture intrusion can also cause wood rot and compromise the foundation, resulting in costly repairs. Conversely, encapsulation can reduce humidity levels by up to 50%, significantly decreasing mold risk and improving comfort.
