Reliable Crawlspace Encapsulation for Better Air Quality
Encapsulation prevents moisture infiltration, reducing the risk of mold growth and wood rot that can compromise the foundation.
Sealing the crawlspace minimizes air leaks, leading to lower heating and cooling costs.
A sealed environment deters pests and rodents from entering the crawlspace area.
Reducing mold and dust mites improves indoor air quality and promotes healthier living conditions.

Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to serious issues including mold growth, structural damage, and increased energy bills. Moisture intrusion can cause wood rot and attract pests, which may compromise the integrity of the home. Studies show that properly encapsulated crawlspaces can reduce energy costs by up to 15 percent and eliminate common sources of indoor air pollution.
