Advantages of Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is beneficial in several different ways. Here are a few reasons it may worth the investment in your home.
Cuts Heating and Cooling Costs
Protects Structure Integrity of Your Home. Encapsulation will keep humidity levels under control and protect your foundation and wood support system in the home. Excessive moisture build-up in the crawl space can weaken load-bearing piers and foundations, compromising the house’s overall structural integrity
Helps control temperature. Passive insulation in crawl space will make your home more energy-efficient. This can lower your heating and cooling costs.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Improves Air Quality. Encapsulation removes unwanted humidity in the air therefore limiting toxins from mold or mildew to enter into your home.
Prevents Mold and Mildew Growth
Prevents Mold. Mold and other fungi thrive in dark, moist, humid places. An unsealed crawl space is an ideal habitat for fungi colonies. As mold grows, it releases dust-like spores and other micro-toxins into the air that can cause allergic reactions and respiratory illnesses. Also, mold feeds on the material it grows on, causing it to rot or wither. But eliminating moisture and keeping the air in constant circulation inside the crawl space makes the environment inhospitable to mold.
Keeps Pests Away
Prevents Rodents & Insects. Some insects and rodents such as roaches, beetles, crickets, rats, and moles like to make crawl spaces their home. The dark, humid, unkempt, rent-free environment is just what they need to catch food and reproduce. These unwelcome guests can be a threat to your home. Encapsulating the crawl space closes it off to these unwanted pests. In fact, sealing the crawl space is one of the best ways to control some household pests such as roaches and ants because that’s where they go to hide and breed.
