If you’ve ever had mold or water damage in your home, you know how frustrating it can be to deal with. Reducing the risk of moisture damage and mold growth can be as simple as encapsulating your crawlspace. Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing off your crawlspace to reduce moisture. As crawlspaces are beneath the main level of your residential or commercial property, problems in the area may go undetected for months. However, excessive moisture can cause serious damage to your property.
Encapsulating your crawlspace is one of the best solutions for reducing the risk of indoor moisture problems. Crawlspace encapsulation is a great way to control the humidity level in your home and reduce problems. Some of the ways to tell that your crawlspace needs to be sealed are if you have previously dealt with mold and mildew problems in your home, you have wet insulation, there is condensation on the windows, or your home smells musty. If you notice any of these signs, your home will benefit from crawlspace encapsulation.
Most of the airflow in your home comes from your crawlspace, which is why it is crucial to keep it as clean and dry as possible. Adding a protective barrier to the crawlspace can help prevent moisture from getting into the air and can improve air quality in your home. Adding crawlspace encapsulation to your home is a great way to improve the air quality, reduce mold and structural issues, and improve the energy efficiency of your home.
