Upgrade Your Crawlspace for Better Home Performance
Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing and insulating the crawlspace to prevent moisture intrusion, improve air quality, and enhance energy efficiency. Properly encapsulated crawlspaces can significantly reduce the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable home environment.
Encapsulation creates a barrier against ground moisture, preventing mold and mildew formation that can compromise structural integrity and indoor air quality.
Reducing mold and dust mites in the crawlspace minimizes airborne allergens, promoting better respiratory health inside the home.
