Crawlspace Encapsulation for Better Indoor Air
Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing the crawlspace with a vapor barrier and insulation to prevent moisture intrusion, improve air quality, and enhance home energy efficiency. Proper encapsulation can significantly reduce the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Encapsulation effectively prevents excess moisture from entering the crawlspace, reducing mold growth and structural damage.
Sealing the crawlspace helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, lowering energy costs and improving comfort.
Reducing mold and dust mites in the crawlspace can improve indoor air quality and reduce allergy symptoms.
