Failing to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to increased energy costs, structural damage, and health issues caused by mold and pests. Unprotected crawlspaces often harbor excess moisture, which can cause wood rot and promote mold growth, impacting the integrity of the entire home. Additionally, unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to higher utility bills due to HVAC systems working harder to maintain indoor comfort.
| Benefit of Encapsulation | Impact of Not Encapsulating |
|---|---|
| Moisture Control | Increased risk of mold, wood rot, and structural damage. |
| Energy Efficiency | Higher energy bills due to heat loss and air leaks. |
| Indoor Air Quality | Elevated mold spores and dust mites affecting health. |
| Pest Prevention | Greater likelihood of pest infestations. |
| Home Value | Potential decrease due to damage and mold issues. |
| Structural Integrity | Accelerated deterioration of foundation and framing. |
