What are the benefits of crawl space encapsulation?

The EPA estimates that up to 60% of your home’s air can come from the crawl space–which is a breeding ground for indoor air contaminants–so it is recommended that a crawl space be encapsulated to ensure a healthy home. Encapsulation allows the crawl space to achieve a relative humidity of 60% that will transform a moist, unclean, and moldy crawl space into a clean, dry environment where mold cannot grow. This reduces the risk for asthma, lung cancers, insects, and rodents!

Will crawl space encapsulation increase the value of my home?

While the popular saying, “health is wealth,” cannot be overstated, there are many monetary factors to take into account when deciding to encapsulate your crawl space. When installed properly, encapsulation can help you save 5-20% in annual heating and cooling costs, increase resale value, and mitigate large repair costs. Also consider that no home buyer wants a wet, damp home with moisture and mold issues. Prevent the loss of a qualified buyer with a pristine crawl space!
