Crawl space encapsulation
Do you need crawl space encapsulation? Here's what you need to look out for...
What You See:
Moisture Accumulation: Visible signs of moisture, such as dampness, condensation, or standing water in your crawl space, indicate a need for encapsulation to prevent mold and structural damage.
Musty Odors: Persistent musty smells emanating from your crawl space can signify mold or mildew growth due to excess moisture.
Pest Infestation: Frequent occurrences of pests, such as insects or rodents, in your crawl space suggest that it is not properly sealed.
Cold Floors Above: If the floors above your crawl space are unusually cold, it may be a sign that the area lacks proper insulation and encapsulation.
High Energy Bills: Inadequate insulation in your crawl space can lead to increased heating and cooling costs, indicating a need for encapsulation to improve energy efficiency.
Sagging Floors: Uneven or sagging floors above the crawl space may indicate structural issues caused by moisture and poor support, which can be addressed through encapsulation.
