Your crawlspace is often dark, small, and kind of claustrophobic, which is why there is a good chance you do not spend a lot of time in it. Crawlspaces make excellent places for storage, but they also can be a breeding ground for mold, which is usually caused by moisture. Mold can make you and your family sick if it is not taken care if quickly. But since most people do not check their crawlspaces for mold on a regular basis, crawlspace encapsulation can help you solve the threat of mold once and for all.
Moisture is usually a problem in crawlspaces. Water can seep in or can even condense on the walls and cause mold to grow. Not only is this dangerous to your health, but it can also ruin the items that you have stored in your crawlspace. These can be expensive to replace. Crawlspace encapsulation can eliminate the moisture, therefore preventing mold from growing. Your family can stay healthy and you will not have to worry about hidden moisture and mold in your crawlspace.
Flooding can also become a problem in crawlspaces if they are not properly sealed. Flooding can damage items you have stored, as well. Water from a flood can also leak into other parts of your home and cause damage to walls, flooring, furniture, and cabinets. Replacing these things can cost a lot of money. Crawlspace encapsulation includes figuring out how the water is getting in and fixing the problem. Cracks will be sealed and water sources can be fixed so they are not entering your crawlspace.
