Reliable Crawlspace Sealing Services
Encapsulation seals out excess moisture that can lead to mold growth and wood rot, protecting the structural integrity of the home.
A sealed crawlspace reduces energy loss, lowering utility bills by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
Reducing mold and dust mites in the crawlspace improves indoor air quality, benefiting respiratory health.

Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to serious issues such as increased mold growth, wood rot, pest infestations, and higher energy costs. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to indoor humidity levels exceeding recommended standards by up to 30 percent, fostering mold and dust mite proliferation. Additionally, homes with unencapsulated crawlspaces often experience higher heating and cooling costs, sometimes by as much as 15 percent annually.
