When your crawlspace is wet, you’re undermining the foundation of your home. That’s why your gutters are made for moving water away from your house. But your gutters aren’t very helpful if your crawlspace is always wet. To keep your foundation’s soil dry, you want to encapsulate your crawlspace.
Less Mold and Fewer Pests
Mildew and mold love wet areas. If you want to make sure that you are having fewer problems with mildew and mold growth, then you want to make sure that your crawlspace is dry. If you’ve found mildew in the crawlspace, it can easily spread through the house.
Not only that, but you also may find that you are having termites because of damp wood and moisture issues. If you have ever known of anyone with termites, you know that they can cause a huge problem.
It Can Save Money
Encapsulating your crawlspace can also help you save money. Adding some air conditioning and insulation to the crawlspace is going to help you with saving money during the summer when the weather is hot.
These are three big reasons why you want to consider crawlspace encapsulation for your home. It can help your home’s foundation to be a lot stronger and it can help you with keeping mildew, mold, and pests out of your home.
