Not having a properly encapsulated crawlspace can lead to significant issues. Unsealed crawlspaces are prone to moisture buildup, which can cause mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. These problems not only compromise the structural integrity of the foundation but also deteriorate indoor air quality, potentially leading to respiratory issues and allergies. Additionally, moisture infiltration can increase energy costs by making heating and cooling systems work harder to maintain comfort levels.
