Is Crawl Space Encapsulation Worth The Cost?
Without a doubt, encapsulating your crawl space is the most cost-effective way to prevent problems caused by Alabama’s hot and humid summers. High humidity, standing water, wood rot, pests, sagging floors, and mold are common issues for an unprotected crawl space. Encapsulation is the only proven way to protect your crawl space and maintain a healthy home.
Is Your Crawl Space At Risk?
Here Are Some Common Crawl Space Problems:
Sagging Floors:
Sagging floors can be a sign that the foundation or support beams in your crawl space are compromised, often due to moisture from Alabama’s hot and humid summers.
Water Damage:
Watermarks or damaged wood in your crawl space indicate moisture intrusion. This can lead to structural issues and is a clear sign that protective measures are needed.
Musty or Stale Air:
A musty smell from below suggests the presence of mold or mildew in your crawl space, often due to high humidity or standing water.
High Humidity:
If the indoor air feels humid even with proper ventilation, it might indicate excessive moisture in your crawl space, which can affect the overall comfort of your home.
High Energy Bills:
Unexpectedly high energy bills can be a sign that your crawl space is not insulated properly, causing your HVAC system to work harder to regulate temperatures.
Mold Exposure:
Health issues like breathing problems or allergies can be exacerbated by mold exposure from an unprotected crawl space. It’s crucial to ensure the space is dry and clean.
