What Are the Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation

July 10, 2019
How often do you think about your home’s crawlspace? If you’re anything like most homeowners, the answer is not very often. Very few people even consider their crawlspace as part of the home. However, the space underneath your house is infinitely useful. It’s great for keeping plumbing pipes and electrical wiring clutter out of the house. Unfortunately, this useful, confined space is also a breeding ground for moisture, humidity, pests, and mold spores. Before long, you’ll end up with all four inside of your home. Thankfully, it’s a problem with a solution –crawlspace encapsulation.

Crawlspace Encapsulation Benefits
A well-ventilated crawlspace can directly impact your home above in countless ways. If the work is done professionally and correctly, you’ll experience better insulation, increased comfort, and monthly savings. Here are the key benefits of crawlspace encapsulation in Central Houston.

Breathe Clean – A vented crawlspace can allow in all manner of dust, dirt, and airborne contaminants that find their way into your home. Your indoor air quality is negatively impacted, but not when the crawlspace is encapsulated. The air within is treated.

Reduced Floor Repairs – A lot of the moisture and humidity found within your home’s crawlspace will eventually cause your hardwood floor to rot and buckle. By encapsulating the space, this nasty side effect is negated altogether.

Increased Comfort – During the winter, you’ve probably noticed your floors are colder than most spots in the house. This decreased temperature is because of the crawlspace. During the summer, your home will be muggy. This is an easily resolved problem with crawlspace encapsulation.

Lower Energy Bills – As of right now, your crawlspace is likely eating away at your energy use. However, crawlspace encapsulation can save you up to 20% on your monthly energy bills.
HVAC Lifespan – An enclosed crawlspace can directly impact the lifespan of your HVAC equipment, including the air ducts. They’ll last longer.

Rebates and Tax Incentives – You can enjoy countless rebates and tax incentives for investing in crawlspace encapsulation because it increases your home’s performance and reduces waste.

Home Value – A lot of buyers are extremely interested in crawlspace encapsulation today. So much so, in fact, that they are willing to pay more when buying a home in the area with the job already done.

Mold Prevention – One of the nastiest side effects of a vented crawlspace is the moisture and humidity, which ultimately lead to mold growth that enters the home. Crawlspace encapsulation prevents mold growth and protects your home and health from pesky spores.
