Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to numerous issues including increased energy costs, mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to up to a 15% increase in home energy bills and are a common source of indoor air quality problems. Moisture and mold in the crawlspace can also cause structural damage over time, leading to costly repairs.
