Encapsulation plays a crucial role in improving the conditions of a crawl space. By encapsulating the crawl space – which involves sealing it with a durable vapor barrier, covering the floor, walls, and pillars, and potentially installing a sump pump or dehumidifier – you create a moisture-resistant and controlled environment. This helps prevent moisture intrusion, reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth, improves air quality, and can contribute to energy efficiency in the home.
