Neglecting crawlspace encapsulation can lead to significant issues such as increased energy bills, mold growth, and structural damage due to moisture infiltration. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to indoor humidity levels exceeding recommended standards, fostering mold and dust mites that impact health. Additionally, pests can easily access unprotected crawlspaces, leading to infestations and damage.
