Neglecting crawlspace encapsulation can lead to serious issues. Unsealed crawlspaces are prone to moisture buildup, which can cause mold growth and structural damage. Studies indicate that homes with unencapsulated crawlspaces often experience higher energy bills due to heat loss. Additionally, pests such as rodents and insects are more likely to infest unsealed spaces, potentially causing health concerns and property damage.
