Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation

Crawlspace Encapsulation

Your crawlspace is a part of your home that is particularly vulnerable to moisture, humidity, and mold growth. Full crawl space encapsulations can prevent moisture build-up and improve the air quality of your home. At M.A.D. Cleaning LLC, our professional Cleveland mold inspection experts can help you encapsulate your crawlspace to guarantee that your home is kept in the best condition possible.

Many homeowners can benefit from crawlspace encapsulation, but it’s not something that all homeowners have done. Before you take on a project like this, you probably have a number of questions.

If you’re considering whether or not to have your crawl space encapsulated, take a look at some of these great benefits:

Duct Insulation

If your Cleveland home’s duct system passes through your crawlspace, then they may not be receiving the insulation that they need if your crawlspace isn’t encapsulated. Sealing your crawlspace will help to provide insulation for these ducts, which will protect them from humidity, pests, and even just the outdoor temperatures. Your duct work will exist in a conditioned space, which will help to increase your home’s energy efficiency.

Floor Insulation

Encapsulating your crawlspace will also be an excellent indirect form of insulation for your Cleveland home’s flooring. Encapsulating your crawl space will decrease the difference in the temperature between your home and the crawlspace. This decreases the amount of heat loss through your floor, which accomplish the same things as insulating your flooring. Along with making your home more energy efficient, encapsulating your crawl space will also help you control humidity and improve your air quality.

Indoor Air Quality

Encapsulating your crawlspace can help you significantly improve your home’s indoor air quality. The air that you breathe in your home will not have been exposed to moist coil, mold, animal droppings, or other contaminants that your air may come into contact with in a normal crawl space. Your crawlspace will be a clean and dry environment, and that will be very beneficial to your home’s indoor air.

Lasting Protection

Crawlspace encapsulation protects your home from humidity and moisture damage, and that can have a number of long-term benefits for your property. Your home will be comfortable, and it will have healthier air. You’ll never have to worry about mold growth in your crawl space, and your can reduce your energy bills by up to 30%.
