Statistics indicate that unencapsulated crawlspaces can increase energy costs by up to 15% due to air leaks and moisture issues. Additionally, neglecting encapsulation can lead to mold growth in as little as 48 hours under high humidity conditions, posing health risks and structural concerns. Proper encapsulation provides an effective barrier against these problems, ensuring a healthier and more energy-efficient property.
