Failing to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to numerous issues. Moisture intrusion can cause mold growth, which may impact indoor air quality and pose health risks. Structural damage from wood rot and pest infestations can compromise the foundation's integrity. Additionally, unsealed crawlspaces often result in higher energy bills due to heat loss and drafts. Statistics indicate that encapsulation can reduce energy costs by up to 15 percent and eliminate common sources of moisture-related problems.
