Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to increased energy bills, mold growth, pest infestations, and structural deterioration. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to up to 15% higher energy costs annually due to air leaks and insulation issues. Additionally, moisture-related problems can cause wood rot and promote mold, which may impact indoor air quality and occupant health.
