Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to severe issues such as increased energy bills, mold growth, and structural damage. Studies indicate that encapsulation can reduce energy costs by up to 15-20% and decrease humidity levels, which minimizes mold and pest problems. Without proper sealing, moisture can penetrate the crawlspace, leading to costly repairs and health concerns.
