Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to increased humidity, mold growth, pest infestations, and structural damage. Studies indicate that unsealed crawlspaces can cause indoor humidity levels to rise by up to 50 percent, fostering mold and dust mite proliferation. Over time, moisture-related issues can result in costly repairs and health problems for occupants.
