Increase Your Home’s Value with Crawl Space Encapsulation

October 10th, 2023

Are you planning on selling your house? Does your house have a crawl space system? If so, you must read this blog post. Now, don’t be alarmed! We are not saying that having a crawl space system is wrong. Having a crawl space system allows you to have extra space in your house for storage and housing other critical systems, such as HVAC, plumbing, and more. Instead, we will tell you why crawl space encapsulation can greatly increase your home’s value when you sell it.

Crawl Space System

• Moisture Control

Crawl space systems are notorious and vulnerable to accumulating moisture, thus causing a host of problems for the house. Crawl space encapsulation can prevent moisture accumulation in the space, thus preventing the rotting of wood and other moisture-related problems.

• Improve Energy Efficiency

You certainly don’t want to pay heavy energy bills. But lack of crawl space encapsulation can increase energy bills as it will take longer to reach optimal temperature in your house. And you will run your AC longer, thus increasing your bills.

Crawl space encapsulation reduces the chances of temperature fluctuations, thus maintaining your house at optimal temperature without running your AC longer and thus reducing energy bills.

Wet Basement Waterproofing

• Improve Indoor Air Quality

Musty and unpleasant odors can make it difficult to breathe. Moreover, airborne pathogens such as fungal spores, dust, and more can cause several upper respiratory problems. However, when you employ crawl space encapsulation and wet basement waterproofing, it will reduce the growth of mold and mildew, thus improving indoor air quality drastically.

• Reduce Structural Damage

Another major benefit of crawl space encapsulation is to reduce structural damage to your house. When the crawl space contains moisture, it can seep into the house structure. This can cause rotting of the structure, causing damage. Crawl space encapsulation creates a layer of protection and reduces the water and moisture seepage into the house structure. This reduces the structural damage to your house.

• Increased Interest from Buyers

When you are selling your house, you want increased interest from buyers. Crawl space encapsulation can bring this increased interest from buyers to your house. In fact, buyers will be willing to pay a higher price for a house that has crawl space encapsulation, wet basement waterproofing, and foundation waterproofing.
