Neglecting crawlspace encapsulation can lead to serious issues such as mold growth, increased energy bills, pest infestations, and structural damage. Moisture infiltration promotes mold and mildew, which can cause health problems and degrade building materials. Additionally, unsealed crawlspaces often result in higher heating and cooling costs due to air leaks and poor insulation.
