If you’re like most homeowners, you probably don’t think about your crawlspace very often. However, our team here at Overwatch Pest Management knows that crawlspaces can become a breeding ground for a variety of unpleasant issues, so we offer crawlspace encapsulation services throughout the community. If your crawlspace is currently unsealed, we highly recommend giving us a call if you notice any of these signs in your home:
- Excessive Moisture – Your crawlspace can become damp and humid, which can encourage mold growth and lead to wood rot. If you notice your insulation is damp or smell a musty odor in your home, it’s a good idea to encapsulate the area to seal out moisture.
- Recurring Pest Infestations – Dark and humid spaces can attract many unwanted critters, and if there’s no barrier between the ground and your house, you’re giving pests easy access to your home.
- Fluctuating Indoor Temperatures – If you can’t seem to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, your unsealed crawlspace could be the culprit. Encapsulating your crawlspace can make it easier for your HVAC system to maintain your preferred temperature without causing your energy bills to skyrocket.
- Visible Structural Damage – When a crawlspace is constantly exposed to excessive moisture and pest infestations, it can gradually cause damage to other areas of your home. You might notice cracks in your walls, sagging floors, or wood rot if your crawlspace isn’t properly encapsulated.
If any of these signs sound familiar to you or you are ready to prevent these things from happening, we encourage you to reach out to our skilled team today to schedule an appointment.
