Crawlspace Encapsulation

Once you've learned about the benefits of encapsulation and have a quote from B&R Service, it may be immediately apparent to you that the best move is to have the work done. If, however, you're hesitating to spend thousands of dollars on a part of the house you rarely visit, let's look at some of the reasons to encapsulate:

 

Breathe easier. Vented crawl spaces have a huge negative impact on indoor air quality.

Reduce the chances of costly floor repairs. Moisture rots wood and causes hardwood floors to buckle.

Enhance comfort. Floors won't be cold in winter. House won't be muggy in summer.

Lower energy bills. Crawl space encapsulation can reduce energy bills by up to 20%, according to Advanced Energy's research.

Make your heating & cooling equipment and ducts last longer. An air handler and ducts in a vented crawl space will not last as long as equipment in a conditioned crawl space.

An encapsulated crawl space is an attractive selling feature. Potential buyers comparing two similar houses will find the one with an encapsulated crawl space more appealing.
