Crawl Space Encapsulation Systems: Why You Need One in the Winter

Many homes are built with crawl spaces and for good reason. Maybe you had an addition built onto your existing home and had no use for your current basement to be extended as well. Or given your preferences, the utility of a basement was not worth the cost. Whatever the reason is that you have a crawl space, there is, unfortunately, a huge downside to owning one in the wintertime if it is not encapsulated. 

That said, a bare crawl space prevents a variety of issues year round. Moisture can move up into your home, critters cab creep into the crawl space and make homes for themselves, and mold can grow endlessly. But being that we're in the midst of a bitterly cold winter at the moment, the main issue for homeowners with crawl spaces is the effect that the cold can have. 

In the wintertime, at the cold air that seeps into a bare crawl space often reaches your furnace, water heater, and other utilities. This can drive up your heating bill like clockwork, on top of simply allowing cold air to come up into your home through the floor. No one likes a high electricity bill and no one like to freeze in their own home. So where do we find a solution?
