Why Crawl Space Encapsulation Makes Sense Year-Round

When most people think about crawl space encapsulation, they picture it as a “winter” project, something to keep cold air out. But the truth is, encapsulation benefits your home every single day of the year.

Summer: Stop Humidity Before It Starts

The Hudson Valley’s humid summers send moisture up through your crawl space, increasing indoor humidity and feeding mold growth. Encapsulation with CleanSpace Vapor Barrier locks moisture out before it becomes a problem.

Fall: Block Pests Seeking Shelter

As temperatures drop, pests look for warm hiding spots. A sealed crawl space eliminates easy entry points and discourages infestations.

Winter: Reduce Energy Loss

Cold air in your crawl space makes floors chilly and forces your heating system to work harder. Encapsulation, paired with proper insulation, keeps warmth where it belongs inside.

Spring: Prevent Mold from Seasonal Rains

Spring rains can create damp crawl spaces that become breeding grounds for mold. Encapsulation prevents that moisture from ever reaching your home’s structure.

Year-round protection means healthier air, better energy efficiency, and a stronger foundation. Plus, you gain peace of mind knowing that the “hidden” part of your home is no longer a problem zone.
