š Why Your Crawlspace Encapsulation Might Be Failing (And What to Do About It)
Think an encapsulation is a one-time fix? Think again. š©
We recently performed an inspection on a crawlspace that was encapsulated just two years ago by another company. The results? Systemic failure. As you can see in the photos, the "protective" barrier is already compromised.
š What Went Wrong?
⢠The Rodent Factor: The previous installers didn't seal the space against pests. Rodents have since entered, nesting under the liner and creating entry points that allow moisture and pheromones to seep in.
⢠Failed Sealing: V***r barriers are only as good as their seams. We found peeling tape and detached wall liners, which completely defeats the purpose of moisture control.
⢠Poor Detailing: From unsealed pipe pe*******ons to loose debris left behind, the "shortcut" methods used are now costing the homeowner more in repairs today than the original job was worth.
