The Importance of Professional Crawlspace Encapsulation In Colorado:
The climate in Colorado can make crawl spaces be prone to moisture issues due to snow and ice melt in the winter. Moisture in crawl spaces can lead to problems such as mold growth, wood rot, and insect infestations.
The type of foundation of the home is also important to consider. Many older Colorado homes with crawl spaces tend to be built on a pier-and-beam foundation, which is more susceptible to moisture issues than homes built on a slab foundation.
Local Colorado soil conditions are heavy in clay, which causes annual expasion and swelling during the heavy snow melt & raining seasons. This constant movement erodes structures allowing moisture to influtrate eventually.
