Do you ever start up the attic stairs and feel worried about what you will find at the top? In the movies, characters exploring attics find ghosts, treasure, and secret passages. In reality, people typically find storage space, water damage, or evidence of pests. If you have concerns about attic pests or damage, attic encapsulation may be just what you are looking for.
Here are three benefits you will see in your home from attic encapsulation:
- Improved Moisture Control – One key benefit of encapsulation is improved moisture control. This helps protect your home from water damage and growth of mold and mildew, decreases musty odors, and reduces allergens, making your home a healthier and more comfortable place to be.
- Pest Deterrent – Encapsulating your attic also provides a barrier that deters pests. One of the first steps of encapsulation is to ensure all pests are removed from the attic. This resolves pest issues in the affected area, and the encapsulation will make it harder for other pests to enter the area.
- Improved Home Insulation – Encapsulation can protect your home not only from unwanted pests and water damage, but it can also help insulate your home. This can lead to better temperature control, keeping cool air in your home in the summer and warm air in your home during colder winter months. Better insulation means lower energy bills for air conditioning and heating.
