Crawl Space Encapsulation and Waterproofing a Crawl Space "eliminates dirty and potentially poisonous air" in a home. The EPA says that up to 60% of all air in the 1st floor of a home comes from the crawl space. Without sealing the crawl space, this dirty air is allowed to permeate the rest of the house because of a condition called vapor transmission. The insulation of Crawl Space also "controls humidity levels in the entire house. When hot, humid air is allowed to enter the crawl space through the foundation vents. This same air is allowed through the rest of the house! The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and the EPA recommend maintaining relative humidity levels in the 30% 50% range."
