3 Reasons Why Crawl Space Repair Will Save Your Customers Money
You already know the benefits that crawl space repair will bring your customers, but these things might not always be top priorities for homeowners.
However, showing how your customers can save money thanks to crawl space repair will quickly showcase just how vital your services are.
Here are 3 reasons why crawl space repair will save your customers money.
1. REDUCE ENERGY BILLS
When crawl spaces allow moisture or warm or cold air from outside to enter a home, HVAC systems have to work that much harder to heat and cool the air.
After all, damp air is harder to cool, as air conditioning units work hard to both cool and dry the air. Meanwhile, it’s harder on the system to heat cool air that’s consistently coming in from the cold outdoors due to poor sealing in the crawl space.
Homeowners save an average of 15 - 20% on energy bills after insulating, dehumidifying, sealing and/or encapsulating their crawl spaces.
2. DECREASE NEED FOR RECONSTRUCTION
Damp crawl spaces don’t just cause energy bills to skyrocket, they can also cause an extraordinary amount of damage to the structure of a home.
Mold and excess moisture can eat away at organic materials, like wood, which is obviously vital for a home’s framework. Plus, when architectural integrity is lost, it’s extremely dangerous for anyone in the home.
What’s more is that mold can spread from the crawl space up into your customer’s home, putting them in danger of exposure.
Between construction costs to fix damage and potential safety issues due to crawl space damage, the savings potential is immeasurable.
3. DECREASE PEST CONTROL COSTS
Unsealed crawl spaces have cracks and spaces that are exposed to outdoor elements, providing a comfortable home for pests and insects.
Homeowners will be thankful for the investment made in crawl space repair so that bugs, rodents, and other pests are no longer a big concern. Like mold, pests in a crawl space can easily access the main house too.
Pest control can be costly over time and encapsulating a crawl space will save your customers money.
