A musty crawl space today can mean moldy walls tomorrow.

Cold air and humidity enter through crawl space vents in October. Seal it up with ABLE’s encapsulation systems and protect your structure from rot, mold, and pests.

October’s temperature swings and leaf debris bring more than chilly mornings—they also allow cold, wet air into your crawl space. That air rises into your home, carrying moisture, mold spores, and allergens.

Signs of Crawl Space Issues

Musty smells indoors
High humidity or condensation on windows
Sagging floors and soft spots
Pest problems or visible rot

Encapsulation: The Permanent Fix

Able Basement uses thick vapor barriers, sealed vents, and optional dehumidifiers to protect crawl spaces across Central Ohio from structural decay and poor air quality.
