Does encapsulation help energy bills?

Yes. A sealed, dry crawl space reduces humidity and heat loss through the floor, and most homeowners notice warmer floors in winter.

Should crawl space vents stay open?

In our climate, open vents usually add moisture rather than removing it. Encapsulated crawl spaces are sealed and conditioned instead.

Why Palisade homes need crawl space encapsulation

Mesa County is known for highly expansive Mancos shale clay. It swells dramatically under irrigation and spring moisture, then shrinks hard through the dry summer, lifting and dropping foundations year after year. Decades of flood irrigation across the Grand Valley make the cycle worse.

Orchard irrigation and a high water table near the river keep Palisade crawl spaces damp and foundations shifting.
