November is a month for gratitude — for family, for food, and for the comforts of home. But if your crawl space is damp, drafty, or full of unwanted guests, you might have a few things to worry about before you carve the turkey. 🦃

As fall deepens and winter approaches, now is the perfect time to make sure your home’s foundation is protected from cold air, moisture, and mold.

Here’s your November checklist to keep your crawl space (and your entire home) safe, warm, and dry — all season long.

1. ❄️ Seal Out the Chill

Crawl spaces with open vents or poor insulation act like refrigerators under your home. That cold air seeps up into your floors, causing:

Higher heating bills
Cold spots in your home
Drafts and uncomfortable rooms

✅ Encapsulation helps seal the crawl space completely, keeping warm air in and cold air out — just in time for that Thanksgiving gathering.

2. 💧 Check for Moisture Before Winter Locks It In

Moisture from fall rains and melting frost can get trapped in your crawl space. If it’s not addressed now, it can freeze, expand, and cause long-term damage.

Wet insulation = reduced energy efficiency
Standing water = mold and wood rot
Damp air = poor indoor air quality

🛠️ A proper vapor barrier and drainage solution can protect your crawl space all winter long.

3. 🦠 Stop Mold Before It Spreads

Mold doesn’t take the holidays off. If your crawl space is humid or poorly ventilated, mold can continue growing silently through November and beyond — especially in hidden corners.

👃 Musty smells under your home = mold warning sign.

Master Kleen offers air sampling and mold remediation services so you can enjoy the season without breathing in harmful spores.+-

4. 🐀 Critters Love a Cozy Crawl Space

Rodents and insects are looking for warm places to nest — and your crawl space is prime real estate if it’s not sealed up properly. We’ve found:

Mice in insulation
Raccoons under floorboards
Spiders and silverfish near HVAC lines

🛑 Crawl space encapsulation helps block entry points and keep pests out before they become uninvited holiday guests.
