Benefits Of Crawl Space Insulation

Enhanced Comfort

Depending on the type of insulation you have installed, you will be able to enjoy different benefits from an insulated crawl space. Crawl space insulation eliminates the cold drafty feeling coming through the floors and makes the floors feel much more comfortable to the touch.

If you choose to insulate the walls with Rigid Foam Board Insulation, via crawl space encapsulation, you get to enjoy several other benefits including:

• Prevent Further Moisture Damage
• Stop Mold & Fungal Growth
• Save Energy (up to 20% Savings)
• Dry Floor Framing
• Helps with Insects
• Prevents Termites
• Peace of Mind

Improve Air Quality

Ventilated crawlspaces allow moisture, dust, and dirt to enter the space making them a hospitable breeding ground for pests, rodents, mold, and mildew. When this happens, the quality of air inside the house degrades and can give rise to a plethora of health problems. Insulation can limit moisture, pollutants, and other allergens from entering the home and thus improves the quality of air inside the house.

The best insulation for air quality is rigid foam board because it does not hold contaminants like fiberglass floor insulation and does not experience “Off-Gassing” like spray foam insulation, which can leave lingering smells for years.

Improve Energy Efficiency

When moisture, dust, and dirt enter your house through the crawlspace, the HVAC system of your house has to work harder to compensate for the change in temperature and air quality. Crawlspace encapsulation prevents this from happening and makes your HVAC units more efficient. This, in turn, will help you in making significant savings on your energy bill.

Our Rigid Foam Board Insulation includes a ‘Radiant-Barrier’ which traps heat in the crawl space lost by the ductwork. This is where you can experience the highest energy savings and allow your HVAC systems to run more efficiently.

How Much Does Crawl Space Insulation Cost?

The cost of your insulation will depend on the type of insulation we install, the size / square footage of your home, and the difficulty of the work. However, we offer some of the most competitive rates in the area and offer affordable financing.

Types of Crawl Space Insulation Materials

Fiberglass Batt Floor Insulation

Batt insulation is the most common insulation used in crawl spaces.  It is installed in 16″ or 24″ strips, in between all the floor joists.  Fiberglass insulation must be supported with insulation hanger pins,.  These pins are supposed to be spaced every 18 inches.  If fiberglass insulation is not sufficiently supported, the insulation can sag, fall and lose 100% effectiveness.  Fiberglass insulation oftentimes has a limited lifetime of 5 to 10 years.

Rigid Foam Board

Properly installed, engineered EPS, foamboard insulation can be a lifetime insulation solution. Rigid foam insulation is installed on crawlspace walls by carefully shaping the 4’x’8′ sheets of foam board and gluing them to the walls. These  insulation panels are made up of a close-cell insulation design.  It is waterproof and creates a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from entering crawlspaces. It also traps heat lost from the ductwork in the crawl space, leading to energy savings.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

We strongly recommend NOT using spray foam insulation for crawl spaces.  It can make future repairs nearly impossible, requiring 5x repair costs.  Expanding foam solutions are mixed and sprayed on the areas inside the crawlspaces that need to be insulated. It is expensive and unfortunately, it can leave behind odors, known as ‘Off-Gassing’. This musty smell can linger with the home indefinitely. Also, it’s nearly impossible to remove, which is absolutely necessary if structural repairs are ever needed.

Bay Crawlspace actually completed some work on our previous house at 249 Brickhaven Dr. in 2015. Thanks for your assistance.

The house was built 2008 and is on a hill. This is a big purchase for us and I was wondering if you would be willing to tell us if we need a more thorough inspection about the foundation and an estimate how much it costs to repair the cracks and the crawl space? We have 7 days now to decide what the owners need to repair and what we will cover on repairs. I am also happy to provide you with the home inspection. My husband is not that worried about it but me and and my dad are. The houses here are so different built than in Germany where I am from and we just dont know. what is normal and what is concerning. Thank you so much.
