Are you getting ready to insulate or re-insulate your home? Don’t ignore the lowest levels, like the crawl space, if you have one. If your home has a crawl space that isn’t insulated, it’s not as energy-efficient as it could be, and as a result, you may be losing a significant amount of money.

Insulating Crawl Spaces

If your home has a crawl space, it needs to be insulated, as well as properly weatherized and sealed. Otherwise, you’ll end up dealing with issues like moisture problems and soil vapor intrusion, which can decrease indoor air quality. Crawl spaces are a big source of energy loss in homes – a lot of air leaks in through your crawl space. Combining crawl space insulation and sealing is optimal because insulation can’t work effectively if there are air leaks. A crawl space that is insulated but not sealed won’t do much in terms of maximizing the energy efficiency of your home!

We typically recommend the following types of insulation for replacement insulation:

Every home is different and requires a unique mix of insulation types. Our team of experienced installers will recommend the right solution for your home. Curious about the cost or the process? Give us a call or fill out our form to schedule your free, no-pressure consultation.

Ventilated vs. Unventilated Crawl Spaces

Is your crawl space ventilated or unventilated? You should find out before insulating – and if you aren’t sure, our insulation contractors will be able to tell you. Ventilated crawl spaces should be insulated under the subflooring and between the floor joists. When it comes to insulating crawl spaces that are unventilated, wall insulation is also important. For these types of crawl spaces, you don’t need to worry about sealing.

For such a small area, a crawl space can have a huge impact on your home’s energy efficiency if not properly insulated. No matter what type of crawl space you have and what material you use, you’ll notice the difference crawl space insulation can make.
