Crawl space flooding and moisture intrusion can lead to wood rot, mold, pests, and whole-house issues.
While many homeowners do not go into their crawl space regularly or use it for storage, what happens in this area can significantly impact the rest of the home. You can count on 40% of the air in your home coming from your crawl space, which leaves the household vulnerable if you have a vented crawl space. Anything in that air, including mold spores, odors, and humidity, is brought into living spaces.
Cleaning your crawl space will eliminate a big source of allergens in your home while creating a healthier environment.
Rodents enter a crawl space through vents and other openings. They nest in fiberglass insulation, finding plenty of food and moisture to live on. Dampness also attracts termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and more.
Insulating a crawl space is a great way to save energy when it is done correctly. We recommend both sealing and insulating your crawl space to maximize the money you save. Sealing your crawl space before insulating stops air leaks and protects the crawl space from moisture issues.
Sealing your crawl space will create a drier area and prevent conditions for mold, wood decay, and insects. A sealed crawl space will also reduce space conditioning energy use by 15-18% annually. And that's just the savings from sealing the crawl space! Add in the savings for insulating the space, and you're saving a bundle on your utility bills!
Fiberglass absorbs moisture and humidity like a sponge, making it an ideal nesting material for mice and rats. Wet, waterlogged fiberglass will become heavy, causing it to sag off your floor joists and end up on the floor. Wet fiberglass also loses its R-value or its ability to stop airflow. Once it lands on your floor, fiberglass insulation becomes a useless, wet, moldy mess that will eventually need to be cleaned up.
We install moisture-proof foam board insulation in the crawl space.
We at Clean CrawlSpace Inc. recommend sealing and insulating your home with our closed-cell SilverGlo™ crawl space insulation installed on your crawl space walls. SilverGlo™ will not soak up moisture the way fiberglass will, and its inorganic design will never support the growth of mold or rot. This advanced insulation does triple duty by insulating and sealing the crawl space walls while its reflective surface creates a radiant heat barrier that reflects heat back into your home! And if you have leaking walls, it drains water below the vapor barrier or to a drainage channel.
Once installed, SilverGlo™ Insulation provides industry-leading R-11 insulation!
While your walls provide the maximum opportunity for saving money through crawl space insulation, you should also insulate the floor. Since crawl spaces are underground, the floors will retain a year-round temperature of about 55 °F. If left uninsulated, this can mean a lot of cold in your crawl space!
To insulate crawl space floors, we use TerraBlock™ Crawl Space Floor Insulation. Made from ¾" of closed-cell foam insulation, it includes a padded, puncture-resistant design that makes it appropriate for crawl-on access by service workers and homeowners alike. TerraBlock™ is fully compatible with our crawl space liner and can be easily integrated with our crawl space waterproofing systems.
Combined with SilverGlo™ on your walls, it's a fantastic way to save money and enjoy a healthier, more valuable home!
