Key Information About Crawl Space Insulation
Common Signs of Crawl Space Insulation Issues:
Cold floors above the crawl space during winter
Continuous heating requirements to maintain comfort in rooms above the crawl space
Evidence of pests nesting in crawl space insulation
Deteriorated or displaced fiberglass batt insulation
Visible mold growth or musty odors
Persistent crawl space dampness
Challenges with Traditional Crawl Space Insulation
Traditional Subfloor Insulation methods involve placing fiberglass batts between joists and adding vents for airflow. However, fiberglass is ill-suited for Subfloor Insulation due to its moisture-absorbent nature. Over time, it becomes soggy, compresses, and loses its insulating properties. This results in a messy, ineffective, and costly solution.
Advantages of Spray Foam Crawl Space Insulation
Stability and Reliability: Unlike fiberglass, spray foam insulation remains stable, doesn't compress, and maintains its R-value over time.
Effective Air Sealing: Spray foam prevents air leaks, enhancing energy efficiency, while fiberglass cannot.
Moisture Resistance: Spray foam is impervious to moisture, ensuring it doesn't absorb or get damaged by it
Mold Resistance: Mold cannot thrive on spray foam due to its lack of organic materials and moisture retention.
Improved Ductwork Performance: Crawl space ducts benefit from spray foam insulation on crawl space walls.
Optimal Crawl Space Insulation Solution
Insulation Solutions of Northern New York typically insulated Subfloor Insulation space walls with spray foam. This method brings the crawl space within the building envelope, enhancing overall home energy performance. As a result, rooms above the Subfloor Insulation space become more comfortable, and heating and cooling bills decrease. While spray foam insulation may have a higher initial cost compared to fiberglass, it proves cost-effective over time due to its long-lasting effectiveness. In addition to insulation, we offer comprehensive home energy audits to diagnose your home's energy issues fully. Contact us today to begin improving your home's comfort and energy efficiency.

We are your trusted experts for crawl space winterization in southeast Michigan. Reach out to us for a free estimate. We'll conduct a thorough crawl space inspection, sealing all air leaks, and install high-performance crawl space insulation to improve your home's comfort and year-round energy efficiency
Key Winterization Measures:
Sealing and Insulating the Rim Joists: This critical step eliminates heat loss and prevents frigid air from infiltrating by professionally upgrading foam insulation.
Insulating Crawl Space Walls with Rigid Foam: Instead of using fiberglass batt insulation that performs poorly in crawl space conditions, we employ SilverGlo rigid foam insulation. It's moisture-resistant, retains its R-value, and stays in place.
Insulating Crawl Space Floors: While not as crucial as wall insulation, adding TerraBlock rigid foam insulation to the crawl space floor can further reduce winter heat loss.
Professional Floor Insulation Installation
Elevate Home Comfort with Insulation Solutions of Northern New York
If you're tired of enduring cold floors, turn to Insulation Solutions of Northern New York for professional floor insulation services that enhance overall home comfort.
Ground-level floors can become uncomfortably cold during winter if the spaces beneath them lack proper insulation. Existing insulation, if present, is often inadequate or incorrectly installed beneath floorboards. Cold floors result as the heat contained in the floor is drawn away. Drafts exacerbate the issue.
Insulating your home's floors reduces drafts and results in annual energy cost savings. Insulation Solutions of Northern New York, your local home insulation company, serves homeowners in southeast Michigan with top-notch floor insulation services. Reach out to us today to improve your home's comfort and energy efficiency.
