Have a crawl space? You may have big problems.
Most homeowners don’t pay much attention to the crawl space beneath their home. It is an area many of us hope to never venture into and rarely think about. But if not taken care of properly, your crawl space can cause significant issues for your home’s comfort and indoor air quality.
Crawl spaces are susceptible to moisture and deterioration problems. Why? Soil has high humidity which causes a crawl space to become damp. Without proper under-house insulation, this damp environment can be unhealthy, harbor mold and create an ideal living space for pests.
This damp space is not isolated below your home. In fact, your crawl space directly affects the air quality inside your home. The natural airflow of a home is from bottom to top (ground to sky). As your home naturally breathes, the moist air (and everything in it) flows up and into the living areas of your home.

Before
After
By properly air sealing and insulating the crawl space in your home, you win by:
- Creating a more comfortable and healthy living environment for you and your family
- Saving on energy costs by not having to heat or cool the air from the crawl space that is pulled into your home due to natural air flow
- Creating additional storage space under your home in a clean and dry environment
- Improving air quality in your home for those who suffer from allergies and asthma attacks
When you are contemplating insulation for your crawl space and looking for the best crawl space insulation options, there are two steps to properly air seal and insulate a crawl space you should consider:
- Install floor liner for under-house insulation
- We utilize a multi-ply, 12 mil liner that has a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty
- The liner seals out moisture and soil gases and is unaffected by storage items and foot traffic (you can use your crawl space for additional home storage without worry)
- Install crawl space spray foam insulation
- Naturally inhibits mold growth, discouraging rodent or insect nesting
- Can be installed along the crawl space walls or the ceiling to seal air leaks and maintain a comfortable temperature on the main level of your home
- Can be installed to any R-value (the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness of the spray foam in your crawl space)
Keeping your home’s air quality high and your energy bills low is a winning combination.
