Crawl Space Insulation Services, Raleigh NC
You might not be aware of this, but 2 out of every 10 homes across the continental United States have crawl spaces. These play multiple roles which include but are not limited to housing your HVAC system, as well as your electrical, plumbing, and gas lines. We have found that the biggest problem that faces homes with these spaces is moisture which can eventually cause mildew and mold. To avoid these issues, we would suggest you seriously consider our insulation solutions.
Crawl space insulation refers to the process of insulating the area beneath your home—called a crawl space—to improve energy efficiency, moisture control, and overall indoor comfort. Crawl spaces are typically found in homes that don't have basements and are raised a few feet off the ground.
Types of Crawl Spaces
There are two main types:
- Vented crawl space – has vents to the outside.
- Unvented (sealed) crawl space – completely sealed from outside air and moisture.
Common Insulation Materials
- Foam board insulation (rigid panels)
- Spray foam insulation
- Fiberglass batts (not ideal in damp environments)
- Encapsulation systems (include vapor barriers and dehumidifiers)
