Cold floors in winter. Hot rooms in summer. A power bill that keeps climbing. The fix isn't always inside your house — half the time it's the saggy, wet, rodent-damaged insulation hanging in your crawl space.
If any of these apply, your crawl space is costing you 10-20% of your monthly energy bill — and possibly affecting your indoor air quality.
For most homeowners, new insulation pays for itself within 4-7 years through energy savings alone.
Depends on whether your crawl space is encapsulated. In a sealed (encapsulated) crawl space, insulation goes on the foundation walls. In a vented crawl space, insulation goes between the floor joists.
Properly installed and protected from moisture: 25-50+ years.
We don't recommend it. If the old insulation is wet, moldy, or contaminated, layering new on top traps the contamination against your sub-floor.
Most homes see 10-20% reduction in heating and cooling costs. Older homes with no working insulation can see more.
Yes — if the cold floors are caused by missing or failing insulation. We'll diagnose during inspection so you don't pay for the wrong fix.

From the jump our experience with Jack and the team at CrawlSpace Experts was so smooth, easy, and incredible! Jack gave us a very reasonable quote and explained what was happening in our crawlspace with honesty (and with images to help us see for ourselves)! He operates with immense integrity- a surprisingly unique trait in this field. He never attempted to upsell us on any work or equipment, and his technician was polite, on time, and shared photos of the completed work! We will definitely be sharing this company with any friends or neighbors who have crawlspace needs in the future!
