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.
