Crawl Space Insulation Solutions in Prestonsburg, Paintsville & Surrounding Pikeville

Keep your home comfortable & energy bills low with the right insulation

In this video, learn how to solve home comfort problems caused by an unsealed, uninsulated crawl space. Watch to see how to make your crawl space more energy efficient!

Crawl spaces are shallow structures installed directly into the dirt under your home. As such, they tend to soak up the natural cold of the earth around your home and transfer it into the air in your crawl space.

If you have utilities in your crawl space such as your water heater, furnace, or hot water pipes, your energy bills will suffer. The fluctuation in temperature will force your heating and air conditioning systems to work harder, causing your energy costs to rise.

For your crawl space insulation to perform like it should, it's essential to install the right type of insulation, the right amount of insulation, and use the correct installation technique.

Signs of crawl space insulation problems

  • The floor above the crawl space is unpleasantly cold in wintertime
  • During cold weather, you have to keep the heat going nearly all the time to be comfortable in rooms directly above the crawl space
  • Mice or other pests have taken up residence in fiberglass insulation installed between joists in the crawl space
  • Fiberglass batt insulation has fallen out of place from between floor joists in the crawl space
  • The crawl space smells moldy, has visible signs of mold, and/or is damp all the time

Many homes have the wrong type of crawl space insulation

The old-fashioned way to insulate a crawl space was to install fiberglass batt insulation between joists and vent the crawl space so outside air could circulate beneath the house. Unfortunately, this combination usually leads to the problems listed above. Fiberglass insulation doesn’t respond well to the moist conditions that can be found in a crawl space.

The cotton-like material absorbs moisture, gets soggy, compresses and loses R-value. Fiberglass batts often end up on the crawl space floor in a soggy mess. The main advantage of fiberglass insulation — low cost — is totally negated when the material ceases to perform its main function.

Benefits of insulating your crawl space with moisture-proof options

  • Stable and reliable. Unlike fiberglass insulation, moisture-proof crawl space insulation, like spray foam and radiant barriers, won’t compress, fall out of place, or lose its R-value over time. It's a "once-and-done" improvement.
  • Effective air sealing. When joints between foam panels are taped, crawl space insulation stops air leaks that can waste energy. Fiberglass insulation can’t stop air movement.
  • Moisture-proof. Moisture-proof crawl space insulation won’t absorb moisture or be damaged by it.
  • Unfriendly to mold. Mold can’t take hold on moisture-proof crawl space insulation because it contains no organic food source and it doesn’t hold moisture.
  • Better ductwork performance. Ducts located in the crawl space benefit from insulation installed against crawl space walls.
