Crawl Space Insulation Near Charleston, Lexington, Georgetown and Johnson City

Ward off Mold & Moisture Damage and Boost Indoor Air Quality with the Right Crawl Space Insulation

Crawl space insulation is important. A number of comfort and energy problems can be caused by poor quality crawl space insulation.

In addition to installing the right type and correct amount of insulation, it is also important that the insulation be installed correctly. The crawl space can be wet and damp, so the insulation installed must be able to hold up in these conditions.

Benefits of Rigid Foam Crawl Space Insulation

• Secure and Dependable: Unlike fiberglass insulation, rigid foam won’t compress, fall out of place or lose its R-value over time. It’s definitely a “once-and-done” improvement.
• Efficient Air Sealing: When joints between foam panels are taped, rigid foam stops air leaks that can waste energy. Fiberglass insulation can’t stop air movement.
• Moisture-Proof: Rigid foam won’t absorb moisture or be damaged by it.
• Resistant to Mold: Mold can’t take hold on rigid foam because it contains no organic food source and it doesn’t hold moisture.
• Improved Ductwork Performance: Ducts located in the crawl space benefit from rigid foam installed against crawl space walls.

Rigid Foam Panels Exceed Fiberglass Performance in the Crawl Space

Rigid foam insulation performs exceedingly better than fiberglass in a crawl space. Rigid insulation is manufactured in panels of different thicknesses. Installers cut the panels to fit against the interior face of crawl space foundation walls. Panels are attached with adhesive or mechanical fasteners.

We typically insulate crawl space walls with foam board insulation. This brings the crawl space inside the building envelope, which improves overall home energy performance. This will also help make rooms above the crawl space more comfortable and can help lower heating and cooling bills.

Although rigid foam insulation is more expensive than fiberglass insulation up front, it’s actually less costly over time when you consider that you’ll never have to clean up or re-install a jumble of damaged, ineffective installation. Rigid foam will deliver the same performance and benefits years down the road as it does on day one.
