Top Benefits of Crawl Space Insulation

Spray foam crawl space insulation forms an airtight seal which lowers energy loss and increases comfort. Proper crawl space insulation helps keep pipes and ductwork from losing heat and offers protection against freezing. Insulated crawl spaces are more resistant to moisture and condensation which can lead to mold or mildew.

Insulation doesn’t last forever and older installs may become damaged over time. Water leaks, mold, pest, and wildlife infestations can degrade existing insulation. Because crawl spaces are hard to access this type of damage is easily overlooked and can cause problems that grow over the years. Replacing old insulation with spray foam can help to form a protective barrier that is moisture and pest resistant. In new construction, a spray foam crawl space install can give your building durable and long-lasting protection against heat loss and condensation damage.

Fire Protection for Small Spaces

Crawl spaces are hard to check and easy to overlook. Proper insulation can offer fire resistance in this important area of your structure. Depending on the materials used, crawl space insulation can be fire-resistant or fireproof as requirements dictate. Commercial buildings are subject to strict bylaws, and the right crawl space insulation can help your project stay compliant.

Spray foam insulation can be treated for fire resistance or fireproofing depending on need. Professional insulation installers can make recommendations that fit your insulation and fireproofing needs. Different materials and approaches can be used and if you have specific fireproofing needs, schedule a professional assessment where we can evaluate your project and suggest the best fire-resistant or fireproof crawl space insulation choices.

Choosing Professional Insulation Installers

Installing insulation requires training and expertise. This is especially true when dealing with tight spaces and demanding bylaws of crawl space insulation installs in residential or commercial environments. This type of installation is best handled by professionals. Professional installers will understand commercial insulation and fire-resistance bylaws, and have the experience to complete your installation correctly and within your project’s budget.

Professional knowledge and experience are key during refits and remodels. Old insulation poses health hazards and must be removed before modern insulation can be installed. All old insulation will have to be removed and disposed of or recycled in accordance with environmental and safety regulations. Asbestos is often present in older buildings and must be handled carefully with the correct protective gear. Because of the tight spaces involved in crawl space work, it can be tempting to cut corners when it comes to personal protection. Professionals have enough training and hands-on experience to complete these jobs safely and correctly.

When you are ready to install or replace crawl space insulation contact us for a professional assessment. We can identify insulation health hazards including the presence of asbestos-containing materials. Don’t risk your health. Use professionals for all of your insulation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crawl Space Insulation

How much insulation does my crawl space need?2022-11-23T04:45:24-07:00

Insulation effectiveness is measured as R-values. The specific R-value needed in each situation varies depending on a few different criteria and can be met using several different insulation options. You’ll need a professional assessment to see what is recommended for your particular crawl space insulation requirements.

My existing crawl space insulation is fireproof. Does this mean it contains asbestos?2022-11-23T04:48:17-07:00

It’s possible. Before 1990, asbestos was used in Canada for some insulation material, including where fire resistance and fireproofing were needed. Insulation professionals can help you identify material that contains asbestos and can provide recommendations for removal and replacement. If you suspect that your insulation is asbestos it’s important not to disturb or damage it without speaking to a trained professional first.

My crawl space is damp. Will new insulation fix this?2022-11-23T04:48:42-07:00

Spray foam crawl space insulation can help decrease dampness that results from condensation or soil seepage. However, some dampness can be the result of leaks from other parts of your structure or from pipes. A professional can help you determine the source of the moisture and will recommend the best course of action to reduce or eliminate it.
