Crawl Space Insulation in Northwest Indiana

Save Money By Insulating Your Crawl Space!

Fiberglass insulation in a crawl space is a bad idea for crawl space insulation.  Fiberglass tends to absorb moisture from the air like a sponge, grow mold and eventually will fall from the floor due to its weight. Even when it’s installed properly, fiberglass is loses its R value when it is damp.

If your home has a crawl space and isn’t insulated, then it should be! For such a small area, a crawl space offers great energy savings when insulated properly. So if you’re going to insulate your home, DO NOT forget about the crawl space.

Crawl spaces are small, confined spaces built directly into the dirt under your home. Since they are in the soil, they tend to absorb the natural cold of the earth around your foundation and outdoor air and transfer it into the air in your crawl space.

If you have utilities in your crawl space such as your ducts, furnace, or water pipes, your energy bills will be higher. This cold air entering through the vents will work against your utilities, forcing them to work harder just to maintain a comfortable environment.

Insulation in Crawl Spaces is Important

Why should you insulate your crawl space? Well, If your crawl space isn’t insulated properly, you are paying higher heating bills every month to heat or cool against outdoor air that is entering your crawlspace. You wouldn’t open your windows in the winter and try to heat your home, would you?  You are if you crawl space isn’t insulated.

If your crawl space is encapsulated, it’s generally recommended to insulate the band board or walls. If your crawl space is ventilated, encapsulation and air sealing is extremely important. Air sealing and insulation are services that often go together because air leaks can compromise the performance of insulation!
