WHY IS CRAWL SPACE INSULATION & BASEMENT INSULATION BENEFICIAL?
Ignoring the lowest levels of your home – such as the basement and crawl spaces – could cost you a lot of money. Basements and crawl spaces are easy to ignore, since we don't use these areas as much as the rest of the house. However, if your basement or crawl space is not properly insulated or weatherized, problems such as frozen pipes, cold floors, moisture issues and soil gas intrusion can negatively affect your home's thermal performance or even cause damage over the longer run. Basement insulation, as well as crawl space insulation, can not only make your home more comfortable year round but also lower your energy bills, a win-win situation!

Crawl Space Insulation

A lot of air can leak in through your crawl space if it's not properly sealed and that means a lot of warm air (in the winter) or cool air (in the summer) can leak out, and that's not what anyone wants. Don't overlook that crawl space when it comes to determining where to seal and insulate your home or how best to lower your energy costs! Crawl space insulation is advantageous in several ways:

  • Air sealing between the house and the crawl space is always a good idea
  • You can prevent the problems related to a ventilated crawl space (in winter, they are hard to keep warm, and they have difficulty dehumidifying warm air in the summer, which leads to higher moisture levels)

So when you think of lowering your energy costs, crawl space insulation has a number of benefits for a space so small – keep that in mind when you decide which parts of your home might need additional sealing and insulation.

Basement Insulation

The basement is one of the areas in your home that can save you a lot of money when it comes to energy costs. Basement insulation (exterior wall insulation) reduces heat loss through the home's foundation, helps fight moisture intrusion and can help protect the home's foundation against the negative effects of the freeze-thaw cycle during extreme weather conditions. You truly can't go wrong with quality basement insulation – and that's what we do!
