Why crawl space insulation matters
In a vented crawl space, insulation between the floor joists helps separate your living space from the cold, damp air below. When it falls down, gets wet or goes missing, it stops doing that job.
We remove damaged insulation, check for the moisture that caused the problem, and install new insulation fit to your floor framing. If your crawl space is being encapsulated, we'll explain how insulation fits into that plan, since the approach can be different.
- Remove old, fallen or wet insulation
- Install new insulation between the floor joists
- Secure it so it stays in place
- Flag moisture issues that could damage it again
Often done with a cleanout
Insulation replacement usually goes hand in hand with a crawl space cleanout. Old batts, debris and worn-out plastic come out together, and a new vapor barrier below keeps your new insulation dry for years to come.
