Crawl Space Insulation

Crawl space insulation with foam board or spray foam on the foundation walls, or batts in the floor system, chosen to suit a sealed or vented crawl space.

Insulation in a crawl space can be in the floor above or on the walls around it, and which one belongs depends on whether the space is sealed or vented. In a vented crawl space, loose batts between the joists often get damp, sag and fall. In a sealed crawl space, rigid foam on the walls keeps the space steady in temperature and hard for moisture to hide in. Homeowners around Nashville often see both, and some floors feel cold because old batts have given up.

We look at what you have now, whether it is damp, missing or falling, and decide the best match for the space. For sealed spaces we fasten rigid foam board or apply spray foam to the foundation walls and the band area and seal the seams. For vented spaces, we reinstall or replace batts with supports that hold them against the subfloor and protect them from moisture. We keep a clearance around pipes, wires and flues and explain fire and code considerations. We avoid covering problems, so any rot or mold is addressed before the new insulation goes in.
