Installing Insulation in Your Crawl Space

A house's crawl space area is susceptible to temperature and humidity fluctuations throughout the year. For unfinished crawl spaces, this could mean trouble down the line. Warm summer months allow warm, humid air to enter the crawl space area. This warm air is attracted to cool surfaces, such as HVAC ducts, plumbing lines, or even the earth. The combination of humidity and cool surfaces can cause condensation and lead to unwanted moisture in the crawl space. This moisture allows mold and fungi to grow and provides the ideal conditions for wood rot.

Cold winter months bring damp, cold air into the crawl space. This air may result in problems such as frozen pipes and colder interior floors.

The Benefits of Crawl Space Insulation

The humidity and temperature inside your crawl space affects your home’s interior air quality. Without proper insulation in the floor and walls of our crawl space in Bristol, your home will be more affected by seasonal temperature swings. The result is undue stress on the AC system in the summer and on the heating system during colder months. Using foam board insulation in your crawl space helps provide temperature control inside your home. Better temperature control can also save you money on your energy bills!
