Why Insulate Crawl Spaces?
A crawl space is an area that does not have a finished interior like the rest of the house and is merely about 1 to 1.5 meters in height, enough for someone to "crawl" to.
Crawl spaces are areas that house plumbing, electrical, and ventilation connections. This is for you to isolate these systems that will inevitably need maintenance and repair so that you do not need to tear down parts of your home.
We opt for crawl spaces when it is challenging or expensive to have a basement. We can mostly see crawl spaces in residential properties, but they can also be installed in buildings.
Now, a crawl space provides a lot of benefits to your home as mentioned above. But, if it is not properly constructed or insulated, it could affect your home’s overall energy efficiency.
Crawl space insulation brings a lot of benefits and can even help solve persisting problems you might be experiencing in your Bay Area home.

It is crucial to unnecessary thermal transferThe crawl space is the area closest to the ground and your home's flooring. It turns the area into a thermal bridge that allows unconditioned air from the ground to affect the temperature and quality of air inside.
Crawl space insulation serves as a thermal barrier to separate the unconditioned space from the conditioned one. This helps your HVAC system work more efficiently since you are minimizing temperature variations and fluctuations due to the difference in the temperature outside your Bay Area home. |

It keeps the moisture outSome insulation materials are installed with moisture barriers while spray insulation is already a moisture-resistant material. Therefore, aside from slowing down heat transfer, crawl space insulation can also keep unnecessary moisture out of your Bay Area home.
The presence of too much moisture in structural properties is damaging to both life and the property itself. When moisture contributes to the growth of mold and mildew, it can endanger your health and your loved ones, particularly those who are allergic to it. Meanwhile, too much moisture can damage the sensitive electronic components of your appliances, as well as compromise the structural integrity of your property. |

It lowers your energy bill costServing as a thermal barrier, crawl space insulation can help your Bay Area home maintain a comfortable temperature regardless of the weather or climate outside.
This results in reduced heating or cooling costs since you do not need to crank up on your heater or air conditioning, particularly during extreme seasons like summer or winter. |

It protects your home from pests and air pollutionExtra-durable insulation materials like spray foam insulation add a layer of protection to your home. It helps strengthen the building envelope by keeping moisture out, as well as pests and air pollution.
Spray foam insulation is made of non-food grade and durable material that is non-inviting to pests and resistant to damage and tear. It helps keep pests from crawling their way through your home. Meanwhile, spray foam as crawl space insulation acts as an air filter. It traps air pollutants and pollen so it will not penetrate your Bay Area home. |
