What is Crawl Space Insulation?

Crawl space insulation is essential for improving home energy efficiency and indoor air quality. It acts as a barrier against heat loss, prevents mold growth, and deters pest infestation.

Proper insulation requires a reliable material like ExTremeBloc™, specifically designed for damp conditions.
When combined with comprehensive encapsulation solutions, crawl space insulation provides many benefits, such as regulated humidity, reduced energy costs, and improved indoor air quality.

Indiana Foundation Service prioritizes crawl space repair as part of our comprehensive approach to maintaining a healthy home. This approach ensures a more comfortable living space and robust structural integrity.

Is Crawl Space Insulation Necessary?

Insulating your crawl space is necessary to protect your home. It prevents excess moisture and humidity, which causes mold growth and respiratory problems.

Damaged insulation also allows pests and rodents to enter your home. At Indiana Foundation Service, we prioritize early intervention to maintain your home’s structural integrity and occupant’s health.

We do not recommend attempting DIY crawl space inspections or insulation installation. This area is hazardous, and generic retail solutions do not address the underlying issues. Trust the professionals at Indiana Foundation Service to assess, repair, and protect your crawl space.

What Are the Types of Crawl Space Insulation?

There are three common crawl space insulation types. These include:

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is most common in homes, but it is not safe or suitable for crawl spaces due to its vulnerability to moisture, mold, and pests.

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is applied to walls, floor joists, and rim joists. However, it is not recommended for crawl spaces because it fosters mold, chemical odors, and termite damage.

Foam Board Insulation

The most effective crawl space insulation is ExTremeBloc™ insulation panels. These custom-fit insulation panels are installed on interior walls, improving heat retention and insulation value. ExTremeBloc™ features reflective surfaces and provides exceptional insulation performance, even with its reduced thickness compared to fiberglass.

What Are the Benefits of Crawl Space Insulation?

Crawl space insulation and encapsulation provide many benefits, including:

Moisture Control: Insulation prevents moisture infiltration, preventing mold growth, pest infestations, and other issues caused by ground moisture.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings: Proper insulation reduces the workload on your air conditioner and furnace, lowering energy bills. It keeps your home cool in summer and warm in winter, saving energy and reducing heating and cooling costs.
Improved Indoor Comfort: Insulation panels create a more comfortable home environment by keeping floors warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Insulation also contributes to improved indoor air quality, enhancing health and comfort.

Pairing our advanced solutions with professional services ensures optimal results. Our patented products, developed with cutting-edge technology and high-quality materials, outperform standard options and provide superior benefits for your home.

Crawl Space Insulation FAQs

What is an R-value and its significance for insulation?

R-value measures the thermal resistance of building materials like crawl space insulation. Higher R-values indicate better heat retention. The R-value depends on insulation type, material, and installation method. Contact us for a free crawl space inspection and to learn more about Indiana Foundation Service’s reliable crawl space insulation and R-value.

How often should crawl space insulation panels be replaced?

Many insulation types last 15 to 20 years but may suffer from mold and moisture issues if the crawl space is improperly sealed and encapsulated.
