How Our Crawl Space Insulation Solutions Work

Crawl space insulation is crucial for homeowners in coastal areas, where high humidity and frequent storms can lead to moisture-related problems. These issues often arise due to older construction methods that didn't account for proper moisture barriers, leading to water intrusion, mold growth, and structural damage. Effective crawl space insulation not only protects your home's foundation but also improves indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

Crawl Space Inspections and Dehumidification Services

Regular crawl space inspections are essential in our region to identify potential issues early. Our dehumidification services help maintain optimal moisture levels, preventing mold growth and protecting your home's structural integrity. These services are particularly important for homes built before modern moisture barrier standards were implemented.

Our Crawl Space Insulation Process

  1. Thorough inspection of the crawl space
  2. Air sealing and insulation of the rim joist
  3. Sealing with CleanSpace® moisture barrier

What's Wrong With Fiberglass Batt Insulation?

Fiberglass batt insulation remains a popular choice for crawl spaces due to its low cost and DIY-friendly installation. However, this common insulation method brings significant drawbacks that can compromise your home's comfort, energy efficiency, and structural integrity.

  • Moisture absorption severely degrades insulation performance, reducing R-value by up to 50% in humid crawl spaces and creating ideal conditions for damaging mold growth and wood rot
  • Poor air sealing allows constant air movement through and around the batts, resulting in cold floors, high energy bills, and inconsistent room temperatures throughout your home
  • Installation issues are common as batts tend to sag and fall from between floor joists over time, creating gaps that further compromise the insulation barrier

Wall-based insulation systems offer superior performance by keeping crawl spaces warmer and drier, protecting plumbing, and providing more consistent home comfort compared to fiberglass batts between floor joists

Frequently Asked Questions: Crawl Space Insulation

Is there a best time of year to insulate a crawl space?

Insulation can go in at any time of year, but many Eastern Carolina homeowners schedule it in late spring, ahead of peak air conditioning season, so savings start right away. If the crawl space has an active moisture problem, that needs to be resolved first, since insulating over a wet space traps moisture against the material instead of solving the problem.

Is spray foam or rigid foam crawl space insulation safe to have inside my home?

Yes, once properly installed and cured, both types are safe for occupied homes and don't carry an ongoing health risk. Homeowners with asthma or chemical sensitivities may prefer to be out of the home during the short curing window right after installation, as a precaution. Building codes in North and South Carolina require fire-rated coverings over foam insulation in certain applications, which a licensed installer accounts for automatically.

How much can I expect to save on energy bills after insulating my crawl space?

Homeowners typically see a noticeable drop in heating and cooling costs, though the exact amount depends on home size, current insulation levels, and how sealed the rest of the house is. Coastal homes in areas like Myrtle Beach often see the biggest impact in summer, since insulating the crawl space reduces how hard the AC works against humid outside air pulling in through vents. Homes with no prior crawl space insulation usually see a bigger improvement than homes that simply replace old, damaged material.

Does insulating the crawl space alone stop cold floors, or do I need encapsulation too?

Insulation alone is often not enough if the crawl space has an open dirt floor or humid air moving through vents, since cold, damp air can still affect the floors above. Pairing insulation with a sealed vapor barrier gives more consistent results, because it stops moist outside air from undercutting the insulation's performance. Homes with a real moisture problem typically need both services together rather than insulation on its own.

Hired Best to encapsulate our crawl space and put in a dehumidifier. Carl was very informative in his estimate and Brianna made the scheduling a snap. The team of Zach, Zamir and Derrick were on time, thorough, personable and did a great job. Jerry added the finishing touch with two new doors. We could not be more pleased with the experience and with everyone with whom we interacted at Best.

During our yearly termite inspection Tyler Jones found some issues in our attic space and we can’t be more happy he did! After further investigation we ended getting all the old nasty insulation removed and installing Comfort Shield and it’s crazy the difference our power bill has been since then! I definitely recommend this product and I highly recommend Tyler Jones he was such a huge help every step of the way HUGE asset to the company.
