​Have you ever observed that your floors are cold even though your heating system is switched on? It is most likely due to a lack of crawl space insulation or insufficient insulation. Conditioned air might readily escape through your floor if your crawl area is not insulated. Read on to find out more about crawl space insulation in Erie, PA. 

OUR TESTIMONIALS

What Is the Purpose of Crawl Space Insulation?

Here are some of the reasons why spray foam crawl space insulation in Erie, PA is essential.

• Fills all gaps- Spray foam seals the smallest crevices and prevents air exchange. Warm or cold conditioned air from within your home will not exit, and outside air will not enter. More importantly, there will be no draughts under your flooring.

 

• Prevents allergies from entering- Only foam insulation prevents allergens and pollen from entering a building structure. Mold and bacteria will thrive in a damp crawl area. As a result, using cellulose or fiberglass as crawl space insulation in Erie, PA is not recommended.

 

• Prevents pests from entering- Because spray foam is not a food source for pests such as rats and pests, it will keep bugs out of your crawl area.

 

• Lower your energy expenses- You'll save a lot of money on your energy bills since you won't have to operate your HVAC system all the time. Because spray foam keeps conditioned air from exiting, you'll enjoy cooler or warmer air inside for extended periods of time.

 

• High R-value- Depending on whether you choose open cell spray foam or closed cell spray foam, your R-value per inch can range from R-3.5 to R-7.

 

• Longevity- Foam insulation adheres to the substrate, which is either the walls or the floors in the crawl space, and does not drop owing to gravity, leaving empty pockets or gaps.

Crawl Space Insulation: How Is It Installed?

A crawl space is a small compartment that should be insulated by a professional. When installing crawl space insulation in Erie, PA, ensure your crawl space is free of outdated insulation. Spray foam will only adhere to a clean substrate; therefore your insulation contractor will ensure that your crawl area is clean.
​
Your insulation contractor will select whether to insulate the walls or the underside of the floor based on the sort of crawl space you have. Other elements that impact this selection are whether or not your crawl space has ducting or the heating system. If it is present, your contractor will only spray the outside of your crawl space walls. If no ducting is present, just the underneath of your floor will be sprayed.
