The Whole-Home Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation
Are you struggling to stay comfortable in your Southeastern Wisconsin home? Maybe your floors are cold every morning or your heating and cooling systems can’t keep up with demand. While it may seem like the issue originates with your HVAC, windows, or elsewhere in your home, the source of the problem is likely in your crawl space.
When your home's crawl space is left exposed to the elements it becomes vulnerable to a wide variety of comfort and home health issues. At Diversified Insulation, we can help solve the problems with our comprehensive crawl space encapsulation services in the Burlington area. With three generations of experience, we provide reliable and long-lasting solutions based on building science, not guesswork.
Problems with an Unprotected Crawl Space
Without proper insulation and protection from moisture, your crawl space will become susceptible to:
- Pest infestation
- Wood rot & structural damage
- Pollutants such as radon, carbon monoxide, and more
- Moisture, high humidity, and mold growth
- High energy bills
- Rooms that are too hot or cold
- Ice dams
- And more
In addition to this, much of the air in your home’s living spaces originates in your crawl space, which means that you’ll eventually be breathing that musty, unhealthy air!
Enhance Your Home Comfort with Crawl Space Encapsulation
At Diversified Insulation, we specialize in crawl space solutions that improve your home comfort, lower your energy bills, and promote healthy indoor breathing air. Depending on your home’s specific needs, we offer:
- Crawl space insulation - By preventing heat transfer, insulation will keep outside temperatures out of your home, where they belong.
- Crawl space air sealing - In addition to cutting off the point of entry for pollutants and pests, air sealing will also improve your comfort and strengthen your home structure.
- Crawl space encapsulation - If your home is prone to moisture or flooding, we may recommend adding a vapor barrier with insulation and air sealing services to fully encapsulate the area with maximum protection.
Why Spray Foam Insulation Is Good for Your Crawl Space
Our team often installs spray foam insulation in crawl spaces throughout Southeastern Wisconsin because it acts as an all-in-one product for a fully encapsulated crawl space. Because spray foam expands up to 60 times its original size, it can effectively air seal, insulate, and provide a vapor barrier wherever it’s installed.
