Crawl Space Insulation Solutions in Birmingham, AL & Surrounding Areas
Prevent Mold, Moisture & Comfort Problems with the Right Insulation.
Insufficient crawl space insulation can lead to persistent issues like poor home comfort, higher energy bills, and compromised air quality. When your crawl space remains unsealed and uninsulated, it can become a breeding ground for mold and moisture problems. This not only affects the comfort of your living spaces but can also put undue stress on your heating and cooling systems.
Sealing and insulating your crawl spaces, especially when they contain vital components like heating, cooling equipment, or plumbing, is crucial. By addressing these areas, you can ensure a more energy-efficient and healthier home environment.
At APS Foundation, we are experts in providing tailored crawl space insulation solutions that eliminate these problems at their root. Our approach ensures your crawl space is sealed, insulated, and protected, giving you peace of mind and a more comfortable home.
Problems with Vented Crawl Spaces and Fiberglass Batts
- Wet fiberglass batts hanging from the floor joists is a common crawl space problem.
- Fiberglass batts absorb water, lose R-value, support mold growth, and allow air to pass through, leading to uncomfortable rooms and high energy bills.
- Crawl spaces with insulated foundation walls are warmer and drier than spaces with insulation between the floor joists.
Our Solution
APS Foundation uses proven, customized solutions for each unique situation.
Step 1: Air Seal and Insulate the Rim Joist
- Seal gaps around the perimeter of the foundation: This step is crucial to prevent frigid air from leaking into your home. By sealing these gaps, we significantly reduce drafts and improve the overall insulation of your home.
- Insulate the rim joist with foam insulation to prevent heat loss: Applying foam insulation to the rim joist not only stops air leaks but also reduces conductive heat loss, making your home more energy-efficient and comfortable.
Step 2: Insulate Crawl Space Walls with Rigid Foam
- Install high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation against the crawl space walls: SilverGlo™ is specifically designed to offer superior insulation compared to traditional options.
- SilverGlo™ stops air leaks, never loses R-value, and is moisture-resistant: Unlike fiberglass, SilverGlo™ maintains its insulating properties, ensuring your crawl space remains dry and energy-efficient for years to come.
Step 3: Seal & Insulate the Crawl Space Floor
- In colder climates, install TerraBlock™ foam insulation on the crawl space floor: TerraBlock™ provides a solid insulating layer that keeps the floor warm and prevents heat loss.
- Cover with CleanSpace® moisture barrier to complete the sealing process: The CleanSpace® barrier isolates the crawl space from outside conditions, protecting it from moisture and enhancing the stability of your home.
