Why is Crawl Space Insulation Important?
Here are some reasons why installing spray foam crawl space insulation in Council Bluffs, IA is important.
|
Seals tiny gaps
Spray foam seals the tiniest cracks and blocks the exchange of air. Warm air or cold conditioned air will not escape from inside your home and outside air will not enter. There will be no drafts under your floors and you will have no more cold floors. Prevents the entry of allergens Foam insulation prevents allergens and pollen from entering the home. If the crawl space is moist, mold and bacteria will grow. Thus it is not advisable to install cellulose or fiberglass as crawl space insulation and attic insulation in Council Bluffs, IA. |

Prevents the entry of pests
Spray foam is not food for pests like rodents and critters so it will prevent pest infestations in your crawl space Save on energy bills You will save plenty on energy bills because you will not have to run your HVAC system all the time. Since spray foam prevents conditioned air from escaping, you will have cooler or warmer air indoors for longer periods. |

High R-value
Depending on whether you opt for open cell spray foam or closed cell spray foam, your R-value can range between R-3.5 to R- 7 per inch. Long-lasting Spray Foam insulation will stick to the substrate, which is either the walls or the floors in the crawl space and it will not drop due to gravity, and create empty pockets or gaps. |
How is Crawl Space Insulation Installed?
A crawl space is a tight area and it is best insulated by an insulation contractor. When installing crawl space insulation in Council Bluffs, IA, your crawl space should be clear of any old insulation. Spray foam will stick only to a clean substrate so your insulation contractor will take care to make sure that your crawl space is clean.
Depending on what type of crawl space you have, your insulation contractor will decide whether to insulate the walls or the underside of the floor. Other factors that influence this decision are whether there is ductwork or a furnace in your crawl space. If present, your contractor will spray only the exterior of your crawl space walls. If there is no ductwork then only the underside of your floor will be sprayed.
