Lower Humidity and Less Moisture Mean a Great Climate

Now that the warm weather is upon us, it will be very apparent, and you may be prompted to consider your options. Foam All Spray Foam offers spray foam insulation solutions that can enhance the comfort of your home this summer. Make the hottest summer months comfortable, AND enjoy all the other benefits of spray foam by updating your crawlspace insulation just in time to stay cool!

How Spray Foam Helps Your Crawlspace

Crawlspaces are notorious for becoming moist and humid during the summer months. Various factors contribute to moisture in your crawlspace, including your insulation. When you do not have adequate insulation, everything from the outdoors rises up and throughout your home. The most effective way to combat this is through the use of closed-cell spray foam insulation. Closed-cell spray foam is waterproof and won’t absorb water. As a result, moisture and humidity are blocked from entering the crawlspace, making the climate there and on the floors above more comfortable and dry. Additionally, closed-cell spray foam prevents mold and mildew, thereby protecting the family’s health. The benefits of Spray Foam crawlspace insulation are:

• Lower energy bills
• Deaden Sound
• Fill All Gaps and Cracks
• Eliminates Drafts/ Air Leaks
• Does not lose R-value like fiberglass insulation
• Reduces the chance of pests
• Strong and long-lasting

3 Benefits of Insulating Your Crawlspace

Does your home have a crawlspace? Are your floors constantly cold? You might want to consider insulating your crawlspace with spray foam! Read on to discover the benefits of insulating your crawlspace.

Deaden sound with foam insulation.

One benefit of insulating your crawlspace is that it will help deaden sound. When you walk across the floor, do you notice that your footsteps echo, or that any squeaks and creaks seem to be amplified? Rooms above crawlspaces tend to be rather loud due to the open, uninsulated space beneath the floors.

Insulating your crawlspace eliminates air drafts.

As the ground cools, you may notice your floors getting colder as well. Our spray foam insulation products can fill any gaps and cracks in your home. By sealing any gaps and cracks throughout your home, you can eliminate annoying drafts from your crawlspace. You will likely notice that your floors stay a bit warmer as well.

Another benefit of insulating your crawlspace is that it helps lower energy bills.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, more than half of home energy usage is for heating and cooling.

By insulating your crawlspace with spray foam, you can save on heating and cooling costs. This type of insulation is sprayed onto the surface, expanding as it is applied and filling in any cracks, gaps, and crevices along the way.

Spray foam insulation helps eliminate pesky air drafts. It seals areas where heat or cool air might escape, allowing your heating and cooling systems to run more efficiently and saving you money.

What is Encapsulation?

Protecting Your Crawlspace With Polyurethane Foam

If your “spidey-sense” is tingling when it comes to your crawlspace telling you that there may be a problem, then you are probably right. Are you experiencing moisture, humidity, musty smells, leaks, or other similar symptoms? Then you likely have a crawlspace that is leaking or allowing moisture to enter. This leads to problems in the crawlspace itself, as well as the floors above. Your crawlspace is integral to the health and stability of your home, so you may be wondering “what can I do to protect it?” The answer is encapsulation! Foam All Spray Foam can utilize spray foam insulation couple with plastic sheeting to create a protective barrier around your crawlspace!

How Does Encapsulation Work?

If you are suffering from a damp basement, or worse, visible moisture and mold growth then encapsulation is a solution you should consider. This is the process of sealing your crawlspace to prevent water, moisture, and mold that keeps your space dry and can eliminate mold growth in the process. Foam All team members will inspect your crawlspace and determine if encapsulation is right for you.

The team at Foam All will use a combination of strong, plastic sheeting and polyurethane spray foam to cover the walls and floor of your crawlspace, creating a protective barrier around the entire structure. In doing so, wiping out the possibility of water damage and mold growth!

Why is a Dry Crawlspace Important?

When you have a wet crawlspace you not simply have a moisture problem. It is what happens because of that moisture that is the real problem. Because you have water or dampness, you will also see:

• Higher humidity levels in your home
• Increased pests
• Increase in your energy costs
• Wood rot
• Musty odors
• Sagging beams and structural issues
• Mold spores that spread through upper floors

You can count on the experienced team at Foam All Spray Foam to properly and efficiently protect your crawlspace and ultimately your home. If you have concerns and are ready for an inspection, please contact our team today for your free estimate.
