Why should you seal & insulate your crawl space?

Repairing a rotting, unhealthy crawl space is hard work – and it’s hard to find someone who’s willing to crawl into that moldy, mice-infested space to do the job. If you do find someone willing to rip the damaged wood out and replace it in that dark, narrow space, you can sure it won’t be cheap!

The best way to avoid an issue like this is to avoid the problem in the first place by properly maintaining your space. With a few simple upgrades, you’ll start saving money on your energy bills right away. You’ll also enjoy warmer floors, experience fewer drafts, and will benefit from a healthier living space.

Common crawl space problems

Issues with crawl spaces are almost always avoidable, and are most commonly the product of poor building practices and “cut corners” during construction. The building codes that supported many of these practices are quickly being phased out in the past decade, as the evidence of the damage that results mounts.
