Is your crawl space ready for cooler weather? As we say goodbye to summer and prepare for colder days ahead, you may start to notice the floors on the first level of your home getting colder and draftier. This makes your home more uncomfortable and keeps you cranking up the thermostat, increasing your heating costs as well. 

Why does this happen?

If the floors in your home tend to get colder in the fall and winter months, it's likely because you have a vented crawl space below them. This cold crawl space air continually seeps into your home, replacing the warm air from your heating system as it rises up and out of the house. 

But my crawl space insulated!

Some homes have insulation in the ceiling of the crawl space. However, typical fiberglass insulation is designed to work only in closed cavities. If your crawl space is vented, the cold air simply passes right through the insulation and into your home!

What can I do about it?

Fortunately, those cold, drafty floors in your home are an easy fix, and it starts with your crawl space. After dealing with any moisture issues, we eliminate cold, drafty air rising from your crawl space into your home by sealing off vents with our EverLast® vent covers. This takes care of the cold air problem and reduces moisture and pest issues as well.

Next, we replace any fiberglass insulation with our SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation boards, a smarter insulating alternative with better performance than fiberglass. This solution creates a thermal boundary at your foundation walls, rather than in your crawl space, increasing energy efficiency and lowering your heating costs. 

Paired with our full CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation and repair service, your crawl space will stay dry and keep cold air out, reducing cold and drafty floors in your home and improving heating costs in the colder months ahead.
