Why Clean Your Crawl Space?

While many homeowners do not access their crawl space regularly or use it for storage, what happens in this space can have a large impact on the rest of the home.

If you have a vented crawl space, you can count on 40% of the air in your home coming from your crawl space. Anything in that air -- including mold spores, odors, and humidity -- is all brought up into your home.

Cleaning your crawl space will eliminate a highly significant source of allergens in your home, while also creating a healthier environment.

Do You Have A Mess In Your Crawl Space?

At AquaGuard Basement Systems, we've seen the absolute worst that crawl spaces can offer -- and we've cleaned it all! Here's just a few photos our experts have taken from the field:

Choosing Effective Crawl Space Insulation

Insulating a crawl space, when done properly, is a great way to save energy. We recommend both sealing and insulating your crawl space to maximize the money you save. By sealing your crawl space before insulating, you will prevent air leaks and protect the crawl space from moisture issues.

According to a report from Advanced Energy [PDF], sealing your crawl space will create a drier space and reduce conditions for mold, wood decay, and insects. A sealed crawl space will also reduce space conditioning energy use by 15-18% annually.

And that's just the savings from sealing the crawl space! Add in the savings for insulating the space as well and you're saving a bundle on your utility bills!

Rodents can enter a crawl space through vents and similar openings.

Once in your home, they will nest in the warm fiberglass insulation, finding plenty of food and moisture in the crawl space to live on.

A damp crawl space environment can also attract other pests, such as termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles.

Fiberglass Insulation In Crawl Spaces?

Fiberglass soaks up moisture and humidity like a sponge, and it makes great nesting material for mice and rats. Wet, waterlogged fiberglass will become heavy, causing it to sag off your floor joists and end up on the floor. Wet fiberglass also loses its R-Value -- its ability to stop prevent air flow.

Once it lands on your floor, fiberglass insulation becomes a useless, wet, moldy mess that will eventually need to be cleaned up.

How To Insulate A Crawl Space

At AquaGuard Basement Systems, we recommend sealing and insulating your home with our closed-cell SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Insulation installed on your crawl space walls.

SilverGlo™ will not soak up moisture the way fiberglass will, and its completely inorganic design will never support the growth of mold or rot.

This advanced insulation does triple duty by insulating and sealing the crawl space walls, while its reflective surface creates a radiant heat barrier that reflects heat back into your home! And if you have leaking basement walls, it will be able to drain any walls leaks down below the vapor barrier or to a drainage channel.

Once installed, SilverGlo™ Insulation provides industry-leading R-11 insulation!

Insulating Crawl Space Floors

While your crawl space walls provide the maximum opportunity for saving money through crawl space insulation, it's a good idea to also insulate your crawl space floor.

Since crawl spaces are located underground, your crawl space floors will retain a year-round temperature of about 55 °F. If left uninsulated, this can mean a lot of cold in your crawl space!

To insulate crawl space floors, we use TerraBlock™ Crawl Space Floor Insulation. Made from ¾" of closed-cell foam insulation, it includes a padded, puncture-resistant design that makes it appropriate for crawl-on access by service workers and homeowners alike.

TerraBlock™ is fully compatible with our crawl space liner system, and it can be easily integrated with our crawl space waterproofing systems as well. Combined with SilverGlo™ on your walls, it's a fantastic way to save money and enjoy a healthier, more valuable home!
