Updating Your Insulation in Hard-To-Reach Places

Through intensive training, our team at Crawl Pros is prepared to handle every aspect of your crawl space insulation needs. Our ability to provide quality insulation service has earned us the Angie’s List Super Service Award for three years running. In addition, we offer cleaning and installation of more environmentally friendly materials as well!

Crawl Space Insulation – Removal With Care

When removing crawl space insulation from your home, we take great care in minimizing the drifting of dust or debris into your home. We put cardboard in doorways and tent polls with plastic sheeting over every area of your home that may be affected by the insulation removal process. After thoroughly masking off your home our installers will completely clean out and haul away all construction debris, old insulation, vapor barrier, rodent carcasses, and feces that are in your crawl space.

When the crawl space is completely cleaned out our crew will seal all the air penetrations points between the conditioned and unconditioned space with low expansion foam and fog with EXPEL. EXPEL Odor Neutralizer is a non-toxic anti-microbial enzyme that eliminates the bacteria that causes health problems and the pheromones that attract more rodents

Re-Insulating

Proper R-value is determined by the thickness of your floor cavities. We will always completely fill each cavity from the floor to the end of the joist. The crew will also cross string the bays with nylon twine or use wood lathe to hold the insulation in place. At Crawl Pros we only use the most sustainable and safe insulation on the market, which is why we install insulation that is held together with natural binders instead of formaldehyde.

Vapor Barrier

There are several different vapor barrier choices. We can install a 6 mil. polyester string reinforced vapor barrier that can be installed black or white side up. Tape is used to secure the vapor barrier to ensure it does not move. On some occasions, when necessary, our estimators will recommend an encapsulated crawl space.

Water Mediation and Flooding

Water and flooding can be one of the most harmful problems in your crawl space. Often the best solution is to install a sump pump with French drains throughout your crawlspace that will flow into the sump pump. Back-flow devices are installed to keep the water from coming back into your crawl space. The pipe is then run out of the crawl space and into one of your exterior rain gutters.
