Cold Floors, High Energy Bills, and Other Issues Coming from Your Crawl Space
Between the frigid winters and humid summers, staying comfortable in your home in Southeastern Wisconsin can be a real challenge. Since your home works as an interconnected system, many comfort or home health issues will often spread throughout your living spaces if left unaddressed.
Diversified Insulation is a knowledgeable and experienced insulation contractor serving Burlington and the surrounding areas. We take a whole-home approach to identifying issues in a building, and in many cases, the source of the problem is an unprotected crawl space.
Common Crawl Space Problems
Even though the area under your home seems completely separate from your living spaces, the crawl space plays a crucial role in your overall comfort, health, and safety.
|
Cold Floors Since your crawl space sits under your floors, they’ll be prone to heat loss. |
Musty Odors A damp crawl space is the ideal environment for mildew and mold growth. |
Warping Floors Prolonged exposure to humidity and moisture will result in wood rot and cupping floors. |
Moisture Issues High humidity, water leaks, and groundwater all contribute to vapor and moisture. |
|
Ice Dams Air leaks in your crawl space will contribute to the energy loss in your attic that causes ice dams. |
Unhealthy Air An unprotected crawl space allows radon and several other pollutants to get into your breathing air. |
High Energy Bills Without a barrier of protection from outside temperatures, your crawl space is a source of energy loss. |
Pest Infestation Crawl spaces are common nesting grounds for ants, termites, rats, and other pests. |

- High R-Value - We use closed-cell spray foam at Diversified Insulation, which has a dense, rigid consistency that effectively reduces heat transfer.
- Air Sealant - Spray foam insulation can expand up to 60 times its size throughout the curing process, enabling it to fill small gaps and cracks as an air sealing material.
