Crawl Space Insulation

A cold, damp crawl space steals heat from the whole house and puts moisture into the air you breathe. We insulate, air seal, and encapsulate crawl spaces so the floor above stays warm and the space below stays healthy.

Crawl Space Insulation

What it is

Warmer floors upstairs, drier air downstairs, and less mould risk.

Materials

Closed cell spray foam, rigid foam board, and heavy vapour barriers for crawl space encapsulation.

Typical timeline

Most projects finish in one to two days on site.

Why homeowners and builders pick this option

  • Warm floors on the main level
  • Lower humidity and less musty smell
  • Better protection against pipe freeze in cold snaps
  • Usable dry space for storage

When it makes sense

  • Crawl spaces with dirt floors or vented perimeter
  • Basements with unfinished walls or damp block
  • Any project heading toward a finished basement

Our process

  1. 01

    Moisture check

    We identify any active leaks or condensation issues first. Insulation over a wet wall makes things worse, not better.

  2. 02

    Air seal

    We seal the rim joist and any wall penetrations.

  3. 03

    Insulate

    Closed cell spray foam on rim joists and often on walls.

  4. 04

    Encapsulate

    We install a vapour barrier on the ground, seal the perimeter, and insulate the walls.

Materials we install: Closed cell spray foam, rigid foam board, and heavy vapour barriers for crawl space encapsulation.

Common questions

Should I insulate the ceiling or the walls of my crawl space?+

In a heated home we insulate the walls of the crawl space and seal the vents. Ceiling insulation belongs in unheated crawl spaces only.

Will insulation trap water?+

Not when it is installed correctly. Closed cell foam is the water barrier, so any moisture stays outside the wall. We inspect for active leaks before we start.
