3 Reasons to Insulate Your Crawlspace with Spray Foam Insulation
March 30, 2016
If you own an older home with an uninsulated crawlspace, you may be facing all kinds of problems you didn’t realize were gradually creeping in. You may be thinking that you and your family have managed without insulating it until now, why spend the extra money? Here are three reasons to invest in spray foam insulation for your crawlspace.
- Moisture buildup. When you choose to insulate your crawlspace with spray foam insulation like Icynene, you are taking a step toward controlling moisture buildup in your home. The dampness of bare ground, along with moisture seeping through permeable concrete, can make for a breeding ground for mold and mildew. If mold or mildew finds its way into your home, all kinds of problems can develop which can be costly.
- Air quality. Moisture is kept out of the crawlspace area, thanks to the air seal that Icynene spray foam insulation can provide. There is little or no opportunity for mold and mildew to develop.
- Temperature regulation. Deciding to insulate your crawlspace with Icynene spray foam insulation will also help to lighten the load that your heating and cooling systems take in controlling the temperature in your home.
Talk to a licensed Icynene spray foam insulation contractor in your area, to discover more reasons to insulate your crawlspace.
