Crawl Space Insulation Before & After Photos

This Wheeling, WV homeowner was in desperate need of new insulation in their crawl space under their home. As you can see in the picture, the old insulation was falling to the ground, creating quite the mess and affecting the air in the home, as well as their energy bills. They gave us a call at Home Environment Solutions, and we were happy to get right to work!

After a free energy evaluation with our Home Comfort Specialist, Mark Orecchio, this family knew that replacing their old insulation was the best solution to their problem. Mike Y. and his crew came out to get the job done! Using SilverGlo Wall Insulation they insulated the crawl space wall.  Next, using CleanSpace Lining they cover the dirt floor, this will give the homeowner a moisture barrier. This will cut energy costs, and prevent high humidity in the crawl space. 

This family was more than satisfied they have new, effective insulation in their crawl space, lower energy bills and clean storage.  We were happy to help them do so! Call us TODAY for your free energy evaluation.

Wheeling, WV homeowner Amy L. built her home with a crawlspace underneath it.  Crawlspaces are a common method builders use to hide electrical and HVAC work.  Crawlspace science has changed considerable over the years.  Crawlspaces are normally known as dark, damp, and smelly places under a home.  This is because outdated building codes permitted crawlspaces to be ventilated.  We know today that this isn't the ideal solution.  We close the vents and insulate the walls using SilverGlo wall insulation. Then we prevent moisture from seeping up through the ground using are CleanSpace liner to line your crawlspace.  

Cold, damp, dirt floors turned into dry, clean, and usable space!

The owner Virginia P called us after finding us online. They had a moisture problem and a musty smell in their home they couldn’t figure out.

 Mark O evaluated the home.  He discovered a vented crawl space below most of the home to be the problem. During Marks inspection he also discovered some wood rot and very high humidity in the wet crawl space. Mark had solutions to resolve the homes moisture problems and musty odors.

 Foreman Mike Y, installers Craig C. and Jeff W. installed and air sealed SilverGlo insulation on the walls and in the rim joist followed by CleanSpace Liner throughout the crawl space.

 The end result was a dry crawlspace, normal humidity throughout the home and the musty odors are gone

In a crawl space, fiberglass insulation tends to absorb moisture, which causes it to lose R-value and fall out of place, rendering it totally ineffective while also creating a mess. To keep moisture from entering the space, we installed drainage matting and the CleanSpace vapor barrier above it. On the walls we used SilverGlo Wall Insulation. After we repaired and waterproofed the crawl space, the owners never had to worry about crawl space humidity and energy loss again!
