Crawl Space Insulation Before & After Photos

This home in Chesapeake Beach, MD sits right on the water and the fiberglass insulation in the crawl space was getting wet and starting to fall down from the joists.  This caused the insulation to lose its R-value. To fix this our production crew went in and removed all of the old, wet fiberglass insulation and replaced it with new insulation. Once the new insulation was installed, foam board was then screwed in to protect and act as a barrier for the insulation from water and moisture.  This crawl space is much healthier and dryer now.  The rigid foam foam doesn't absorb water, support mold or allows air to pass through!

This attic had no insulation to shield the home form environmental factors making the interior drafty and uncomfortable.  The floored attic space was great for storage, but the insufficient insulation levels were causing significant heat loss.  Essentially the heat they were paying for was rising straight up and out of the house, making them very Uncomfortable.  The homeowner decided that enough was enough and contacted Complete Home Solutions to look for a solution.

We recommended removing the storage platform.  Storing items in uncontrolled spaces is never a good idea.  They often become damaged or warm from the uncontrolled temperatures.  Blown cellulose insulation was decided to be the best fit for this attic providing it with a strong thermal barrier. 

The homeowner now has a more efficient and comfortable home while saving on the cost of their utility bill.

We met this homeowner at a trade show that we were working. He spoke to our home comfort specialist who was there and explained some of the issues that he was experiencing - such as cold rooms and floors and a musty smell that kept resurfacing. Our expert had a pretty good idea of what might be behind these issues, but wanted to see it for himself before assuming anything. 

He came out for a home energy audit so that he could fully evaluate the house for this client. He found that the crawl space (which is where he suspected the problem to be) was to blame for these issues. We took out the old BATT insulation, fixed the vapor barrier, and spray foamed the walls. These measures created a whole new crawl space that would give this homeowner a more comfortable and healthier home.  

An exposed crawl space floor allows moisture to seep into the space.  This homeowner in Lusby, Maryland called to get their crawl space evaluated.  The crawl space insulation was sagging and had become ineffective. Lack of crawl space insulation leads to cold floors, drafts in the home, and could cause health problems.    Insulation was added to this crawl space to make the home more comfortable, healthy and energy efficient.

This homeowner knew that he needed some work done in his crawl space - he knew that he needed a vapor barrier and a solution for his cold floors. While researching different companies who could help him with this, he came across Complete Home Solutions. After looking at our different reviews and talking with one of our home comfort specialists on the phone, he decided to have us fix his uncomfortable home. 

Installing the vapor barrier was a big part of the solution that we provided for his crawl space, but we also applied spray foam insulation to the rim joists and penetrations and installed fiberglass batt insulation into crawl ceiling. These measures work to air seal and insulate the crawl space - consequently creating a more comfortable living space. This homeowner was happy that he chose an experienced home comfort expert to help him with his crawl space.
