Crawlspace Insulation options from Akron Home Insulators

Whole Home Insulation - Crawlspace


   Often overlooked, crawlspace insulation keeps floors warm and drafts out in the winter, while avoiding hot, musty air in the summer. We insulate the walls of your crawlspace with rigid foam boards because they are long-lasting, resistant to moisture, and can easily be cut to size for the perfect fit. 


 Many crawlspaces use the formerly recommended blanket batts, affixed to the 'ceiling' of the area.  These were found to be a poor choice as blanket batts absorb moisture from the ground, make excellent rodent beds (a whole other kind of problem), and tend to fall away from rafter joints, leaving areas exposed.  We will remove your moldy, infested batts and replace them with high quality rigid foam boards for the best protection for all seasons. 


Insulating with foam boards on the walls of the crawlspace saves money and time during insulation because it is less square feet to cover, while providing better protection.  This is less money spent on the insulation materials and on energy bills, because insulating the crawlspace of your home can save up to 15% on energy bills, according to the EPA.


We encourage our friends in NE Ohio to take a look at your current crawlspace insulation solution, notice what type of insulation you currently have installed, and see if any of it appears damaged or missing If you don't like what you see, Akron Home Insulators is here to help you this season, often completing jobs in one working day, we can have your home comfortable and feet warm as quickly as you need.

  • Polystyrene (XPS) - Low priced, does not absorb moisture and highly compressible, often used in flooring, garages, and for sound dampening
  • Polyisocyanurate - Has the highest R-value for the least thickness, contains a moisture resistant core, loses thermal resistance over time (30 years)
