Redmond Homeowner Replaces Crawl Space Insulation

A homeowner in Redmond contacted us worried about possible mold in their crawl space. While we did not find any mold, our free inspection uncovered a major problem affecting the home’s comfort, air quality, and energy costs: insufficient crawl space insulation.

A crawl space with insufficient floor insulation and damaged air duct insulation — Before Crawl Space Insulation Replacement – Insufficient Batt Insulation – Redmond, WA

The floor insulation was incomplete, leaving large gaps between the subfloor joists. The duct insulation had also worn out and was poorly wrapped. On top of that, the vapor barrier was dirty, allowing dust and debris to build up which could make its way into the indoor air. Without the proper insulation, cold air was seeping up through the floors in the winter and warm air was escaping, making it difficult to maintain consistent indoor temperatures. As a result, the home heating system had to work harder, leading to higher monthly energy bills and reduced overall comfort.

The Crawl Space Solution

The estimator recommended a full crawl space cleanup and replacement of all insulation materials. We would install R-38 fiberglass batt insulation to fill the joist cavities and improve thermal performance. On a convenient day for the homeowner, our skilled technicians efficiently completed the cleaning, sanitizing, and insulation replacement in one day. We used trusted materials like Owens Corning batt insulation and relied on our experienced team to deliver a cleaner, odor-free crawl space and properly installed floor insulation.

The homeowner now enjoys warmer floors, more stable indoor temperatures, and lower energy bills. The new batt insulation effectively reduces heat loss in winter and keeps the home cooler in summer. The homeowner also saved a significant amount through a PSE weatherization rebate, which lowered the overall cost of the insulation upgrade. This cost-effective upgrade provides long-lasting protection and savings for 20 years to a lifetime!
