Benefits of Clean Crawl Space Insulation For Your Snohomish County Home
Temperature Regulation
Crawl space insulation works to prevent the transfer of heat through the floor of your home. When some rooms are better insulated than others, the air temperature from room to room can change dramatically. Cold floors are signs that your Snohomish County home is not well insulated.
Unwanted air transfer causes your heating and cooling systems to work overtime to compensate for the energy loss. The installation of new insulation, however, in the crawl space of your home, helps regulate the house temperatures and reduce your energy costs.
Keep Moisture Out Of Your Snohomish County Crawl space
- Holes or cracks in a crawl space allow moisture and water to enter into the structure of your home. Mold and mildew thrive in the dim, warm conditions of the crawl space and wall cavities. The presence of mold and mildew drastically decrease the air quality of your home and causes decay to a home’s structure.
- Prescriptive air sealing, duct sealing, and the correct choice of insulation can lock out moisture and keep your crawl space dry and toxin free.
Save Money
Snohomish County homes that lack proper insulation spend more money on their energy bills. Conversely, investing in crawl space insulation creates an average energy savings of 30% – 80% (depending upon the condition of old insulation), simply because the insulation enables their homes to be more energy efficient.
Types of Crawl Space Insulation We Provide in Snohomish County
Spray Foam Crawl Space Insulation
Spray foam insulation is made from two types of composite material: polyurethane, and isocyanate. When sprayed out of the tip of the spray foam gun, the substance gradually expands, filling in the cracks and crannies of your crawl space or attic before curing. Spray foam insulation is the most effective material for insulating your Snohomish County crawl space available.
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass crawl space insulation is usually installed as large segments of insulation that are rolled or laid out onto a surface, such as flooring, ceilings, or in wall cavities. However, blown fiberglass is becoming more and more popular, comprising one of the main insulation jobs we’re asked to do. This type of insulation is made of a mixture of natural sand and recycled glass. Very popular in Snohomish County homes.
Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose crawl space insulation is made from recycled paper products, primarily newsprint. It’s recycled material content is very high, generally between 82-85%. The manufacturing process reduces the paper products to very small pieces, which are then fiberized and mixed with a flame and insect retardant, usually mineral borate or ammonium sulfate. Great option for Snohomish County
Cotton Insulation
Cotton has become a favorite of the environmentally friendly Snohomish County. Recycled blue jeans have been used in its production, as well as other natural cotton fibers gleaned from industrial scrap. Most cotton insulations consist of 85% recycled cotton and about 15% plastic fibers, which are generally treated with boric acid as a flame retardant.
Denim Insulation
Using recycled jeans, post-industrial denim and cotton, denim insulation is an eco-friendly insulation material for your home. Without the itchy fibers that many other types of insulation contain, denim insulation is just as effective as fiberglass and cellulose insulation. While it is more expensive than other types of insulation, if you’re looking for an earth-friendly insulation material, denim insulation is the type of attic insulation for your home in Snohomish County.
