If your home has a crawlspace, you might not have linked it to your indoor comfort level. However, once you realize that the air and humidity from this area seep into your home, it’s hard to ignore the problem. Of course, there’s a simple way to block this flow of air: professional crawlspace sealing & insulation!
At Barber Heating & Air, we can tell you that the crawlspace sealing benefits are worth it. Learn more about our crawl space encapsulation techniques below so that you know how this service can maximize your indoor comfort.
How Air From the Crawlspace Enters Your Home
If you have an uninsulated crawlspace, air from this area is constantly entering your home via a stack effect process as follows:
- The air in the crawlspace is cooler than the air inside your home much of the year, but especially in winter.
- Warm air inside your home rises, moving into upper levels and through the attic.
- This process creates a natural suction effect, pulling cooler air out of an uninsulated crawlspace and into the home.
The precise amount of air exchange that occurs with the stack effect varies with the design of your home’s ventilation system and the construction of the foundation – unless you opt for crawlspace sealing. Insulation techniques inhibit the movement of air out of the crawlspace into the home. That way, your home’s ventilation system manages the stack effect in a healthier way, and you feel the difference.
Problems With Air in the Crawlspace
Why is air from the crawlspace seeping into the home a potential problem?
Does the soil underneath your crawlspace collect moisture and rarely dry out? Damp soil can generate mold spores and other airborne allergens that you don’t want traveling to your indoor breathing spaces or into soft furnishings.
Do animals or other pests, drawn by the moisture, live in that crawlspace? If so, you may notice odd odors seeping into your home through these uninsulated gaps.
It’s easy to see how the stack effect causing air from the crawlspace to enter your home may bring the following problems with it:
- Poor air quality
- Higher humidity levels
- Musty odors
- Mold or mildew formation
- Increased energy bills
- Cold floors
You’ll almost certainly see these issues more in the wintertime when the stack effect is far more noticeable. However, an extremely wet crawlspace in the summer months is just as bad. Why not let our certified technicians inspect the crawlspace and home’s ventilation design to make some suggestions for moisture control solutions and crawlspace sealing & insulation?
Benefits of Our Crawlspace Sealing & Insulation Solutions
If your North Carolina home has traditional vents in the foundation walls, you can potentially benefit from a crawlspace vapor barrier or other sealing techniques. These benefits should include the following:
You Receive Improved HVAC Performance
By adding insulation, you receive an energy-efficient crawlspace. You should notice lower humidity levels. Your home should also stay warmer in winter, potentially reducing your home’s heating costs.
Your home’s HVAC system may last longer when we seal and insulate the crawlspace for you. Why? The system doesn’t have to work as hard as it has to filter fewer contaminants out of the air.
You May See an Increased Home Value
With an encapsulated and sealed crawlspace, you can potentially gain an additional storage area. Our sealing techniques can prevent moisture from entering the crawlspace, making it dry and safe for storing some of your belongings.
If you ever plan to sell the home, having a sealed crawlspace effortlessly shows prospective buyers that you took care of the property and protected it from moisture issues.
