Why Crawl Space Insulation in DE and MD is So Important

For those of us who have a crawl space or an unfinished basement, we may wonder, “Why do I need to insulate this space? I never even go down there.”  This is a very good question.  Although our crawl spaces or basements may not be where we live, the space that we live in sits directly on top of them.  So what's happening out of your watch is still influencing you.

Seal Crawl Space Air Leaks

More often than not, our crawl space walls are made from stone or brick. These materials are very susceptible to heat transfer.  As we know, heat likes to move from more to less.  Think about your home in the summer time.  Nice and cool from your air conditioner, but that hot, summer air wants to get into your home.  

After the attic, your basement or crawl space is the place where most air leaks into your home.  As the hot air leaks into your crawl space through the porous stones, it travels to your floorboards and the rim joists warming the space above it... Your living space!
