• Sealing Air Leaks: We meticulously air seal all gaps and cracks between your crawl space and the home above to stop drafts and energy loss.
• Installing High-Performance Insulation: We install premium insulation products designed for crawl spaces. This often includes materials like rigid foam boards on the walls, which are waterproof and deter pests, or advanced spray foam.

Our Crawl Space Insulation Solutions 

As a member of the Dr. Energy Saver network, we use high-quality insulation products and materials. We take the time to understand your needs before recommending and installing the best insulation for your crawl space. 

Our approach uses advanced products proven to perform in Pacific Northwest climates. We inspect your crawl space for water, pest activity, and airflow issues unique to homes in Eugene and Lane County. Each solution fits the actual conditions under your home, factoring in moisture levels and current ventilation.

We install the following types of crawl space insulation:

• Rigid foam insulation: Also called “foam board,” rigid foam insulation comes in pre-cut panels and different thicknesses, offering various levels of protection based on your needs. 
• Spray foam insulation: This insulation is applied by spraying. It grows to fill even small spaces for better energy efficiency and is available as open-cell or closed-cell insulation, each with different densities and properties. 

Both insulation types work well with the range of home construction found in Eugene. We help you decide by considering the condition and design of your crawl space. We factor in elements like ductwork, crawl space access, and moisture sources to guide our suggestion for a solution that stands up to Lane County’s climate.

The Importance of Professional Crawl Space Service

An unsealed crawl space can be a major liability for your home, especially in a damp climate. Attempting a DIY fix often fails to address the root cause of the problem—moisture intrusion and air leakage. Improperly installed insulation can trap moisture, leading to mold growth and wood rot.

Professional specialists are trained to diagnose the complex relationship between air, moisture, and temperature. They use specialized materials, like waterproof rigid foam and durable vapor barriers, that are not available in big-box stores. These materials are designed to stop moisture from the ground and walls.

Ultimately, a professional installation ensures the crawl space is completely sealed from the earth and outside air. This creates a healthier, more energy-efficient home, protecting your structural integrity and improving your indoor air quality for years to come.
