Why is Basement and Crawlspace Treatment Important?
Modern homes are more energy efficient than ever before, however, the benefits of foundation insulation are often ignored. Energy loss from an un-insulated, conditioned basements and crawl spaces may represent up to half of a home's total heat loss in a tightly sealed, well-insulated home.
Insulation in the foundation and crawl spaces are used primarily to reduce heating costs and has little or no benefit in lowering cooling costs. In addition to reducing heating costs, foundation insulation increases comfort, reduces the potential for moisture and corresponding growth of mold, and increases the livability and use of below-grade rooms.
Savings from insulated foundations vary with fuel price, heating equipment performance, and climate. We can assess and treat your basement and crawl spaces.
