Why Install Crawlspace Insulation?
A crawlspace isn’t a place homeowners typically pay much attention to until substantial damage is done. Moisture control measures in the crawlspace are paramount to the overall health of your home. By properly treating the crawlspace under your home, you will ensure that humidity, insects and other pests are kept to a minimum. Utilizing a vapor barrier in the crawlspace helps to ward off ground moisture, and isolates the living space from soil issues so that mold at rot are minimized or eliminated. Our installers are properly trained to ensure your application is adequate and effective.
Crawlspace Insulation Options
Crawlspaces vary greatly because each home has distinct features and land conditions. If moisture is a concern in the crawlspace, spray foam encapsulation could be the most effective method to insulate and protect the area. For crawlspaces without moisture problems, conventional insulation options such as fiberglass batts might be adequate. Consulting a professional to assess your crawlspace and provide tailored insulation recommendations is always the best approach.

Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation is an effective solution for insulating crawlspaces, helping to improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss and preventing moisture buildup in these areas.
Crawlspace Insulation Options
When it comes to crawlspace insulation, S&S Insulation offers two primary options to improve energy efficiency and protect your home from moisture and temperature fluctuations: fiberglass batts and spray foam insulation.
Fiberglass Batt Crawlspace Insulation
Fiberglass batts are pre-cut panels made from spun glass fibers, designed to fit snugly between crawlspace joists and studs. They provide consistent thermal resistance and help limit heat transfer and moisture intrusion. Fiberglass batts are cost-effective and relatively easy to install in accessible crawlspaces. They come in various thicknesses to meet different R-value requirements and are ideal for standard, uniform spaces where proper fit is achievable.
Spray Foam Crawlspace Insulation
Spray foam insulation offers a more comprehensive solution for crawlspaces by expanding to fill gaps, cracks, and irregular cavities. This creates a continuous air and moisture barrier that significantly enhances energy efficiency and prevents mold growth. Spray foam adheres directly to surfaces, sealing off air leaks and providing superior thermal performance compared to traditional insulation materials. It is particularly beneficial in crawlspaces with difficult-to-access areas or uneven framing.
Why Choose Crawlspace Insulation?
Energy Efficiency: Both fiberglass batts and spray foam help maintain consistent indoor temperatures by reducing heat loss or gain in the crawlspace.
Moisture Control: Proper insulation minimizes moisture buildup, decreasing the risk of mold and wood rot. Spray foam, in particular, offers excellent moisture sealing properties.
Air Quality: Sealing your crawlspace prevents outdoor contaminants and allergens from entering your home.
Durability: Both options are designed to withstand typical crawlspace conditions, with spray foam providing longer-lasting air and moisture barriers.
Choosing the right insulation for your crawlspace depends on the space’s accessibility, framing, and your budget. S&S Insulation can help you select the best option to protect and improve your home’s comfort and efficiency.

FAQs
What is the best insulation to use in a crawlspace?
The best crawlspace insulation depends on moisture, climate, and budget. The two main options are:
Spray Foam Insulation: Provides excellent air sealing and moisture control, ideal for damp or humid crawlspaces. Prevents mold and improves energy efficiency.
Fiberglass Batts: More affordable but less moisture resistant. Suitable for dry, well-ventilated crawlspaces but can be prone to mold if exposed to humidity.
For most crawlspaces, spray foam offers better durability and energy savings.
What R-value is needed for a crawl space?
For crawl space insulation, recommended R-values vary by climate. In temperate areas, R-13 to R-19 is typical; colder regions may require R-19 to R-30. Insulate crawl space walls rather than floors, especially if conditioned. Ensure proper moisture control and ventilation to prevent mold and damage. Check local codes and consult a professional to determine the best R-value for your home.
What is the average cost to insulate a crawl space?
The average cost to insulate a crawl space ranges from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on size, insulation type, and space condition. A professional assessment is recommended to evaluate factors like moisture, accessibility, and existing insulation. A qualified contractor can provide an accurate, customized estimate.
What is the most common insulation for a crawl space?
The most common crawl space insulation types are fiberglass batt and spray foam. Fiberglass is affordable and easy to install, while spray foam offers better air sealing and moisture resistance. At S&S Insulation, we provide these materials along with professional installation, consulting, and energy efficiency solutions to ensure a successful project.
Should you insulate the ceiling of a crawl space?
Insulating your crawl space ceiling helps save energy and keep temperatures steady. First, old or damaged insulation must be removed. At S&S Insulation in Columbia, MO, we safely remove fiberglass batt, loose-fill, and cellulose insulation from attics and crawl spaces. Removing old insulation lets us install new insulation correctly, improving warmth and preventing moisture and mold. Our team can inspect, remove old insulation, and install the best insulation for your home.
Does crawl space insulation need a vapor barrier?
Typically yes, crawl space insulation requires a vapor barrier. At S&S Insulation, we not only install crawlspace insulation but also specialize in insulating crawl spaces, but we also ensure proper vapor barrier installation (if needed) to protect your home’s structural integrity.
