Crawlspace Insulation Repair & Insulation Installation

WHEN WATER CAUSES FLOODING OR POOLING WATER IN YOUR CRAWLSPACE

It is important not just to remove the excess water; you have to address humidity, water, and water damage in your building materials. If you don’t properly dry your crawlspace after a water incident, it can lead to mold issues and structural damage to your floors and to the foundation of your home.

If you have had a recent water event in your crawlspace, then it is important to have it inspected to see if any of the building materials were affected. Assuming it will dry on its own is a huge mistake.

Crawlspace Insulation Repair

If you have had water issues in your crawlspace and the insulation has been affected, the way that it is removed is critical to your home’s and family’s safety. It isn’t enough to start pulling out the affected insulation; you also have to take steps to limit the contamination of dirt and debris from affecting your indoor air quality. If proper measures are not taken, dangerous particles and debris can become airborne and circulate through your indoor air.

It is always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to water damage. If you don’t address water issues by eliminating all affected materials, it can grow into a much more expensive problem that can hurt your home’s structural integrity and your family’s health. Additionally, it is always more cost-effective to upgrade your insulation when you have the chance. Insulation products have come a long way over the past several years and offer energy savings that can really reduce your costs.

At Crawlspace Cowboys, we make sure to mask off your home before we engage in insulation removal. Once we have removed the old insulation, we haul it away, including the old vapor barrier, construction debris, and any animal feces that might be present. We go to great lengths to contain the crawlspace debris so that it does not come in contact with the safety of your home’s environment.
