Signs of Poor Crawl Space Insulation
To know what needs correcting at your home, you must know the signs of inadequate crawl space insulation. Common signs include:
Eugene Crawl Space Solutions
While most individuals think about attic insulation, you can also save a lot of money by making your crawl space airtight. Crawl spaces are shallow structures installed beneath your home. While providing a protected place for utilities and plumbing pipes, crawl spaces can soak up the natural cold air beneath your home and transfer it into your living areas.
When that happens, your energy bills will suffer because of the fluctuating temperatures. For your crawl space insulation to perform as it should, it’s essential to properly encapsulate the crawl space, install the right type of insulation and the right amount of insulation, and use the correct installation technique. For customers in Western Oregon, Josh Lowe’s Dr. Energy Saver can help.

Protect Your Home With Rigid Foam Insulation
The traditional insulation approach in a crawl space-fiberglass batt insulation between joists, with vents in the crawl space-is outdated and ineffective. This combination creates as many problems as it solves because fiberglass doesn’t respond well to the moist conditions common in crawl spaces.
That is why Josh Lowe’s Dr. Energy Saver recommends protecting your crawl space with rigid foam insulation. That will boost your R-value while lowering your energy bills and your frustration level. The benefits include:
In addition to outperforming fiberglass insulation in a crawl space, rigid foam panels are manufactured in different thicknesses for multiple levels of protection. Panels are secured with adhesive or mechanical fasteners. These panels will deliver the same performance and benefits in year 15 as they do on day 1.

Air sealing is very important when it comes to insulating your house. Many of our specialists recommend air sealing before insulating, as the process involves completely sealing gaps or cracks around the building that may be hidden. However, air will commonly leak in and out of these gaps, leading to increased air movement throughout the house that lowers energy efficiency. However, each new and existing situation is unique, so each attic or crawl space may require a different approach with insulation and air sealing. Contact us today to set up a free evaluation and estimate for your home. When should I worry about mold? You should begin thinking about mold issues and the full removal process as soon as you visibly notice mold or if you smell a musty odor. Additional signs to start becoming more alert are having health problems or allergic reactions. You should start thinking about possible mold growth if there have been recent water leaks or damage or in areas that are damp, warm, and dark with high moisture levels. Common areas of your home that we examine are attics, crawl spaces, basements, bathrooms, and kitchens, as these areas are prone to moisture and mold growth. If you’re concerned about mold in your house, contact us today at (541) 287-7022 to learn more about our mold treatment services or to request a mold inspection from a professional. How do I make my house more energy efficient? Energy efficiency can be achieved in a multitude of ways, and a lack of it can stem from more specific issues around the house. For example, making sure your current insulation system is enhanced and well-maintained is crucial to optimizing your home's energy. It’s also important not to overlook air sealing leaks around the house, particularly in attics or crawl spaces where they are hidden but are causing increased airflow, leading to inefficient energy usage. However, there may be issues requiring further inspections in attics or crawl spaces where our team’s professionals can come into your house to take a look. Contact us today for a free home energy audit at (541) 287-7022. How do I know if my home is not energy efficient? Common indications of a home with poor energy efficiency start with consistently seeing high energy bills and electricity usage. From there, you’ll typically notice uneven temperatures across different rooms in the house, excess moisture or condensation, or drafts around windows and doors. Identifying these indications early can help prevent larger issues that may emerge in the future. If you’re experiencing any of these issues and want to know your next steps, contact Josh Lowe's Dr. Energy Saver

At Josh Lowe’s Dr. Energy Saver, removing the current water in a crawl space and then implementing solutions to help prevent it from coming back in is a specialty of ours. Mold can easily grow in a wet crawl space, and then you will start to breathe in the spores as they enter your house. Don’t wait to get this addressed!
