Common Crawl Space Problems in Denver
Lots of home owners tend to forget about crawl spaces due to the fact that they are dark and damp. Crawl spaces have lots of undesirable elements that can become unsafe when not properly maintained and cared for.
- Moisture Control:
Moisture penetration is a prevalent problem in older Fort Worth houses. Most of the time, this problem occurs in houses that have vented crawl spaces rather than closed ones. It is quite easy for hot and humid air to get in the crawl space if there is no moisture barrier installed. Humid air will condense when it comes into contact with cooler surface areas like floorboards. Moisture buildup is harmful to the structure of your home. Water can result in rot and damage of wood structural components in your home if moisture becomes excessive. - Mold, Mildew, and Fungus:
You can anticipate mold, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms to flourish in your crawl space if the moisture is not managed. The air within your crawl space will bring these dangerous microorganisms right into your home. In your home, those that suffer from asthma or allergies might be irritated by being exposed to mold or fungal spores. Infections, rashes, and other severe medical conditions can also be caused by them. - Unwanted Pests:
Rodents, insects, and other pests can infest your crawl space if it is not properly sealed. Having a ventilated, uninsulated crawl space can prove especially attractive to pests due to its warmth and moisture. Because of their feces, animals can create issues with your crawl space’s air quality. Among other things, raccoons and termites damage structural components. As an example, they can damage your HVAC and electric wiring. - Crawl Space Insulation That Is Not Installed Properly:
Unfinished crawl spaces or inadequately insulated houses can dramatically impact a house’s energy performance. To fix this problem, you should install a vapor barrier with insulation and seal off any openings that enable outside air to get in. Consequently, you are going to be able to dramatically decrease the space’s energy needs.

Benefits Of Crawl Space Foam Insulation in Denver
The importance of your crawl space shouldn’t be ignored. Along with improving your home’s overall comfort, spray foam insulation is very energy efficient. You can fix your crawl space issues with Spray Foam Pros. Improved insulation for crawl spaces has the following advantages:
- Improved Comfort
It is likely that your crawl space is causing the spaces above your crawl space to feel much warmer or cooler than the other areas around your house. You are going to be able to manage the temperature in your crawl space, decrease drafts, and remove cool spots in the living areas above it if you insulate it. - Improved Air Quality
Inadequately insulated crawl spaces can lead to poor air quality throughout the remainder of the house, as we pointed out earlier. You will no longer have to worry about breathing in harmful spores and pollutants with new crawl space insulation. In addition to shielding your walls and ductwork, insulation will keep bad air out of your lungs. - Energy Savings
Your HVAC system works overtime to manage the air in your home whenever air leaks from ducts or condensation accumulates in your crawl space. Consequently, your system ends up being essentially useless and loses a considerable amount of energy. Spray Foam Pros insulation experts recommend having your crawl space properly insulated, given that it is the 2nd most significant opportunity to save energy in your home after your attic. - Saving Money
Your HVAC system’s performance will be maintained by insulating your crawl space. Consequently, your energy bills will lower dramatically since your system will not have to operate as hard.
By installing vapor barriers and insulation in your crawl space, you will create a basically impenetrable barrier against dangerous germs and pesky rats. Extermination will be less costly as a result.
Our Process
First and foremost, the thermal barrier (insulation) should not be directly touching the crawl space ceiling or the trusses above. It is very important that warm air can move throughout the crawl space ceiling in order for it to be warm. Blocking the infiltration of cool air from the exterior (the concrete walls) is our objective. The thermal barrier (insulation) will for that reason be placed on the exterior concrete foundation wall surfaces. Applying the proper insulation methods, we can insulate up to the concrete walls’ rim joists.
Vapor Barrier
The material is reinforced poly plastic. This seamless barrier is laid over the exposed earth and taped around all pylons and footers to stop water, vapor, or gases from getting into the home. You can fix the issue of a moldy or earthy odor in your home by installing a vapor barrier.
Rim Joists
There’s floor framework above your crawl space foundation walls. Rim joists support these trusses directly on top of the foundation. Typically they are 1 square foot each and spaced 12-16 inches apart. These rim joists are a big reason why in-floor insulation doesn’t work. This is because the insulation becomes useless from air passing through the insulation that was hung in the ceiling trusses. Spray foam will block air infiltration.
Throughout the Denver area, Spray Foam Pros have insulated countless crawl spaces. Keeping you and your family members comfortable throughout the year begins with insulating your crawl space. Throughout the whole process, we aim to provide the best service possible.
Answers to Common Crawl Space Insulation Questions
Water and moisture can enter your crawl space in a number of ways. Most of the time, it permeates into the crawl space through cracks in your foundation and wall surfaces. Improperly built drainage systems, inadequate ventilation and inadequately sealed crawl space floors can also dampen your crawl space.
There is a common misunderstanding that vents help keep crawl spaces dry. Vents do not provide enough ventilation and breezes to keep moisture levels low. Plants outside can obstruct these vents, limiting air movement, and over time, the sealing around these vents may develop cracks and holes. If this happens, water will begin to trickle and accumulate in your crawl space. Wood, insulation, and the foundation will all be seriously damaged.
No, not exactly. Even if the dirt floor in your crawl space is covered with a layer of gravel or sand, moisture can still enter into your crawl space. In a crawl space, vapor barriers do not stop moisture from getting in because they do not effectively seal cracks and openings. In order to fully protect your crawl space, you need to combine proper insulation with a vapor barrier.
Yes, it can be done rather easily. You might be shocked to discover that nearly 40% of the air in your house comes from your crawl space. In a crawl space with mold, mildew, or other harmful germs, spores can leak right into your house and cause health problems for your family.
