Call UsElevate the comfort and cost-effectiveness of your home with advanced crawl space insulation from Jamison Waterproofing.
Many homeowners often overlook their crawl spaces, which can harbor numerous unseen problems. These spaces play a significant role in a house’s energy profile, with issues like air leakage leading to higher energy costs, colder floors, and moisture-related troubles.
Untamed moisture can also lead to wood decay, jeopardizing your crawl space’s structural integrity.
At Jamison Waterproofing, we aim to curtail moisture accumulation and prevent ensuing damage through our innovative approach to crawl space insulation.
At Jamison Waterproofing, we specialize in installing different crawl space insulation types to create a clean, efficient crawl space that enhances your home’s comfort and lowers energy costs.

Options for Crawl Space Insulation:
Fiberglass Insulation
Available in batts, blankets, or blown-in formats, fiberglass insulation is a traditional choice. It’s used especially in vented crawl spaces, creating a barrier between the crawl space and the living area above. However, its effectiveness hinges on proper moisture control, as vented crawl spaces can let in moist air.
Spray Foam Insulation
Known for its high performance and versatility, spray foam insulation excels in R-value, mold and moisture resistance, durability, and air sealing. This type of insulation can be applied in various areas, including attics and walls, and is particularly effective in both vented and unvented crawl spaces.
Rigid Foam Board Insulation
Comprising materials like EPS, XPS, or polyiso, this insulation is ideal for crawl space conditions. It resists moisture absorption, maintains its R-value, and doesn’t support mold growth. Typically installed against foundation walls, it helps include the crawl space within the home’s thermal envelope, enhancing overall energy efficiency.
Spray Foam Insulation for Efficiency
Spray foam insulation stands out for its excellent gap and crack filling capabilities, air leak prevention, and high R-value. It’s also waterproof and resistant to mold growth. This insulation can transform your home into a more energy-efficient and comfortable space. Contact us today for a consultation and estimate.
Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation:
-
- • Fills gaps and cracks effectively
- • Prevents air leaks and provides insulation
- • Doesn’t compress or lose R-value
- • Waterproof and mold-resistant
Rigid Foam Board Insulation
Applied to foundation walls, this insulation remains efficient, unaffected by moisture, and firmly in place.
Rigid foam insulation is ideal for crawl spaces due to its resistance to moisture, mold, and loss of insulating value. It doesn’t compress or shift, providing durable protection.
In both crawl spaces and basements, rigid foam is typically mounted on the foundation walls. This change in insulation placement brings the crawl space into the home’s thermal envelope, boosting energy performance.

Fiberglass Insulation in Crawl Spaces
Fiberglass insulation, when used in dry conditions, can effectively insulate crawl spaces. This is particularly true for vented crawl spaces, where it’s installed between floor joists.
In unvented crawl spaces, it’s often used on perimeter walls, as these areas are treated as part of the home’s internal space.
The key to fiberglass insulation’s longevity is managing moisture effectively, which involves using vapor barriers and other moisture control techniques.
