Fairfax VA Crawl Space Spray Foam Insulation Project

This Fairfax VA homeowner was experiencing comfort issues in their home.  The floors were often hot in the summer and cold in the winter.  They had noticed a need to repeatedly adjust their thermostat to try and make if feel cooler or warmer.  The called us to help and our Home Performance Sales Pro Pedro went out to visit and see if he could find a solution.  During his no cost,  whole home inspection, Pedro was able to identify that the crawl space was uncontrolled and vented.  This meant that outside air and temperatures were able to impact the crawl space and the temperature of the rooms above.  Vents in the crawl space also allowed for dust and allergens from outside to make their way into the home and resulted in poor air quality in the home.  Pedro advised that the homeowners should have the space encapsulated and insulated from the outside.  This meant sealing up the vents and insulating the walls of the crawl space.  The crawl space is now closed off, controlled and able to be used for storage if needed.  The air quality in the home is improved and the energy cost to heat and cool the home will now be lower.
