Stafford VA Crawl Space Wall Insulation and Air Sealing

This home in Stafford VA had a crawl space that was cold, dirty, wet and had mildew collecting all over.  The existing insulation attached to the crawl space ceiling was loose and smelled musty.  The floors of the crawl space were covered with dirty old plastic that was trapping moisture allowing more mildew to appear.  Our production crew cleared out all of the old insulation material and plastic floor covering before spraying to help prevent future issues.  The dirt floors were smoothed over to make a more level and even surface.  The open vents of the crawl space were sealed and then Silver Glo insulation paneling was installed on all of the crawl space walls.  Smaller blocks of Silver Glo were cut to fit inside of the rim joists to the home and were air sealed in with Spray Foam.  This air seal will eliminate the opportunity for outside temperatures and moisture to impact the conditions inside of the crawl space.  Insulating the walls eliminates the need to insulate the ceiling of the crawl space.
