Our solutions effectively address issues commonly experienced during cold weather:
- High heating bills.
- Cold floors above the crawl space.
- Cold drafts coming up from the crawl space.
- Frozen pipes due to inadequate insulation.
- Cold crawl space ductwork that cools the heated air from your furnace.
Your elevated utility bills might be linked to your vented crawl space
Fiberglass insulation in your crawl space ceiling won’t shield you from frozen pipes, chilly floors, or skyrocketing heating bills. Additionally, ductwork in a vented crawl space poses another issue. External air and temperatures chill your ducts in winter and heat them in summer, causing your HVAC system to work harder to regulate air temperature. This can reduce system efficiency by up to 25-40 percent.
Here's how we keep the cold out of your crawl space
Leave behind the hassle of temporary fixes for your crawl space concerns and allow us to provide a lasting solution to your cold weather issues. Our approach doesn’t stop at simply winterizing crawl space pipes or vents; we comprehensively seal and winterize the entire foundation of your crawl space, ensuring that your plumbing and heating systems are integrated within your home’s conditioned space. Here’s an overview of our process:
- Air seal & insulate the rim joist.To counteract the significant heat loss that occurs through the rim joist resting on your crawl space foundation, we employ a two-step approach. First, we seal any gaps around the perimeter of your foundation to prevent frigid air from infiltrating. Next, we address conductive heat loss by insulating the rim joist using foam insulation. This dual strategy effectively minimizes heat loss and ensures a warmer and more energy-efficient crawl space.
- Insulate crawl space walls with rigid foam. Our solution involves installing high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation along the crawl space walls. Unlike fiberglass insulation, SilverGlo™ effectively prevents air leaks, retains its R-value indefinitely, and is impervious to moisture absorption or damage. This ensures superior insulation performance and long-term protection against heat loss and moisture-related issues.
- Seal & insulate the crawl space floor. For colder climates, we advise installing TerraBlock™ foam insulation on the crawl space floor. This unique flexible insulation material is then overlaid with our durable poly CleanSpace® moisture barrier, effectively sealing the crawl space from external conditions. This comprehensive solution ensures optimal insulation and moisture control, safeguarding your home from cold weather-related issues.
Our patented CleanSpace® crawl space products are engineered to function in harmony, offering comprehensive sealing, insulation, and moisture management.

Allow us to proactively address issues arising from your vented crawl space
Other contractors and general home repair professionals lack the specialized expertise and exclusive access to our innovative products for crawl space repair. Our comprehensive system ensures complete sealing, insulation, and moisture control, surpassing the capabilities of traditional contractors.
An extra bonus: Year-round benefits
The enhancements we implement to winterize your crawl space remain effective throughout the year, enhancing interior comfort and energy efficiency consistently. Additionally, your crawl space will not only function optimally but also maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Prevent condensation issues. Excess humidity within the crawl space can result in condensation forming on colder surfaces such as ducts and pipes. This can subsequently lead to mold, wood rot, and duct leaks. Effective insulation and sealing of the crawl space will effectively address and resolve these issues.
