The insulation in your crawl space may need to be replaced as your home ages. Some signs that your crawl space insulation may need replacement are:
- Utility bills on the rise. If your home’s energy consumption increases, it is time to check your crawl space insulation.
- Interior temperatures change. If your home is warmer than usual in the summer and colder in the winter, the temperature variation may be due to poor insulation in your crawl space.
- Traces of pests. If you notice signs of pests in your crawl space, it is time have your crawl space evaluated and consider crawl space encapsulation.
- Wet insulation. Damp or moist insulation can result in mold and mildew and needs to be replaced. Even if it fully dries, the spores can remain.
Crawl space encapsulation is one of the best ways to protect your home’s structure from moisture, and protect your family from mold and pests. Contact our professionals at The Hayes Company in Nashville to ask about replacing your crawl space insulation.
