CT Crawl Space Repair – Honest Local Service in Connecticut

Crawlspaces are commonly found in homes throughout CT & RI. Crawlspaces can sometimes go overlooked, especially in older homes. Crawlspaces can actually lead to a host of home health issues many of which can be difficult to locate and find.

The crawlspace is one of the first places to look if your looking to increase your homes energy efficiency.

What is a Crawlspace?

Crawlspaces are typically found in homes that either lack a basement or have not been built on a concrete slab. They’re installed with the purpose of generating air circulation throughout the home or building and also to allow access for home repairs. Pipes, substructures and other hidden elements of the home can also be accessed thru most crawlspaces.

Why Should You Insulate Your Crawl Space?

No crawlspace is meant to be used as a living space, but many people use them for storage. However, storing items in an open crawlspace is never a good idea because of moisture, humidity, pests and other factors that can result in irreversible damage. The rest of your home is also at risk as pests and moisture can result in structural damage and cause family members to get sick with asthma and other allergens.

By insulating your crawlspace, these and other issues can be rectified immediately.

Reduced Symptoms of Respiratory Illness / Allergies
