Crawl Space Insulation for Forsyth homeowners
The historic homes around downtown Forsyth were built with no floor insulation at all, and many still have none. High ceilings, single-pane windows and a bare floor system over an open crawl space add up to a house that is expensive to heat.
Piedmont clay under Monroe County holds water, and on rolling ground runoff arrives from uphill and keeps the soil under the house damp. Anything added to a vented crawl space here without addressing that has a short life.
The approach on an old house is light-touch and effective. Seal the ground, then insulate the perimeter of the sealed space. Nothing is fastened into original framing that matters, nothing is visible, and the rooms above stop losing heat straight into the crawl space.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Forsyth home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
- Removes old, damaged insulation
