Cold floors in January and a hot second story in July usually trace back to what is under the house.
Insulation is the comfort side of a crawl space, and in Macon it is the part homeowners feel every day. Cold floors in winter, an air conditioner that never quite keeps up in August, and rooms over the crawl space that are always a few degrees off from the rest of the house.
Most of what we pull out has failed the same way. Fiberglass batts stapled between the joists absorb moisture from the humid air below, get heavy, sag away from the subfloor, and eventually fall. Wet fiberglass insulates almost nothing, and it holds water against the wood it was meant to protect.
So the sequence matters. The ground gets sealed first, because insulating a damp crawl space just gives the moisture something new to soak. Then insulation goes in with moisture-appropriate material, placed where it does the most good, which in a sealed space is usually the perimeter walls.
Macon homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
