Upgrade your insulation, lower your energy costs

crawl space basement insulation in cary If your Cary home is more than 15 years old, there is a good chance keeping it cool and comfortable is costing you thousands of dollars every year, largely unnecessarily.

Why is that? Because home energy efficiency and insulation technology have made a lot of progress in the last 15 years–but NC building codes don’t reflect these advancements.

Building insulation codes are in place to set a MINIMUM standard–a standard which is, unfortunately, pretty low.

If your home meets only these minimum standards, then you are getting hit with a double-whammy. Not only are you paying for the energy your home is losing, your HVAC unit is working overtime to compensate–which can significantly reduce its lifespan.

Cary’s Retrofitting Specialists

It’s easy to incorporate energy efficiency and insulation advancements into the design of a new home.

But bringing an existing home up to today’s standards takes true expertise.

At Crawl Space & Basement Technologies, we work only on existing Cary homes, providing crawl space and basement sealing with spray foam insulation. Our highly-trained specialists have the experience necessary to tackle the diverse and sometimes complex challenges of retrofitting an older home for maximum energy efficiency. We will help you find a Cary crawl space basement insulation solution for your unique situation, no matter what the challenge or budget.

Your Home and Energy Loss

A home’s two biggest energy “thieves” are typically your attic and your crawl space.

Unfortunately, most older homes were built without attic insulation. This can lead to incredibly hot attic temperatures (165 degrees or more!), which can damage your stored items and significantly impact the temperature of the rest of your home.

Cary’s hot, humid climate, in conjunction with an uninsulated attic, leads to something called the “stack effect”–where the hot air outside of your air-conditioned house pushes cooler indoor air down from the ceiling and out of cracks in your crawl space or basement. This can lead to the loss of up to 40% of your conditioned air, according to the EPA.

Similarly, crawl spaces that have no insulation also lead to large quantities of lost energy, contribute greatly to poor air quality and leave your home primed for moisture and mold issues. (Read more HERE about what exactly happens in a crawl space.)

Upgrade your Crawl Space Basement Insulation in Cary to Save on Energy Costs

Crawl Space Insulation replacement can be a relatively simple process. Some homes only need an R-19 replacement, while others require a complete crawl space encapsulation. A complete sealing uses closed-cell spray foam or foam board on the walls of your crawl space. Our experts will do a full investigation and evaluation of your crawl space and work with you to determine the solution that will best meet your needs and budget.

Spray Foam Insulation for Attics and Crawl Spaces

Spray foam is one of the most universal, budget-friendly options to improve your home’s energy efficiency.

In a nutshell, our trained specialists will spray a foam mixture onto the inside of your home’s walls, the underside of your roof, and throughout the basement or crawl space. The foam then expands to seal cracks and voids to stop energy leakage and creating an additional barrier to heat/air transfer.

Why is Spray Foam Better than Other Types of Insulation?

A high R-Value Foam provides exceptional thermal performance by minimizing hot and cold spots.
Acts as padding and reduces weak points. Unlike fiberglass insulation, foam provides additional structural integrity to your home.
Additional moisture prevention. As a secondary vapor barrier, the foam prevents moisture from accessing the wall cavity.

You can’t beat the benefits of Spray Foam Insulation! It seals your home from air and moisture, reduces your utility bills, strengthens your home and protects your family’s health from dangerous mold, pollutants, and allergens.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Experience From Start To Finish

Excellent experience from start to finish. The owner came out to quote the work and to do an assessment. He took his time to explain everything in detail to me of the benefits of the different levels of encapsulation. He made his recommendation based off of my home and not just the highest price service. Upfront, honest, and great follow through. Cannot ask for much more. Also price was comparable to other quotes but the quality of work was FAR BETTER when I looked at photos of other folks and they have a custom process that no one else uses to also vent under the plastic!

My Builder Was So Impressed

I was having some moisture issues in my basement. I had three companies come out before Jason. They all wanted to do the same thing which was dig up all the yard around my house and re-apply a new membrane. I would have sold my house and moved away before I paid what they were asking.
Anyhow, Jason came in and gave a thorough explanation of what his plan was, why the older methods only work short term, and how he completely guarantees all of his work. It wasn't cheap but it was small potatoes compared to what the other folks wanted to do.
Additionally, my builder was so impressed with what Jason and his team had done they wanted a bunch of business cards for other clients.

Very Professional & Responsive

Very professional and responsive. They coordinated everything, including city permit inspection and electrician. They cleaned up everything and were great at explaining what needed to be done and then what was done. Great to see there's still some excellent, reputable local businesses out there who provide exceptional service.

Pleased With The Results

We utilized Crawl space and basement tech to encapsulate our new home before any damage could be done. They were not only competitively priced, but very knowledgeable and professional. We used the other guys in our last home and we now know what is truly expected and are pleased with the results.

Thank You

We have had dampness in our crawl space for years. We had done the typical thing by applying plastic initially on our own & had some help from another company, but it never seemed right. Our neighbor had used Crawlspace & Basement Technologies & was so pleased with the results.
Jason Mullins, the owner, came to our home, assessed our space & gave his recommendations. He was very personable but informative & thorough with his explanations. We felt confident choosing him & did not seek a second opinion.
Everyone involved with getting the job done, from the office to the guys doing the work were great.
My husband & I thank you!

Becky M.

So Impressed!

Jason drew me pictures, showed me diagrams and provided a thorough explanation and education about what needed to be done and how he would recommend doing it.

I was so impressed with him and the company's services that I hired him on the spot and canceled my other appointment. They began work almost immediately, and everyone with whom I came into contact was efficient and friendly and clearly wanted me to be happy with the results.

It's a great feeling to do business with a company that takes such pride in its work and believes in giving value to customers.

I did a lot of research..I know what I am talking about and would recommend Jason’s company to anyone needing encapsulation"

Keeps Things Clean

"Your company is very professional. Most companies do not clean up after themselves, so the homeowner has to do it! Your guys left the area very clean. Don’t let your sales rep go. He is very knowledgeable! Great Job! We have given your information to our neighbors, so I am sure we will be seeing you next door very soon"
