Insulation

Stop Throwing Money Out the Window!

It’s no secret that a well-insulated house operates much more efficiently than one that is not insulated properly. It also can greatly reduce the size of the HVAC equipment that you need to reach peak results.

The real secret lies in the understanding of our building codes and realizing these codes are minimum standards. For maximum efficiency and control of your home, the standard must be raised to meet modern, energy-efficient standards.

Retrofit vs. New Construction

Crawl Space & Basement Technologies works with existing homes. We do not work in the new construction arena. This has given us a very specialized knowledge of energy efficiency in an existing home, especially older construction. In new construction, it is easy to design a modern home with maximum insulation to gain the ultimate energy efficiency. However, an existing home must be retrofitted to receive its own realistic energy efficiency target. It usually is not feasible to remove all the sheetrock, ceilings, etc.. So, a retrofitted house or existing house can benefit by having attic insulation and crawl space insulation added to the home.

Raleigh Crawl Space and Attic Insulation

Crawl Space Insulation can range anywhere from a simple R-19 replacement to a full crawl space encapsulation where we use closed-cell spray foam or foam board on the wall of the crawl space to achieve maximum efficiency. There are other choices and combinations as well to seal the crawl space in your Raleigh home. Our team will inspect and report our findings to help you determine what the best option is for you.

Raleigh Attic Insulation is very similar to crawl space insulation in that both areas have virtually been ignored in building sciences in recent years. The attic is the second reason air is pulled from the crawl space inside the home. It is the second part of the “Stack Effect” or “Chimney Effect.” An attic can reach temperatures as high as 165 degrees in our hot, humid climate. This extreme heat causes great energy loss and inefficiency. The EPA reports that the average home loses over 40% of its heated or cooled air through a ventilated attic!

Get Control Over Your Rising Energy Costs and Choose Spray Foam Insulation for Your Raleigh Home!

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.

How Does Spray Foam Insulation Work?

A two-part mixture is applied by trained applicators to the inside surface of the walls, to the underside of the roof, and to the walls in basements and crawl spaces. The spray mixture expands rapidly to fill all cracks and voids completely, and permanently adhering to wood, masonry, metal studs, and joists.

Why Choose Spray Foam Over Other Types of Insulation?

First, its high R-Value per inch provides outstanding thermal performance, so it minimizes hot and cold spots that can affect the efficiency and comfort of a building. Second, its rigidity provides added structural integrity to your basement and attic walls. Third, it acts, as a secondary moisture vapor barrier to help reduce the risk of moisture intrusion in the wall cavity.

When it comes to insulation, no competing product can compare to the features of spray foam. Take a look at the insulation rating chart to see how conventional insulation measures up to foam.

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.

DAN B.

One of the Best

"Your company was one of the only ones in the Triangle who was able to tell me how the job would be done that would meet NC Building codes and what the current industry methods/materials are. 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"
