Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Foam Board Crawl Space Insulation Problem

Well the idea of ridged foam board on the the interior crawl space foundation wall is to have a termal break.  That means keeping the hot summer heat out and the cold of winter from getting into the crawl space.  The stack effect for any home is that as air is leaking out at the top of the home, replacement air enters in at the lowest level or weakest point.  Stopping air from getting into the home is important for health and lowering the power bill.  In this case the water leaking into the crawl space was causing more of a problem than insulating the walls.  CleanSpace™ encapsualtion combined with air sealing helped this homeowner with their health and comfort concerns.  The savings off their power bill will paid for the home improvement over time.
