Crawl Space Insulation

Island Basement Systems is part of the Island Building Seal Group of companies.

Why insulate my crawl space?
Your crawl space plays an important role in the health and energy efficiency of your home. A poorly insulated crawl space can be responsible for up to 30 - 50% of the heat loss in your home! We work closely with energy efficiency advisors to ensure that our insulation systems meet the highest energy-saving standards and qualify for maximum grants (where applicable).

A warm, healthy crawl space! Spray foam insulation keeps cold out and heat in. This warm crawl space improves the comfort of living areas upstairs and is an ideal environment for your heating equipment, ductwork and hot water pipes. The vapour barrier (covering the ground) and sump pump protect against harmful mould, moisture and water damage. The crawl space can now be used as extra storage space!

What kind of insulation should I chose?
The right kind of insulation will increase the comfort of your home, save you money on your heating bill and reduce your environmental footprint! The wrong kind of insulation will leave you in the cold, be a waste of money, and in certain cases, be detrimental to the health of your home and its inhabitants.

Island Basement Systems, with its extensive knowledge and experience, chooses to insulate with Spray Foam! Spray foam insulation is the perfect solution because it provides high R-Value, a complete air barrier, it is easy to install in small awkward spaces and it bonds to almost any surface - concrete, wood, rock or brick. It expands to fill all nooks and crannies, creating one continuous insulation and air barrier system, sealing the cold out and keeping the warmth in.

Is my crawl space too difficult to work in?

At Island Systems, we’ve seen it all. Whether you have a new concrete crawl space, a short dirt, sand or gravel crawl space, or a down-right nasty crawl space, we can help. Our technicians are trained professionals who are used to working in these kinds of environments. Spray Foam insulation is excellent for insulating awkward areas such as tight crawl spaces. It adheres to concrete, wood, brick and rock and expands to fill the nooks and crannies where air leakage occurs.
