Why Insulating Your Crawl Space Is Important

With proper crawl space insulation Tacoma homeowners can ensure they aren’t overlooking this important area of their home. And it is easy to overlook it, especially if you don’t really use it for much. However, properly insulating the space can actually help to protect your home structurally, as it gets rid of any potentially destructive pests, or standing water. If you find you just aren’t using that space, insulating it can provide you with some useful storage space, instead of a cold, damp and uninviting area. Outdoor tools, seldom used sporting equipment and holiday decorations can all be stored there. An insulated crawl space also means fewer unwanted fluctuations in temperature in your home, and lower energy bills year round. On average, it will cost between $2,000 and $4,000 although the size and condition of the space determines the final cost.
