How Is Spray Foam Installed in a Crawlspace?
Before installing crawl space insulation in Akron, OH, your spray foam insulation contractor will remove any old insulation from your crawlspace. This is a vital step because spray foam insulation needs a clean substrate to adhere to.
Your spray foam insulation contractor will know best whether the walls need to be insulated or the underside of the floor needs to be insulated as well. This depends on whether there is a furnace or ductwork in your crawlspace. If there is ductwork present then your contractor will spray the exterior of your crawlspace walls and also lay plastic on the ground. If there are no duct works then only the underside of the floor might be sprayed.
The plastic is laid down to protect the walls of the crawlspace. This plastic will cover the floor and any support beams if present. It will then overlap around the beams to prevent any moisture from penetrating. Then the plastic is rolled around a foot up the walls and the spray form is installed. However, if the underside of the floor is being insulated, it does not require plastic to be laid down. |
