A crawl space can affect the comfort of rooms above it. The right insulation location depends on whether the crawl space is vented or enclosed and where the home’s conditioned boundary is intended to be.
Standing water, damp materials and damaged existing insulation should be reviewed before an upgrade. Tell CJM about access, floor comfort and any moisture concerns. Insulation is not a substitute for drainage, pest correction or a separately designed encapsulation system.
What to discuss with CJM
- Review access, existing insulation and visible moisture concerns.
- Discuss the floor or perimeter approach appropriate to the space.
- Coordinate necessary preparation and the agreed insulation work.

Should crawl-space insulation go in the floor or walls?
It depends on the crawl-space design and thermal boundary. A site assessment is needed.
Can wet insulation simply be covered?
The moisture source and damaged material should be assessed before new insulation is installed.
