Fixing a Poorly Insulated Crawl Space to Keep a Spring Lake, NJ Home Comfortable

A homeowner in Spring Lake, NJ, struggled with cold floors and uncomfortable rooms. During our inspection, we found exposed rim joists lacking insulation, allowing cold air to seep in. To address this, we applied spray foam to the rim joists, significantly reducing air leakage. Additionally, we discovered a poorly insulated crawl space and improved it by insulating the rim joists, installing foam board on necessary walls, and adding a vapor barrier where needed. By sealing these areas, we not only enhanced comfort but also helped prevent pipes from freezing by keeping cold air out. Now, this home is noticeably warmer and more energy efficient.
