Critical Steps to Eliminate Wet Crawl Space Insulation is Discussed in Clean Crawls’ New Article
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 18, 2015 -- For most people, crawl space cleanliness is not their top priority. But in their latest article, Clean Crawls warns homeowners of the risk of ignoring wet insulation in your crawl space. These crawl space professionals give additional instruction on how to address the issue of wet insulation.
Unfortunately, when fiberglass insulation gets wet, it loses its ability to insulate and becomes a threat to a home’s structural integrity. The article states, “Once fiberglass gets wet, it tends to compact and lose its insulating abilities. In addition, wet fiberglass is an ideal breeding ground for mold and pests.”
The safest option for dealing with wet fiberglass insulation is to completely remove and discard the damaged insulation. Clean Crawls states, “In most cases, the damaged insulation is not salvageable and should be removed to protect the crawl space from mold and so that new insulation can be installed in its place.”
One of the best crawl space insulation options is spray foam insulation. Unlike its counterparts, spray foam insulation is completely water resistant. Because of this, homeowners that invest in spray foam insulation have no need to fear when they have bad crawl space conditions.
