Raised floors give up heat and cooling to the open space below. We insulate crawl spaces and pier-and-beam floors with closed-cell spray foam for homes in Azle, Fort Worth, Weatherford and across North Texas, after a free energy audit shows where the floor is losing energy.
The same order we follow on every project: measure first, then insulate where it pays, then prove the result.
The envelope walkthrough covers the attic, the crawl space, walls, windows and doors, with real numbers on existing R-values and condition.
Closed-cell foam is what we use where a floor or crawl space needs insulation that can handle moisture.
In shallow spots like rim joists, closed-cell's higher R-value per inch gets more insulation into less depth.
A post-install thermal scan confirms coverage, and we walk you through the result.
Both are common in the older North Texas housing stock we audit. Our guide to open cell vs closed cell spray foam explains why closed cell is the right foam for both.
The problem: Many older houses sit on pier-and-beam foundations, with air moving under the floor. Raised floors give up heat and cooling to the open space below.
The fix: Closed-cell spray foam on the underside of the floor, sized to the depth the framing allows. More on our Fort Worth page.
The problem: Older homes often sit over vented crawl spaces, so the floor is the only thing between the living space and outside air.
The fix: Insulating the floor from below is one of the higher-impact fixes on those houses. More on our Weatherford page.
Moisture is part of the picture in a crawl space, and that is where closed-cell foam earns its higher price. Our spray foam insulation page covers both foams in detail.
The properties that make it the right foam for floors and crawl spaces.
Spray foam is unforgiving: temperature, ratio, pass technique and depth all have to be right.
Walk-through with blower door and thermal imaging. Identify where foam belongs and how thick it needs to be.
Cover floors, mask penetrations, protect HVAC and electrical before any foam goes on.
Two-component proportioner heated to spec. Even passes, controlled depth, no missed bays.
Post-install thermal scan to confirm coverage. Trim, clean up and walk you through the result.
A crawl space is where moisture is part of the picture. Closed-cell foam is rigid, sheds water and acts as both an air and vapor barrier, so it is what we use where a floor or crawl space needs insulation that can handle moisture.
Usually, yes. Closed-cell foam has to bond to the surface it is sprayed on, so existing fiberglass generally comes out first. We inspect first and tell you during the walk-through whether removal is part of the job.
Many are. Older homes on pier-and-beam foundations or over vented crawl spaces lose heat and cooling through the floor, and insulating it from below is one of the higher-impact fixes on those houses. The free energy audit tells you whether it is the right first step for yours.
Yes. We are based in Azle and serve Fort Worth, Dallas, Weatherford, Springtown, Highland Park and the surrounding North Texas area. If you are within an hour of Azle, we likely cover you. Call 817-670-5671 and ask.
The audit is free. If your crawl space is already in good shape, we will tell you that, too.
