Insulation in Burr Ridge, IL
Crawl space encapsulation and vapor barrier work in Burr Ridge typically runs $4,500-$10,500 depending on square footage and drainage, while spray foam runs $2.50-$5.50 per square foot. The big thing to know about Burr Ridge: the executive homes here, mostly built from the 1970s through early 2000s, were framed before modern energy codes, so under-insulated bonus rooms over garages and vented crawl spaces are chronic problems, not rare ones. Call (866) 751-4428 and we’ll give you a straight answer on what it’ll take to fix yours.
Why Burr Ridge Homes Are Different
Burr Ridge sits in IECC Climate Zone 5, which means single-digit winters and summer humidity that tests every thermal boundary in a house. The village’s slightly elevated position above the Des Plaines River valley makes wind-driven air infiltration worse than in lower-lying neighbors like Hodgkins, especially on the large, elaborate envelopes common here. Homes range from 3,000 to 6,000+ square feet, many with finished walkout basements, vaulted great rooms, and bonus rooms above three-car garages.
Those bonus rooms are the tell. The knee walls and floor decks in those spaces were rarely insulated to the same standard as the main living area, and air sealing around the rim joist was often an afterthought. Homeowners in Burr Ridge will run their HVAC harder for years in those rooms, thinking it’s a duct or equipment issue, when it’s actually a missing or collapsed insulation layer. The village straddling Cook and DuPage counties adds another wrinkle: permit requirements and energy code enforcement can differ street by street within the same subdivision, so the crew you hire needs to know which side of the line your address falls on.
Our Main Burr Ridge Services
Two jobs dominate the call list here: attic insulation and everything else. Attic work tends to be the first fix, the second is usually what the audit finds.
Attic Insulation in Burr Ridge
Vaulted and cathedral ceilings are everywhere in Burr Ridge, and the roof assemblies above them are complex, with hips, valleys, and cantilevered dormers that create air pathways most homeowners never see. Attic insulation here has to account for those rooflines, the Zone 5 thermal load, and the reality that original builders spec’d for aesthetics, not thermal performance. We check the existing depth, identify air leaks around top plates and penetrations, and bring the attic up to code for this specific climate. Full details on Attic Insulation in Burr Ridge.

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier in Burr Ridge
Burr Ridge homes with vented crawl spaces face a particular problem: the humid Midwest air enters through foundation vents, condenses on cool surfaces, and feeds mold, wood rot, and musty smells that eventually migrate into the living space above. Given that many of these houses are large, well-finished executive homes backing up to the Des Plaines River bluffs, the stakes are higher for a damp, smelly crawl space than they’d be in a modest 1950s ranch. Homeowners here aren’t just dealing with a damp crawl space; they’re protecting a significant investment. When damp air keeps showing up in a Burr Ridge basement or the first floor smells musty no matter how many dehumidifiers you run, the fix is usually encapsulation, not another band-aid. Learn more about Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Signs you need it
Musty smells that get stronger in summer, visible dampness on crawl space walls or floor, or rust forming on HVAC ducts and plumbing lines.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
A vapor barrier installation for a typical Burr Ridge crawl space runs $2,500-$4,500 depending on prep, drainage, and access.
How we do it
We remove any standing water and debris, lay a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier across the full floor, and seal it to foundation walls and piers. All seams are taped and reinforced.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Signs you need it
Wood rot showing on floor joists, condensation on foundation walls, or a crawl space that never dries out even after rain stops.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Full encapsulation of an average Burr Ridge crawl space typically lands between $5,000 and $8,000 including wall liners, sealed vents, and a dehumidifier.
How we do it
We seal the entire envelope: floor, walls, and rim joist. Vents are closed off with rigid foam, a dehumidifier is sized for the space, and all gaps are air-sealed.
What Crawl Space Encapsulation & Vapor Barrier Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Vapor barrier (basic) | $2,500 - $4,500 |
| Full encapsulation | $5,000 - $8,000 |
| Encapsulation with drainage correction | $7,000 - $10,500 |
| Dehumidifier (standalone add) | $1,200 - $2,500 |
How long does crawl space encapsulation take in Burr Ridge?
Most Burr Ridge crawl spaces are done in two to three days. Larger custom homes with finished basements or difficult access may take an extra day. You’ll know the schedule before we start.
Is a dehumidifier really necessary with encapsulation?
Yes, almost always. Encapsulation stops new moisture from entering, but the dehumidifier removes what’s already in the wood, concrete, and air of the crawl space. Skipping it usually leads to condensation problems later. Call (866) 751-4428 for specifics on your home.
Spray Foam Insulation in Burr Ridge
The elaborate rooflines on Burr Ridge’s custom homes, cathedral ceilings, dormers, and cantilevered sections, create dozens of thermal bypasses that fiberglass batts simply can’t address. Spray foam’s value here is that it air-seals and insulates in one pass, which matters for houses that were built before building science got serious about air leakage. In a Zone 5 climate with wind-driven pressure from the river valley, sealing the rim joist and complex roof assembly stops the stack effect that pulls conditioned air out of the house all winter. We install open-cell and closed-cell foam from Demilec and Icynene, choosing the product based on the specific cavity and vapor profile. Details on Spray Foam Insulation.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Rooms that won’t hold temperature, high heating bills despite good attic insulation, or drafts around baseboards and outlets on exterior walls.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Open-cell spray foam in Burr Ridge typically runs $2.50-$4.00 per square foot of applied area.
How we do it
We prep the area, apply the foam to the specified depth, and let it expand to fill the cavity. After cure, we trim any over-spray and verify the air seal.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Signs you need it
Moisture concerns in rim joist or basement areas, or when you need structural reinforcement along with the highest R-value per inch.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Closed-cell spray foam for a Burr Ridge job generally runs $3.50-$5.50 per square foot installed.
How we do it
We apply a continuous layer to the target area, building to the specified thickness. Closed-cell foam acts as both insulation and a vapor retarder, which matters in Burr Ridge’s humid summers.
What Spray Foam Insulation Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Open-cell spray foam | $2.50 - $4.00 per sq ft |
| Closed-cell spray foam | $3.50 - $5.50 per sq ft |
| Rim joist spray foam (whole house) | $1,800 - $3,200 |
| Garage ceiling spray foam | $1,500 - $2,800 |
Can you spray foam a finished attic in Burr Ridge?
Yes, and that’s a common job here given all the converted attic and bonus-room spaces. We apply foam to the underside of the roof deck, sealing the space and keeping the existing finish intact. Call (866) 751-4428 for a quote.
Is spray foam worth the extra cost over blown-in for Burr Ridge homes?
For complex roof assemblies and rim joists, yes. The air sealing alone usually pays back faster than the added R-value would suggest, especially with the wind-driven infiltration pressure common in the village’s elevated sections.
Blown-In Insulation in Burr Ridge
Blown-in insulation is the workhorse fix for Burr Ridge attics that were never topped up after construction, and for walls in the many homes here built before continuous exterior insulation became code. It’s fast, it fills irregular cavities well, and it can be installed without tearing out drywall, which matters when you’re dealing with finished spaces inside large executive homes. For attics that have settled or never had adequate depth to begin with, blowing in Owens Corning fiberglass or GreenFiber cellulose brings the R-value up to Zone 5 requirements in a single day. That’s the kind of improvement that shows up immediately in how the upstairs feels. More on Blown-In Insulation.
Blown-In Cellulose
Signs you need it
High ceiling rooms that are noticeably colder in winter, or an attic with less than 10-12 inches of existing insulation.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Blown-in cellulose in a Burr Ridge attic typically runs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot of coverage.
How we do it
We run the hose into the attic, blow the material to a consistent depth across the full floor, and rake it level. The whole job usually takes one day.
Dense-Pack Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Noticeably cold exterior walls in winter, especially in rooms over garages where original wall insulation was minimal or has settled.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Dense-pack wall insulation for an average Burr Ridge home runs $2,800-$5,500 depending on wall area and access.
How we do it
We drill small access holes, usually from the exterior, and inject the material at high density to fill every void. Holes are patched and finished to match.
What Blown-In Insulation Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Blown-in cellulose (attic) | $1.50 - $2.50 per sq ft |
| Blown-in fiberglass (attic) | $1.75 - $3.00 per sq ft |
| Dense-pack wall insulation | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Blown-in top-up (existing attic) | $800 - $1,600 |
Do I need to remove old insulation before blowing in new in Burr Ridge?
Not unless the old material is wet, rodent-contaminated, or contains vermiculite. Clean, dry fiberglass or cellulose can simply be topped up. We’ll check during the initial visit and tell you honestly. Call (866) 751-4428.
How long does blown-in insulation settle?
Cellulose settles slightly in the first few months, which is why we blow it to the manufacturer’s specified depth for the R-value you need in Zone 5. Fiberglass settles minimally. Both will perform as designed if installed to spec.
Radiant Barrier Installation in Burr Ridge
Burr Ridge’s hot, humid summers make the attic a heat reservoir, and that heat radiates down into the living space all afternoon. Radiant barrier installed on the underside of the roof deck reflects radiant heat before it ever enters the attic, which is a different job than insulation. For the large rooflines on Burr Ridge executive homes, that means an attic that stays 20-30 degrees cooler on a July afternoon, and an upstairs that no longer feels like a different climate than the rest of the house. In homes where the existing attic insulation is adequate but the upstairs still cooks in summer, radiant barrier often solves the problem fast. See Radiant Barrier Installation.
Attic Radiant Barrier
Signs you need it
Upstairs rooms that stay hot even after the sun goes down, or an attic that’s 130+ degrees on summer afternoons despite adequate insulation.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Attic radiant barrier for a typical Burr Ridge roofline runs $1.75-$2.75 per square foot of coverage.
How we do it
We staple the foil to the underside of the roof rafters, leaving a small air gap that’s essential for the reflective surface to work. Edges are secured against sagging.
Radiant Barrier & Ventilation
Signs you need it
An attic that’s both hot and humid, with condensation forming on the underside of the roof deck in winter.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Combined radiant barrier with ventilation improvements in Burr Ridge runs $2,200-$4,500 depending on roofline complexity and vent count.
How we do it
We install the barrier and then verify or add intake and exhaust ventilation so the attic can shed whatever heat and moisture does get through.
What Radiant Barrier Installation Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Attic radiant barrier | $1.75 - $2.75 per sq ft |
| Radiant barrier foil (basic attic) | $1,200 - $2,800 |
| Radiant barrier roof deck | $2.50 - $4.00 per sq ft |
| Barrier plus ventilation upgrade | $2,200 - $4,500 |
Does radiant barrier actually work in a climate like Burr Ridge?
Yes, for heat gain reduction it does. The reflective surface works best in humid, high-sun climates like ours, and the effect is immediate on hot afternoons. It’s not a replacement for insulation; it’s a supplement that targets radiant heat specifically.
Will radiant barrier damage my roof shingles?
No. The barrier is installed inside the attic on the rafters, not between the deck and shingles. Roof temperatures are not meaningfully affected by a properly installed interior radiant barrier in Burr Ridge’s climate. Call (866) 751-4428 with questions.
Insulation Removal & Replacement in Burr Ridge
Burr Ridge homes that have had rodent activity, roof leaks, or decades of accumulated dust often need the old insulation removed before new material goes in. You can’t just blow fresh insulation over contamination, the problem stays buried. And in this part of the village, where finished basements and large attics are common, a contaminated or saturated attic tends to affect a lot of square footage before anyone notices. We remove the old material, sanitize the space, and install new insulation to current Zone 5 standards. That’s the correct sequence, not a shortcut. Insulation Removal & Replacement is a job we do carefully, with contained removal equipment so dust doesn’t migrate into the living space.
Attic Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Insulation that’s visibly compressed, water-stained, or full of rodent droppings. Or an attic that’s never been cleaned since the house was built.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Attic insulation removal for a typical Burr Ridge attic runs $1,200-$3,000 depending on depth and access.
How we do it
We run a high-powered vacuum line from the attic to a containment bag outside, remove all existing material, and leave the attic floor clean and dry.
Vermiculite & Old Insulation Removal
Signs you need it
Pebbly, grayish-brown material in the attic that predates modern insulation, especially in homes built before 1990.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Vermiculite removal in Burr Ridge, including proper handling and disposal, typically runs $3,500-$8,000 depending on volume and testing requirements.
How we do it
We follow careful containment protocols for any vermiculite, removing it under negative pressure. We do not disturb or test it ourselves without a clear plan, and disposal follows local regulations.
What Insulation Removal & Replacement Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Attic insulation removal | $1,200 - $3,000 |
| Contaminated insulation removal | $2,000 - $4,500 |
| Vermiculite removal | $3,500 - $8,000 |
| Insulation replacement (attic) | $1,800 - $4,000 |
How do I know if my old insulation is still doing its job in Burr Ridge?
Look for moisture staining, rodent droppings, or compressed material that’s lost its loft. If your heating bills have crept up and the attic looks tired, it’s probably time. We’ll assess it honestly. Call (866) 751-4428.
Can you remove old insulation without shutting down the house?
Yes. We run contained removal equipment that keeps dust from pushing into the living space. Most Burr Ridge families stay home during the job with no disruption.
Attic Air Sealing in Burr Ridge
Attic air sealing matters more in Burr Ridge than it does in many neighboring communities because the large envelopes and complex rooflines simply have more seams, junctions, and penetrations than simpler ranches or colonials. Every recessed light, ceiling fan, top plate, and duct boot is a potential air hole that leaks conditioned air out of the house and pulls unconditioned air in. On a windy winter day, the stack effect in a 5,000-square-foot Burr Ridge home is substantial. Air sealing stops that before new insulation goes in, because insulation without an air seal is like wearing a down jacket in the wind, the gaps still move air through it. Attic Air Sealing is one of the highest ROI jobs we do in this village.
Attic Floor Air Sealing
Signs you need it
Dusty insulation that looks like air has been moving through it, or a noticeable temperature difference between the top floor and the attic floor in winter.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Full attic floor air sealing on a typical Burr Ridge home runs $900-$2,200 depending on the number of penetrations and attic size.
How we do it
We seal every gap between the living space and the attic: top plates, wire penetrations, plumbing vents, and interior wall caps. The goal is one continuous air barrier.
Can Light & Duct Boot Sealing
Signs you need it
Recessed lights that let cold air drop into the room, or duct boots that feel drafty around the edges.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Can light and duct boot sealing in Burr Ridge typically runs $250-$650 per room depending on fixture count.
How we do it
We seal around each fixture and duct boot with fire-rated materials where required, stopping the direct air path from attic to living space.
What Attic Air Sealing Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Attic floor air sealing (whole house) | $900 - $2,200 |
| Top plate & penetration sealing | $600 - $1,500 |
| Can light & duct boot sealing | $250 - $650 per room |
| Attic hatch sealing | $150 - $400 |
Should I air seal before or after new insulation?
Always before. Sealing first means the new insulation sits on top of a continuous air barrier, which is how it’s designed to perform. Doing it the other way buries the leaks and makes fixes harder later.
How much difference does attic air sealing actually make in Burr Ridge?
In a large custom home, we regularly see a 15-25% reduction in air leakage from sealing alone. That translates to lower heating bills and a more consistent temperature between floors. Call (866) 751-4428 for an assessment.
Wall Insulation in Burr Ridge
The walls in Burr Ridge’s custom homes often hide a surprise: original builders sometimes skimped on wall insulation in areas they thought wouldn’t show, like bonus rooms, knee walls, and the exterior walls of walkout basements. Those cavities are now some of the leakiest and least-insulated parts of the house. Injection foam and drill-and-fill techniques let us add real thermal resistance to finished walls without tearing out drywall, which matters when the wall in question is behind custom millwork or in a finished lower level. In a Zone 5 climate, a properly insulated wall changes how the whole room feels. Wall Insulation in Burr Ridge works best when it’s targeted at the specific cavities that are under-performing, not applied blindly.
Injection Foam Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Exterior walls that are cold to the touch in winter, or upstairs rooms over the garage that never reach the same temperature as the rest of the house.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Injection foam wall insulation for a full Burr Ridge home runs $3,500-$6,500 depending on wall area and cavity density.
How we do it
We drill small holes through the drywall or sheathing and inject the foam under controlled pressure. It expands to fill every cavity void before the holes are patched.
Exterior Wall Insulation
Signs you need it
Homes undergoing siding replacement, or walls that show thermal bridging through studs on an infrared camera.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Exterior wall insulation in Burr Ridge typically runs $5,000-$12,000 for a full home, depending on cladding type and square footage.
How we do it
We install rigid foam board or other suitable material over the sheathing, then work with your siding contractor to ensure a proper weather barrier and flashing sequence.
What Wall Insulation Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Injection foam wall insulation | $3,500 - $6,500 |
| Drill & fill wall insulation | $2,800 - $5,500 |
| Exterior wall insulation | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Interior wall soundproofing | $1,500 - $4,000 |
Can you insulate the bonus room over my garage without tearing out the ceiling?
Yes. The knee walls and floor deck can usually be accessed from the attic side or through small injection holes. That’s the most common fix for Burr Ridge’s bonus rooms, and it solves the chronic temperature problem directly. Call (866) 751-4428.
How do I know if my walls are already insulated?
An infrared camera will show it in minutes. Empty cavities show up as cold streaks, while insulated walls read more evenly. We check during a standard assessment, no guesswork.
Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing in Burr Ridge
Burr Ridge’s mature tree canopy and large lots attract squirrels, raccoons, and mice, and those animals love the big, quiet attics of executive homes built with generous soffit overhangs and complex rooflines. Once rodents get in, they contaminate insulation, chew wiring, and leave droppings throughout the space. Cleaning that up properly means more than vacuuming: the space should be sanitized, and the entry points sealed so they can’t come right back. Attic cleaning and rodent proofing is a job that rewards a methodical approach. Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing starts with exclusion, because cleaning a pest problem without closing the door just resets the clock.
Attic Cleanout
Signs you need it
Visible droppings, chewed insulation, or nesting material in the attic. Also, unexplained scratching sounds from above at dawn or dusk.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
A full attic cleanout for a Burr Ridge home runs $800-$2,000 depending on attic size and the level of contamination.
How we do it
We remove all contaminated insulation and debris, vacuum the space thoroughly, and dispose of contaminated material per local requirements.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
Signs you need it
Recurring rodent problems despite traps, or tunnels and droppings appearing near soffits, ridge vents, and gable ends.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
Rodent proofing and exclusion work in Burr Ridge typically runs $600-$1,800 depending on how many entry points need sealing.
How we do it
We identify every entry point, from roofline gaps to soffit intersections, and seal them with materials designed to withstand chewing and weather. The goal is a closed attic, permanently.
What Attic Cleaning & Rodent Proofing Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Attic cleanout | $800 - $2,000 |
| Attic sanitizing & decontamination | $500 - $1,500 |
| Rodent proofing & exclusion | $600 - $1,800 |
| Attic restoration (insulation replacement) | $1,800 - $4,000 |
Do I need to replace all my insulation after rodents get into the attic?
Usually yes, if the contamination is widespread. Droppings and urine get deep into the material and can’t be fully cleaned out. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what can be salvaged versus what should go. Call (866) 751-4428.
How do I keep rodents from coming back?
Exclusion is the only reliable answer. Sealing every roofline gap and soffit intersection, along with trimming back tree branches that touch the roof, removes the access points. We’ll walk you through what we found and what we sealed.
Home Energy Audit in Burr Ridge
A home energy audit is the fastest way to know exactly where a Burr Ridge home is losing energy, and in these large custom builds, the answers are rarely obvious. You might have a 15-year-old HVAC system that’s actually fine, while the real problem is a bank of recessed lights leaking attic air into the great room. Or a bonus room complaint that traces back to a missing knee wall cavity, not the ducts. A blower door test and thermal imaging give us the whole picture in about two hours. The result is a prioritized list: what to fix first, what it costs, and what you can ignore. Home Energy Audit is the smart first step before any major insulation work in Burr Ridge.
Blower Door Test
Signs you need it
High heating and cooling bills that don’t match the size of the house, or rooms that are drafty in winter and stuffy in summer.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
A blower door test for a Burr Ridge home typically runs $250-$450 as part of a full energy audit.
How we do it
We mount a calibrated fan in an exterior door frame, depressurize the house, and measure exactly how much air leaks through the envelope, and where.
Thermal Imaging Inspection
Signs you need it
Cold spots on walls or ceilings in winter, or rooms that feel different from the rest of the house with no obvious reason.
What it costs in Burr Ridge
A thermal imaging inspection in Burr Ridge runs $200-$400 and is often bundled with a full audit.
How we do it
We scan every wall, ceiling, and floor with an infrared camera to find missing insulation, air leaks, and thermal bridges that are invisible to the eye.
What Home Energy Audit Costs in Burr Ridge
| Item | Typical range in Burr Ridge |
|---|---|
| Full home energy audit | $450 - $800 |
| Blower door test (standalone) | $250 - $450 |
| Thermal imaging inspection | $200 - $400 |
| Duct leakage test | $150 - $350 |
How long does a home energy audit take in Burr Ridge?
A full audit on a typical Burr Ridge home takes about two to three hours. You’ll have a written report and a prioritized list of fixes the same day, not weeks later.
Will the audit tell me if I need new insulation or just air sealing?
Yes, that’s exactly what it’s for. The blower door and thermal imaging data pinpoint whether the problem is air leakage, insufficient insulation, or both. You’ll know what to fix first. Call (866) 751-4428 to schedule.

FAQs About Insulation in Burr Ridge, IL
How fast can we get scheduled for insulation work in Burr Ridge?
We schedule most Burr Ridge jobs within one to two weeks of finalizing the estimate, sooner in slower months and a bit longer during the pre-winter and mid-summer rush. A typical attic job takes a single day; full crawl space encapsulation can run one to three days depending on size and access.
Do we need a permit for attic or crawl space insulation in Burr Ridge?
Burr Ridge sits in IECC Climate Zone 5, where current targets are well above what many large, elaborate homes here were originally built to. Standard attic and crawl space insulation work usually doesn’t require a permit, but we build every job to meet current code-level R-values regardless of what’s already there.
How does the written estimate work before you start?
We inspect the attic, crawl space, or walls in person or from photos you send us, then give you a written estimate with the full scope and price before any work starts. That price doesn’t change once the job begins unless you ask us to add something partway through.
Do you also work outside Burr Ridge?
Yes. Along with Burr Ridge, our crews regularly work in Houston, Spring, The Woodlands, Katy, Pearland, and Humble, so if you own or manage multiple properties across that broader area, we can schedule them together instead of booking separate visits.
What happens to the old insulation you remove?
We bag and haul away insulation that’s failed, wet, moldy, or damaged by rodents as part of the removal cost already listed on your estimate, and we dispose of it properly. We don’t install new material over contaminated insulation without addressing the underlying problem first.

What Burr Ridge Customers Say
"Air sealing first, then blown-in over the top. He found a bathroom fan venting straight into the attic and fixed that too. Written price before they started, same price when they finished."
- Arjun Mehta"Spray foam in the garage ceiling under the bonus room. That room used to be unusable in summer. Walt talked me out of foaming the whole attic because it did not need it - saved me a couple thousand and I trust him more for it."
- Bud Larkin"Crawl space was wet every spring. They laid the heavy liner, sealed the vents, and put a dehumidifier down there. Floors are warm and the moisture meter he left reads fine now. He still answers when I text him a reading."
- Devon Pierce
