Insulation Services - Oakhurst, NJ Homeowner Faces Crawl Space Leaks Missed by Previous Contractors

Many homeowners, like this one in Oakhurst, NJ, believe their crawl space is already insulated, but hidden issues often remain. When we opened the hatch, we found no air sealing or weather stripping to keep outside air out. The vapor liner wasn’t sealed to the walls or around pipes and the sill plates and rim joists were left uninsulated. The previous contractor also left duct leaks, with visible gaps that still need sealing. At the return, these gaps pull dirty crawl space air past the filter and back into the system, making the filter essentially useless. Leaking supply ducts further waste energy and raise the homeowner’s bills.
