Crawl space spray foam insulation coats the block walls and rim of a short crawl space, keeping the kitchen floor warm and the water lines thawed. Closed cell foam holds back ground moisture as well as cold air.
Insurance covers each crawl space we work in, and a written quote comes after a free look under the floor.
Foaming the space below is what warms the floor above. Many Woolwich farmhouses were added onto over the years. The back kitchen or mudroom often sits over a short crawl space with open vents.
In winter, cold air pours through those vents and chills the floor. Pipes running through the space can freeze and split. Closing the vents and foaming the walls keeps the space near house temperature.
Crawl space spray foam belongs on the walls and rim, not stuck to the floor joists overhead. Once the walls are sealed, the crawl space counts as heated space. Pipes and ducts stay warm, and moisture stays out.
Foaming the floor instead would leave the pipes out in the cold. We explain the choice during the visit.
A ground sheet finishes the job. A dirt floor gives off moisture all year long. We lay heavy poly over the soil and seal it to the walls, then spray the walls and rim.
You end up with a dry, clean crawl space that does not smell and does not freeze.
Some crawl spaces under West Montrose and Winterbourne farmhouses are only a foot or two high. We bring hoses and work lights into small spaces and work slowly around wires and pipes. If access is very tight, we tell you before we quote. For full basements, see our basement foam page.
Crawl space spray foam is a common fix under the old summer kitchens and woodsheds that got closed in and turned into living space. On many farmhouses here, the back wing sat on a few stones or a low block wall with bare dirt underneath.
Those wings are usually the coldest rooms in the house. Once foam covers the walls and the ground sheet is down, the room above warms up and the line to the kitchen sink stops freezing on the coldest nights. If the old wall is loose stone, we look closely and tell you whether it needs repair before any foam goes on.
Crawl space spray foam on the walls runs $3.50 to $7 per square foot in Ontario. Access affects price more than size does. Phone (226) 407-7743 to book a free visit, or return to our spray foam insulation home page for more.
One trip down the lane often covers the farmhouse, the shop and the hog barn.
Pole barn spray foam insulation bonds to the roof steel and wall sheets of a post frame building, so frost and sweat have no cold face to form on. A single closed cell layer wraps the ribs and the girts.

Livestock barn spray foam insulation keeps the moisture from animals' breath off the roof and walls, so steel stays dry and rafters stay sound. Closed cell foam takes a pressure washer and gives pests no fluff to nest in.

Workshop spray foam lets you heat a steel shop or old drive shed and actually keep the heat. Foam across the walls and roof stops drafts and keeps warm air from escaping through bare sheeting.

Attic spray foam insulation plugs the leaks in a ceiling and adds R-value on the same trip. It suits century farmhouses, village homes and newer houses with awkward roof lines.

Basement spray foam turns a cold foundation into a warm, dry wall that is ready for studs. Closed cell foam grips block, stone and poured concrete alike.

Garage spray foam stops the chill that seeps from a garage into the bedroom above it and the kitchen beside it. It also turns the garage into a warmer spot to work, park and store things.

New home spray foam fills the walls, rim boards and roof of a house while the studs are still bare. That stage is the easiest time to build a tight, quiet, efficient home.

Closed cell spray foam cures hard and dense, so one coat of it insulates, air seals and blocks water vapour together. We spray more of it on farm buildings, foundations and steel roofs than anything else.

A few details about the building are enough, and a call follows to fit a visit around milking or chores. Calls go to +1 (226) 407-7743.
