A crawlspace can quietly drive up heating costs, make first-floor rooms feel cold, and allow damp outdoor air to affect the home above. To insulate crawlspace walls correctly in New England, the work must address more than R-value. Moisture, air leakage, drainage, and...

A basement that feels cold, smells musty, or sends a draft across the first-floor living room is rarely just a basement problem. It is a building-envelope problem. Proper basement insulation helps stop the steady loss of heat through foundation walls, rim joists, and...
