We offer both insulation removal and installation services to get your home back to its optimal energy efficiency level.
It is common to be concerned that the insulation in your home’s attic and walls remains viable and effective. What you might not have thought about is that it is just as important to consider if the insulation under your home, either in a crawlspace or basement, is still able to do its job. The insulation in this area of your Winston-Salem, North Carolina home is more susceptible to damage than you might think. Moisture issues, wildlife, insects, and other potential dangers exist there, making the need for insulation removal more common than you might think.
At Dogwood Crawlspaces, we offer both insulation removal and installation services to get your home back to its optimal energy efficiency level. If you don’t have reliable insulation in the crawlspace or basement, your floors can feel pretty cold during the winter, and that cold can radiate into the room, causing your furnace to work harder. It is far better to invest in replacement insulation than to pay more for utilities, as well as HVAC repairs, or even face premature replacement of your heating and cooling equipment.

One other service that we offer that you might not be aware of is insulation. We can remove and replace insulation at your home, ensuring optimal energy efficiency. Keep reading to see some common questions we get about insulation, then contact us to have your home’s needs assessed.
Why should I replace my home’s insulation?
Moisture, bug infestations, and aging can all cause insulation to degrade over time. When insulation loses its efficacy, your home may become less energy-efficient, resulting in higher utility bills and discomfort.
How does mold impact insulation?
Mold can form in insulation when moisture is present, particularly in attics, basements, and crawlspaces. Moldy insulation not only loses its insulating properties, but it also offers major health dangers, such as respiratory problems and allergies.
What signs indicate my insulation needs to be replaced?
Common signs include uneven temperatures and high energy costs, as well as drafts or chilly spots in the home. Additionally, if you’ve recently had issues with pests or water damage, it’s a good idea to have our team check out your insulation. Finally, if your insulation looks compacted, discolored, or feels moist, reach out to us to see how we can help.
Why should I hire a professional team?
A professional team like us will fully assess insulation needs, use high-quality materials, and adhere to local safety norms. Additionally, our team has a keen eye for the details, which helps ensure future issues are avoided by fixing any moisture or ventilation issues that exist.
What is crawlspace insulation and why does it matter in the Winston-Salem area?
Crawlspace insulation is material placed under your home to reduce heat transfer between the ground and your living space. In the Piedmont Triad’s humid climate, proper insulation minimizes heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, improving comfort and reducing energy costs. It also helps manage moisture and supports healthier indoor air quality
What insulation materials are best for crawlspaces in North Carolina homes?
Closed-cell spray foam, rigid foam board, and properly installed batt insulation are common options. Spray foam and rigid board resist moisture better and often last longer, while batt and roll materials are cost-effective for floor joist insulation. Our pros will recommend the best solution based on moisture levels and airflow.
Will crawlspace insulation in Winston-Salem help lower my energy bills?
Yes. Proper insulation reduces heat gain and loss, helping your HVAC system work more efficiently. Many homeowners see noticeable reductions in heating and cooling bills after installing or upgrading crawlspace insulation.
Should moisture control come before insulation?
Absolutely. In humid regions like Winston-Salem and surrounding towns, moisture is a primary concern. It’s best to fix water intrusion, drainage problems, and humidity issues (often with vapor barriers or dehumidifiers) before installing new insulation. This prevents mold growth and extends insulation life.
What role does crawlspace encapsulation play with insulation?
Encapsulation involves sealing crawlspace walls and floors with a heavy-duty vapor barrier and often adding insulation. This creates a dry, controlled environment, which significantly improves energy efficiency, air quality, and long-term structural protection in North Carolina homes.
Can I install crawlspace insulation myself in Winston-Salem?
While DIY is possible, crawlspace work can be hazardous and technically challenging. Improper installation can trap moisture, making problems worse. Hiring a local professional ensures the job meets safety standards and performs well over time.
