Cold floors and elevated heating costs in older Lake Country homes (Oyama, Winfield, Carr's Landing, and Okanagan Centre) are usually caused by an under-insulated crawlspace. We install closed-cell spray foam crawlspace insulation with complete coverage and no gaps, the proven method for Lake Country homes.

What every Lake Country crawlspace insulation job includes
Why Lake Country crawlspaces are often under-insulated
Many rancher-style and split-level homes in Lake Country were built in the 1960s through 1990s on perimeter foundations with an open crawlspace. Crawlspace insulation standards at the time were minimal, and many of these crawlspaces have never been properly addressed.
Lake Country's location north of Kelowna means temperatures regularly drop below freezing from October through March. An uninsulated crawlspace allows cold air to work upward through floor gaps and into living spaces. Fibreglass batts between floor joists, where they exist, compress over time and lose their value. Proximity to Okanagan Lake in parts of Lake Country also adds moisture to crawlspaces, accelerating deterioration.
Closed-cell spray foam applied to crawlspace walls and the ceiling, not between floor joists, creates a continuous insulated surface that eliminates air infiltration and resists moisture. See our spray foam page for product details.

Cold floors are almost always caused by an uninsulated crawlspace below. Cold air from the crawlspace moves upward through floor gaps into living spaces. Your heating system compensates but can't fully overcome the infiltration. Properly insulating the crawlspace eliminates the problem at the source.
Closed-cell spray foam is the most effective option. Unlike fibreglass batts, it delivers continuous coverage with no air infiltration pathways, resists mold growth, and holds its value for the life of the home, which is important given Lake Country's conditions near Okanagan Lake.
Yes. Properly insulating the crawlspace reduces temperature differentials that cause condensation and moisture buildup, a significant concern for Lake Country properties near Okanagan Lake.
Cost varies depending on the size of the crawlspace and its current condition. We provide free, itemized estimates with exact pricing before work starts. Eligible homeowners can access rebates to offset the cost.
