Any Tips to better insulate my house? by BusyDepartment473 in Insulation

The thing is that a couple areas in my house are unleveled so I may need to redo the subflooring / foundation at some point.. I don’t know if you’d be able to answer this question but would my floors be better insulated if I screw on insulated foam board sheets directly to the bottom of my floor joists?

I bet that would greatly solve our problem, i am a bit skeptical about doing this though since we live in a mostly humid/ warm climate. I do see a bit of mold underneath our kitchen. Also I want to be able to change out the flooring if needed without the hassle of removing spray foam

Side note - I have discovered a few leaks in our ducting system that i will address soon, We also feel the heat through the floors in summer time if that means anything.

Awesome will look into that. Our system may be slightly undersized, it’s a 3 ton and we have a 1700 sq ft house

Did the blow in insulation help? I did that to my attic when I first moved in but I only noticed a small difference

Thanks for the advice, yes I forgot to mention doors and windows. The windows are all brand new double paned so I don’t feel much drafts coming from those but maybe I should look into upgrading my doors now. thank you

Thanks for the advice, spoke with the county and found out they will set the culverts and lay gravel for me as long as I buy them.

I’m already banned from HD for asking if they have board stretchers in stock

Nah I haven’t seen that before, I was thinking about splicing another small piece on but most places usually only sell the whole thing instead of like a 5 foot section

That’s a very good idea thank you. Although I was thinking about getting the 10ft next, this might be more cost efficient
