Vented vs. Unvented Crawlspaces: What Homeowners in Murfreesboro, TN, Need to Know

Crawlspaces are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in your home’s overall structural support and energy efficiency. There’s a major difference between having a vented crawlspace and an unvented one, which is why it’s essential to know how each system can impact your home.

At Complete Insulation, we’re proud to provide reliable crawlspace solutions to our customers, and we’re here to help you make the best decision for your Murfreesboro, Tennessee, home. First, let’s cover the differences between these two types of crawlspaces:

Vented Crawlspaces

Traditionally, crawlspaces were vented to allow outside air to circulate beneath the home, helping to reduce moisture. However, in Murfreesboro’s humid climate, vented crawlspaces can actually introduce more moisture, leading to mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. This can cause structural damage and poor indoor air quality.

Unvented Crawlspaces

Unvented, or conditioned, crawlspaces are sealed from outside air, preventing moisture from entering the space. Complete Insulation’s TRU-Encap system is designed to create a dry, conditioned environment by encapsulating the crawlspace with a durable vapor barrier, insulating the walls, and controlling humidity. This process not only protects your home’s structure but also enhances energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

“I was building my own custom home and "interviewed" several spray foam insulators. It was clear Moody Ozier had a deeper knowledge of air sealing, R-value, and building codes than anyone else, so I went with Complete Insulation. He really took an interest in my hyper efficient build and came up with additional engineering ideas to further improve the efficiency of my home. I cannot say enough good things about Moody and Id tell anyone he's trustworthy, efficient, and knows the insulation and air sealing business to great depth. Jose, Fredy, and their crews showed up on time, in uniforms, with clean trucks and did a wonderful job on instal AND cleanup. They were incredibly professional at every step and it was clear they had years of experience. I recommend Complete Insulation to anyone with encapsulation and/or insulation needs whether you are new construction, retro fit, investor, or otherwise.”

“I had a fire in my attic and needed all of the contaminated insulation removed. I am *AMAZED* at how thorough the hard working folks at Complete were. You could almost eat off the floor of the attic. The entire crew was courteous, quick and more than fair with the price. Highly recommend.”

“The team who came from Murfreesboro, TN to our house in Chattanooga were amazing. We have a very large home. They removed all the old insulation from our three attics, sprayed with a decontaminate and then sprayed all the new insulation. All in one very long day. They were great to work with, came went they said they would, answered all our questions. Had to put the tubes all the way from the attic down to the first floor and out to the truck. They covered all the floors, stairs etc and left the place spotless. We are very pleased and would highly recommend this company.”
