The expert notes space under floors must be at least 18 inches from earth, work is done on the back, lighting is essential and snakes may inhabit crawl spaces. Recommend fiber batts with a vapor barrier, four-inch batts for mild climates and six-inch batts for colder areas.
Insulation batts should sit tight between floor joists with the vapor barrier facing down and nails flattened to avoid puncture. Alternatives include bottom-joist leveling and cross bracing, with supports from chicken wire or steel rods. Also answers reader questions on removing paint from brick fireplaces via sandblasting and vinyl floor yellowing due to mineral water or excess wax buildup.
