  • Why is crawl space insulation important?

    Insulating your crawl space offers several benefits:


    • Warmer floors in winter and cooler rooms in summer
    • Lower energy bills throughout the year
    • Better indoor air quality with reduced mold and allergens
    • Protection for your home’s structure from moisture damage
  • How do I know if I need crawl space insulation?

    Signs that you may need crawl space insulation include:


    • Cold floors, especially in winter
    • Musty smells or visible mold

  • What's the difference between a vapor barrier and encapsulation?

    A vapor barrier provides a single layer of moisture protection, usually placed on the crawlspace floor. Encapsulation, on the other hand, is a more thorough solution that involves sealing the entire crawlspace, including vents and walls, with a vapor barrier and incorporating a dehumidifier for active moisture management.

  • How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

    The frequency of air duct cleaning varies based on factors like pets, allergies, and home activity. Typically, it is recommended every 3-5 years. Fisher’s Home Pros can evaluate your specific situation and suggest the optimal schedule for you.

  • What are the signs my air ducts need cleaning?

    Signs that indicate your air ducts may need cleaning include:


    • Dust or debris visible coming from vents
    • Increased allergy symptoms
    • Musty smells
    • Reduced airflow
    • Visible mold growth
  • How long does foundation repair typically take?

    The time needed for foundation repair depends on the severity of the problem and the repair method used. Smaller repairs might take a few days, while larger projects could take several weeks. Fisher’s Home Pros will provide a detailed timeline during your free inspection and estimate.

  • How can I prevent future foundation problems?

    To prevent future foundation issues, you should:

    • Ensure proper drainage around your foundation
    • Maintain consistent moisture levels around your home
