Farwell is a village of about 880 people in Surrey Township, with older homes in the village and lake and country homes around it. Many sit over crawlspaces or have additions and sunrooms on open foundations, where cold, damp air gets under the floors. Energy Plus Home Improvements has served Mid-Michigan since 1971 from Riverdale, about 30 miles south, and our crews have crawlspace and insulation projects in and around the village. Every installation is backed by the EP Protection Plan™.

Quality You Can Trust
An open crawlspace with a dirt floor pulls damp, cold air into the house, which means cold floors, musty smells and higher heating bills. Encapsulation covers the ground and walls with a sealed liner, and closed-cell spray foam on the walls adds insulation and seals air leaks. We use White Cap liners from Nash Distribution’s crawl space line, in 12-mil or heavier 20-mil, depending on how the space is used.
Sunrooms and additions often sit on their own short foundations with little or no insulation underneath. Sealing and lining that space, as on the Hilda Drive sunroom, keeps the floor warmer and the room usable longer into the winter.
We also install EP CrawlGuard™ crawlspace encapsulation, EP FoamCore™ spray foam and EP RetroCore™ wall insulation. Final pricing is confirmed after we inspect the home.
Inside the village, start with the Village of Farwell; homes in Surrey and other Clare County townships follow the township or county process. We confirm the requirement for your address and pull the permit when one is needed.
Local Expertise
Farwell was founded in 1870 and named for Samuel Farwell, a New Yorker with railroad interests. It was Clare County’s first county seat, from 1871 until 1879, when the seat moved to Harrison two years after Farwell’s courthouse burned. The village incorporated in 1879. The South Branch of the Tobacco River runs through town and forms the Mill Pond, and M-115 runs down Main Street.
Homes range from older houses in the village to lake and country homes in Surrey Township. Each estimate states what we found, what we recommend, and anything we cannot confirm until we are in the crawlspace or attic.

On another Hilda Drive home, our crew installed 631 square feet of heavier 20-mil liner under a sunroom. Every job ends with a final inspection and full cleanup.

Answers to the questions we hear most often about insulation projects.
It is sealing the crawlspace with a heavy liner on the floor and walls, sealing vents and openings, and usually adding spray foam to the walls. It keeps damp ground air out of the house.
Twenty-mil liner is thicker and more puncture-resistant, better for crawlspaces used for storage or with rough ground. Twelve-mil works well for most standard crawlspaces.
Yes. We line and seal the space under the sunroom and insulate as needed, which keeps the floor warmer in winter.
An uninsulated hatch is a large hole in the attic insulation. An insulated, weatherstripped hatch cover stops warm air from escaping there.
It depends on the scope and where the home is. Check with the Village of Farwell or your township; we confirm the requirement and pull the permit when one is needed.
