Please help, if you know anything

13 years ago
We have Brazilian Cherry floors and are up off the ground about 3 feet in some areas and only one foot in others.

We have only been finished building one year and our floors are already cupping.

We got in a hurry and called someone to come put the batten type insulation under the crawlspace. We have spent 850 on the actual insulation and then 400 to have it put in.

Now an insulation man who sprays the insulation in says that the batten type will make the cupping worse as it can trap and hold moisture.

We are now considering having it taken out and having him spray his in.

My question is that I am desperate for real answers. When we built the house we asked so many times, "don't we need to insulate under the house and the answer was always 'no'.

Now we are dealing with this and I need some facts.

Does anyone know anything that will help us make an informed decision that will save our floors?

Will the spray type be okay?

Please help us. Thank you very much.
