Job completed for Crawl Space Encapsulation with Dehumidifier in South Williamson, KY

Our crew removed the old fiberglass from the crawl space and sprayed a mold treatment to take care of current and future growth. They installed perimeter drains along the crawl space with a sump pump in case rain or groundwater enters, laid down a liner and applied spray foam to encapsulate the area, and finished the encapsulation with a dehumidifier to keep moisture out.

How moisture gets into South Williamson-area crawl spaces

Water that pools near the foundation after storms can seep through block walls and joints into the crawl space and sit there for days. Older homes around South Williamson often have crawl spaces built over bare earth and cut into the hill behind them, which lets water move in from the uphill side. Because of the stack effect, air from the crawl space is pulled up into the living area, so a musty crawl space becomes a musty house. Once the space is encapsulated, floors above typically feel warmer, humidity is easier to hold in check, and mold and musty odors have much less to feed on.
