Job completed for Crawl Space Encapsulation – Proctorville, Ohio

Our crew lined the ground of the crawl space with a treated liner to guard against mold and mildew, then insulated the walls and joists to keep heat from escaping into the space below the floor.

Why crawl spaces get damp around Proctorville

Proctorville sits in southern Ohio near the Ohio River, where river-valley humidity keeps summers sticky and the water table runs high. A vented crawl space is open to the outdoors, so in summer it pulls in warm, humid air that condenses on cooler floor joists, ducts and the subfloor. Fiberglass batts hold moisture, and once they are damp they sag, lose most of their insulating value and give mold something to grow on. Sealing the ground and walls with a liner and foam takes the crawl space out of the outdoor environment, so moisture and temperature swings stop at the vapor barrier.
