How moisture gets into Catlettsburg-area crawl spaces
Fog and humid mornings are common in the valleys, which keeps outdoor air close to its dew point for much of the summer. Vent openings meant to let a crawl space “breathe” often do the opposite in humid climates, letting in more moisture than they let out. Bare soil releases water vapor all the time, even when it looks dry, and that vapor rises into the crawl space and the wood above it. A drier crawl space is also easier on the home’s structure, since framing and subfloor stay in a safer moisture range.
