Job completed for Crawl Space Vapor Barrier in Logan, WV

Reed’s Home Solutions installed a vapor barrier liner in the crawl space to block moisture and odors from entering the home and to prevent mildew and mold from developing under the house.

How moisture gets into Logan-area crawl spaces

Logan is in the steep, narrow hollows of southern West Virginia, where level ground is scarce and buildings are tucked against hillsides. Fiberglass batts hold moisture, and once they are damp they sag, lose most of their insulating value and give mold something to grow on. Rim joists are among the leakiest parts of a house, and when they are uninsulated, outside air and moisture reach the floor framing directly. Fixing a crawl space from the ground up usually lasts longer than chasing symptoms, because fans, deodorizers and new batts rarely hold up when the soil is the source.
