Job completed for Crawl Space Encapsulation in Jamestown, KY

Our crew applied a mold treatment and completed a total crawl space encapsulation system, installing a dehumidifier and spray foam insulation on the subfloor of the crawl space.

Why crawl spaces get damp around Jamestown

Winters in south-central Kentucky bring regular freeze-thaw cycles, which are hard on foundations, rim joists and any gap in a building’s shell. 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. Rim joists are among the leakiest parts of a house, and when they are uninsulated, outside air and moisture reach the floor framing directly. Insulating the walls instead of the floor keeps the crawl space and the equipment in it closer to indoor conditions.
