Why did the customer contact us?
The owners of this new construction addition in Sandy Hook, KY wanted to invest in the best insulation possible. They had compared the cost of spray foam with traditional insulation, and although spray foam cost more, they knew it would pay off through greater energy savings and a healthier, more comfortable home.
Solutions provided:
Reed’s Home Solutions insulated the new addition with spray foam and encapsulated its crawl space to seal it from ground moisture.
How moisture gets into Sandy Hook-area crawl spaces
Rim joists are among the leakiest parts of a house, and when they are uninsulated, outside air and moisture reach the floor framing directly. Older homes around Sandy Hook often have crawl spaces built over bare earth and cut into the hill behind them, which lets water move in from the uphill side. Pipes, ducts and the underside of the floor are cooler than summer air, and that is where condensation tends to collect first. 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.
