Why did the customer contact us?
The owners of a newly built home in Paintsville, KY called Reed’s to enclose and encapsulate the new crawl space.
Solutions provided:
Our crew encapsulated the new crawl space with a liner that separates it from the earth. That helps prevent moisture, mold, mildew and the musty smells that follow them into a house.
Why crawl spaces get damp around Paintsville
Eastern Kentucky typically gets well over 40 inches of precipitation a year, and a heavy downpour can leave hillside soil saturated around a foundation for days. Many wet crawl spaces start outside, where poor grading, short downspouts or hillside runoff push water toward the foundation until it finds a way in. Vent openings meant to let a crawl space “breathe” often do the opposite in humid climates, letting in more moisture than they let out. A sealed access door and sealed vents keep outside air from re-entering the space, so the liner and foam can do their work.
