Job completed for Crawl Space Encapsulation in Ashland, KY

We encapsulated the entire crawl space with our vapor barrier liners, creating a protective barrier between the home and the dirt crawl space below. That keeps ground moisture out of the space and the smells out of the living area.

How moisture gets into Ashland-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. Ashland sits in the steep, wooded country of eastern Kentucky, where homes and buildings are often cut into hillsides and groundwater runs toward the lowest point on the lot. Moisture in a crawl space also invites pests, because damp wood and soil attract termites, insects and rodents. 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.
