Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Scottsville, KY
This Kentucky crawl space had an excessive moisture problem. The moisture caused their wood supporting beams to rot and grow mold spores. This is not only good for this home's foundation, but it is also very bad for the family's health. Did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from downstairs? Make sure that air is clean and healthy. The homeowners were getting very worried about their wood floors becoming bouncy/uneven and they often smelled a mildewy smell upstairs on warmer days. They were ready to get their problem fixed, so they googled crawl space experts and found us! They scheduled a free inspection with one of our highly trained inspectors.
