Job completed for Large Crawl Space Insulation Job in Ashland, KY

Completion date: February 28, 2020

Location: Ashland, KY

Why did the customer contact us?

A below grade crawl space had high humidity, especially in the Summer, and condensation was occurring, causing dampness moisture on the floor joists. In order to prevent mold growth, the homeowner wanted the space encapsulated and air sealed with spray foam insulation.

Our crew had to be very careful and neat during this job due to the customer wanting the concrete portion of the flooring to be covered or made messy with the insulation.

Solutions provided:

Our crew at Reed's Sprayfoam Insulation first lined most of the ground of the crawl space with a 12 ml liner, treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth on/under the liner. Secondly, the foundation walls were insulated with 2 inches of closed cell foam insulation which created an airtight seal to the liner.

Lastly, the rim joists were lined with 4 inches of open cell foam, preventing any mold pores from escaping from the liner onto the rim joists.
