Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Mc Kee, Kentucky

A crawl space that floods often with groundwater is a crawl space that is doomed to fail. This crawl space in Mc Kee, KY, was only 11 years old, but it was already showing signs of wear and tear from moisture damage. To boost the homes value, preserve the wooden framing, and stop musty air from entering the rest of the home, we waterproofed and encapsulated the crawl space with a waterproofing system, a 20 mil vapor barrier, and a dehumidification system. Check out the photos below to see the transformation.
