Humidity Reading for Crawl Space in Lawrenceburg, KY
Our initial inspection was in may, and our Inspector read a 64.9% relative humidity (RH) in the space. A 64.9% reading isn't too dangerous, but you can almost guarantee to expect this number to significantly increase during the hottest & wettest days of the summer.
Condensation in Crawl Space in Lawrenceburg, KY
We started our encapsulation project right in the middle of the summer, and that's when this photo was taken. You can see water dripping off of the ducts in this picture. When hot air lands on something much cooler, it creates a process called condensation. Imagine a very cool drink that "sweats" during the summer.

Musty Fiberglass in Lawrenceburg, KY
One of the most common things we hear from homeowners is, "we can't believe there was that much moldy insulation in our crawl space!" This photo shows all the bagged up insulation we removed. Fiberglass can get very nasty when wet, and can easily travel through the air into the upper levels of the home. It's always a good idea to replace it with our SilverGlo insulation panels, which perform much better in crawl space environments.
