The Challenge
A homeowner in Madisonville, Kentucky contacted Healthy Spaces after experiencing ongoing moisture issues in her crawl space. Excess humidity, inadequate drainage, fungal growth, and poor insulation were creating conditions that could negatively impact the home's structural integrity, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency.
