"Awesome company. Honest, fair and reliable. We were in a very difficult situation because we were out of town when this problem needed to be resolved and we had to rely on TJ with everything including coordinating with another contractor to get the work done within a very short time period. TJ made sure that everything worked out perfectly and updated me on every step of the process. This was a real relief and I had the feeling I could trust them from the first day on. I cannot thank him and everybody else there enough."
"Kory was very responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. His was the lowest by far of the three estimates I received for insulating the top floor in our 1 1/2 story house. He offered a veteran's discount because of my husband's service in the navy. He also completed the testing and paperwork needed for us to get a significant rebate from our natural gas provider. We were able to schedule the work within a week of his coming out for an an estimate. The only criticism I have is that the blow-in insulation is pretty messy and, in spite of Kory's earnest efforts to clean up, I did end up needing to vacuum again, dust, and brush bits of insulation off the clothes in our closet. Perhaps covering things with a drop cloth would help. I also hired Kory to do a mold remediation project in a small unfinished workroom in our basement."

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.
A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.
Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.
Proper drainage is the only way to ensure that your crawl space stays dry. Depending on your property and the extent of your issue, you might need to consider a gutter system, a French drain, or sump pumps to avoid and handle water and moisture under your home. Dehumidifiers can also help to prevent moisture from accumulating if you have a high-humidity environment.
The best ventilation for a crawl space is a fully encapsulated crawl space with its own separate ventilation system. If you go this route, ensure you have the proper crawl space code requirements done and dusted before encapsulating your crawl space with a moisture barrier and installing appliances that may not be up to the proper specs.
