Older homes on crawl spaces

Houses from before 1960 here often sit on piers or crawl spaces with little or no floor insulation and walls that were never insulated. Crawl space encapsulation, dense-pack walls and attic sealing are the main jobs.

Rentals

With many rentals near campus and downtown, landlords often insulate between tenants.

Historic homes

Some of Fort Valley's oldest homes have tall ceilings, plaster walls and old wiring. We check for knob-and-tube wiring before filling walls, and work through the attic and crawl space where we can to avoid disturbing historic finishes.

Crawl spaces under older homes

Many pre-1960 houses in Fort Valley were built on brick piers with the space under the house partly or fully open. Those homes lose heat in winter and pull humid air in summer, and the floors can feel cold in January when nights drop into the 30s. One option is to insulate the floor from below with foam or supported batts and protect the pipes. The other is to enclose the perimeter, lay a vapor barrier and encapsulate. Which makes sense depends on the foundation, the drainage and your budget. We look at the space, photograph it and lay out both choices in writing, with the price for each and what each one will and will not fix.
