Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of Arkansas summer — and crawl space nightmare season.
Without proper vapor barriers, your crawl space becomes a moisture magnet. Ground moisture evaporates upward while humid outdoor air flows in through vents. The result? Mold, rot, and sky-high cooling bills as your HVAC fights excess humidity.
IRC code R408.2 requires vapor barriers in all crawl spaces. But most older homes in Jonesboro and Trumann have bare dirt floors or inadequate 4-mil plastic that's torn and useless.
We install 6-mil reinforced polyethylene sealed at all seams and edges. Add that to closed-cell spray foam on rim joists and foundation walls, and you've got a dry, conditioned space that actually helps your home's performance.
Real numbers from a recent Paragould job: Customer's May electric bill dropped $47 after we encapsulated their 1,200 SF crawl space. Wood moisture content fell from 19% to 12% in just three weeks.
Don't wait until July when it's 95°F and 80% humidity. Get your crawl space sealed before Arkansas summer heat arrives.
