Crawl space reconditioning and waterproofing in Radcliff, KY

Homes in Radcliff

Post-war housing, vented crawl spaces and fifty years of moisture

Radcliff grew with Fort Knox, and most of its housing went up quickly between the 1960s and 80s along Dixie Highway and Wilson Road: brick and frame ranches, duplexes and small two-stories, the great majority on vented crawl spaces with batt insulation that has long since soaked and fallen. The ground here is karst: limestone full of sinkholes, caves and underground channels. Water moves through it fast and unpredictably, so a house can be dry for years and then get water when a channel underneath shifts or a downspout is rerouted.

A Radcliff crawl space of that era usually needs a reconditioning: clear out the ruined insulation and debris, treat the mold on the joists, fix the water, and rebuild the crawl space with a proper liner, new insulation and a dehumidifier. Houses that take on water get a crawl space drain and sump first.
