Crawl Space Vapor Barrier for Milledgeville homeowners
Antebellum and Victorian homes in Milledgeville sit over crawl spaces that have never had anything on the floor. Two centuries of bare Baldwin County clay releasing moisture upward into original heart pine framing.
The site adds to it. Red clay on rolling ground above the Oconee sends runoff toward the low side of a lot, and the ground closer to the river holds moisture year round. Under a historic house that means soil that is damp most of the time and never fully dries.
A barrier is the gentlest thing we can do for a house like this. No fastening into original material, nothing visible, no change to the way the building looks or breathes above the floor. Heavy reinforced sheeting goes across the ground, sealed carefully to each brick pier, and the framing above finally gets a dry space to live in.
Milledgeville homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
