Preventive Crawlspace Protection with LumberKote in Hot Springs National Park, AR

Doug E. of Hot Springs National Park reached out to us seeking additional stability for his home and a long-term solution to prevent mold and wood rot. Although the structure had not experienced significant settlement, Doug was proactive and wanted peace of mind before any issues could arise. His main concern was protecting the crawlspace, and he expressed immediate interest in applying a mold and rot prevention product to preserve the integrity of the home’s wooden supports. Upon inspection, our team found the crawlspace walls were constructed of plywood, a material particularly susceptible to moisture-related damage over time. The layout of the crawlspace offered ample working room near the north side, but clearance became much tighter toward the south end, narrowing to just 15 inches at its most restricted point. Despite these spatial challenges, we confirmed that conditions were suitable for applying LumberKote, our trusted wood protection product designed to seal and safeguard against fungal growth and decay. Doug chose to move forward right away with the LumberKote application to proactively protect his home’s crawlspace. While he is holding off on the SmartJack® stabilization system for now, he plans to monitor his home through the coming winter and reassess if structural reinforcement is needed. If you're looking to protect your home from mold, rot, and future damage—whether it's for peace of mind or preventive care—contact us today to schedule your crawlspace evaluation and get ahead of potential problems.
