The average Kentucky home loses up to 30 % of its conditioned air through an unsealed crawlspace. In Louisville’s humid climate, that leakage invites mold, pests, and costly energy bills. CountBricks specializes in transforming neglected crawl areas into clean, dry, and fully insulated parts of your building envelope—without guesswork. Our AI-driven estimating engine captures real-time material pricing, labor rates, and task durations so homeowners and contractors know exactly what a project will cost before the first bag of insulation arrives.
• High humidity that feeds rot and mildew
• Seasonal drafts entering through uninsulated rim joists
• Sagging fiberglass batts dropping onto the soil
• Rodent damage to vapor barriers and wiring
• Rising utility costs caused by air leakage
1. Say it once. Using your phone or headset, describe the Louisville Crawlspace during a live conversation with CountBricks Assist.

3. Real-time databases feed in the latest Louisville material pricing and crew availability.
4. Within seconds you receive a shareable estimate, optional financing schedule, and a branded PDF ready to send or sign.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
• Delivers an air-tight seal at rim joists
• Adds structural rigidity to sub-flooring
• Moisture impermeable—ideal for Louisville’s wet springs
Rigid Foam Board with Taped Seams
• Cost-effective for large wall runs
• Excellent when paired with a 20-mil vapor liner
• Boards serve as a clean surface for future servicing
Conditioned Crawlspace Encapsulation
• 100 % coverage floor-to-wall vapor barrier
• Sealed supply/return ducts to stabilize temperature
• Integral dehumidifier sized by CountBricks load software
1. Site Scan & AI Takeoff: We photograph and laser-measure the perimeter. CountBricks.com/takeoffs converts data into exact material counts.
2. Debris Removal: Old insulation, organic growth, and debris are bagged out for proper disposal.
3. Vapor Liner & Air Seal: A 20-mil liner is pin-fastened and taped; rim joists sealed with spray foam.
4. Thermal Layer: Foam board or spray foam is applied to meet or exceed IECC R-10 requirements for Louisville.
5. Quality Validation: Our inspectors use thermal cameras and hygrometers. Results sync automatically to your customer portal at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
