Many older homes in Central Kentucky have crawl spaces where wooden framing and sill plates on the southwest side can deteriorate faster due to prolonged sun exposure, wind-driven rain, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. These factors accelerate moisture damage and wood rot if not addressed promptly. Basements can also experience moisture issues near southwest-facing doors, so it's important for homeowners to keep these areas well-sealed and maintained. Regular inspections, recaulkings, proper grading, and flashing repairs help protect these vulnerable spots and maintain the home's structural health.
