Insulation, Crawl Space & Mold Services in Kent, WA

Kent is one of the largest cities in King County with housing spanning seven decades. The valley floor between West Hill and East Hill has ramblers and split-levels from the 1950s and 1960s, many still running on original fiberglass batt insulation. East Hill neighborhoods like Scenic Hill, Meridian, and the Kent-Kangley corridor filled in during the 1980s and 1990s with two-story homes that used blown-in insulation meeting the codes of that era. Newer construction east toward Covington from the 2000s is better insulated but still commonly uses builder-grade materials that settle within 15 to 20 years.

The Green River Valley's high water table creates persistent moisture challenges for valley-floor homes. Crawl spaces regularly develop standing water, condensation, and compromised vapor barriers. On East Hill, the most common problems are settled attic insulation, poor attic ventilation, and rodent intrusion through gaps around plumbing and utility penetrations. Across all neighborhoods, we frequently find insulation that has compressed below the R-49 code requirement, leading to higher heating bills and cold spots through the winter.

Kent is anchored by the Kent Station shopping district downtown and stretches from the industrial corridor near the Green River Trail up through the residential neighborhoods of East Hill. Families in the Kent School District, parks along the Green River, and proximity to commuter routes on I-5 and SR-167 make it one of the most lived-in cities in South King County. Long-time homeowners on the valley floor and newer families on East Hill both invest in their homes, and insulation upgrades are one of the most impactful improvements for comfort and energy savings.

Green Attic is headquartered at 21814 84th Ave S in Kent because this is where our work is concentrated. We are in Kent homes every week, and our crew knows the area, the housing styles, and the problems that come with each. Being based locally means shorter drive times, faster scheduling, and familiarity with the specific insulation and crawl space challenges Kent homeowners face. It also means we stand behind our work in the community where we operate.
