Best Way To Fix Your Wet Crawl Space!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- The rainy season is upon us! We are getting bombarded right now with wet crawl space calls, and ''I got standing water in my crawl space'' calls, and in our most recent project video, I am going to take you all through the steps, on the best way to fix your wet crawl space!
This homeowner had already hired another business to fix his wet crawl space problems. Along with some foundation repair work, he had also hired the contractor to perform a french drain install inside his crawl space, as well a sump pump drainage basin, sump pump, and outside discharge line installation.
I was contacted by the homeowner on the third day of work, just after he had fired the original company he hired. Everything he was told and sold, as you too are about to see, was far from what was actually taking place!
Once we performed the full crawl space clean out, we then had to remove all of the falling, drenched crawlspace insulation. After all of that itchy mess was gone, we then had to remove all of the bs work, that the wannabe foundation repair company had done.
Once we were at a clean slate, aka starting point, we installed our full inside crawl space perimeter french drain system, our drainage fabric, almost 16,000 pounds of drainage gravel, two basins, two sump pumps, two discharge lines, and a brand new 6 mil crawl space ground vapor barrier. I also installed two moisture sensors to tell my buddy Jeff his humidity levels inside his crawl space. That way, he can see what they are now, as opposed to what they would be with our full crawl space encapsulation service, and our crawl space dehumidifier system.
Now that the water in crawl space is no longer a concern, we can begin directing our focus onto the floor repair work that needs performed, in order to strengthen, and support all of the existing floor joists within the crawl space!
So until the next one, this is tanner flowers, and I'm signing off!

You got way too much energy for someone who crawls and shimmy’s all day for a living! Glad to see a passionate tradesperson thank you for raising the bar for everyone else!
Wooooooo! Thanks for noticing! 👍👍
This homeowner is lucky that you guys did such a great job. Saved his house for sure.
No doubt! Thank you for commenting too! I appreciate your time.
I’m a new home inspector and I learned more about crawlspaces from this video then I did from the guys I shadowed. 👍
Thank you Walter! 👍👍
This video seems like a used car commercial.
Thank you Dave! $599 and you drive baby! Wooooo!
Close your eyes and listen during some parts and you'll hear The Nature Boy. "Woo!" Great work.
Woooooooo! I appreciate these type comments!
As great as this is to listen to, listening at 2x speed is even better.
Haha! I haven't tried that!
Thanks to you and your videos I was able to repair and fix my dad's crawl space on a home he purchased. I removed 22 fifty five drum liner bags of just trash and debris from under the home. This home was moved form one location and put on a lake lot community back in 1957. The footers under this home on the front was not level but tiered down eight inch's per tier so I was 24 inch's deep at the front of the home. I had my electrican light the entire space before I started the hard stuff. I dug out a interior drain with a chipping hammer and a army shovel because of how low the home was on the the back and back right side and the rock i had to bust out was crazy. Shorty story long is that I had two install two pumps and cans and it took me around a two months to complete the job. I closed off all the foundation vents except one where I installed a vent with a fan and built in thermastat and commercial dehumidifer. I encapsulated the entire crawl space and it has made 100% change in the home. I did my on mold treatment and replaced all the insulation. this was one big ass job for one man for sure but it makes me smile everytime I open that crawlspace door!!!
Thanks for your experience and know how!!!
Props to you for being willing to tackle such a project!
This is the best crawlspace video I've ever seen. Cheers!
Haha! I appreciate that! I had some pretty good one liners come to me while filming this one for sure!
I am so glad I found this video, I will be calling you guys ASAP!

Thank you for noticing! 👍👍
After 3 years of worring about my crap crawl space in a row of townhouses youve given me hope . its always damp in there and when we had the final inspection the crawlnspace had 3 feet of water in it . finally looking at a drain to help move the water or at least I'll dig down and see how bad the water is .
Oh no. Hope you get it all taken care of.
I appreciate this guy. If only I had a wet crawl space...
Haha! I appreciate you appreciating me!
I'm going to stab in the dark and bet you are one hell of a lot of fun to drink with! LOL! Great video
I don't drink. But I do appreciate you watching. 👍👍
Bud your tips are gold I wish you could do my basement in Ontario, while digging my trenches and sump pit in my crawl space I hitted a bedrock and that was just 1ft deep below the dirt. The house was build on a big ass rock... Keep on the good work.
Oh no! I hate bedrock!
Passion, expertise, communication clear and concise. Where’s my wallet!
This guy gets it. ^^^
I wish you would set up an operation in the coastal pacific northwest. Houses around here have lots of water under them, including standing water. People around here just accept it as part of living in or near rain forests. We are talking 60 to 120 inches of rain per year, and seldom warm, almost never hot, where things can dry out. You could probably make millions.
You want to run it?
Could it be better to ensure drainage outside the house is improved first so not much water gets into crawl space in the first place? We added gutters, downspouts and drainage lines to get much of the rain water as far away from the NC house foundation as possible. Also sealing crawl space vents and adding dehumidifier and plastic vapor barrier was already installed. If that is insufficient, then can take it to next level of complexity, effort and cost.
I appreciate you commenting.
What you gonna do when crawlspaceartists comes and seals up that crawlspace for you!?!? WOOOOOOO!!! (Walks away doing the Rick Flare strut)
Wooooooo! Haha! I am uploading a new project video as I type this! Check it out Brian! 👍👍

@@TannerFlowers impeccable!
I have a crawl space that is 18”, house was built 1880, floor is moist and rotten. Looking here for ideas.
Appreciate your time.
Love your work...though I struggle with the evangelism... is a little hard on the nervous system....but thank you anyway for these very very valuable videos.
Hell yeah! Haha!
I need you in Houston! I know zero about this and this is my first pier and beam home ever. My wood floors are warping and lo and behold, not a stitch of vapor barrier underneath. I don't know who to trust here!

@@5RandomThoughts thank you!
Thanks! Good info and great video!!
Woooooo! Appreciate you commenting. Thank you for your time.
Don't I know. The big house in which I grew up in Lancaster, SC, was situated on the lower end of the sloped front yard, and the storm water was like Niagara Falls rushing downhill and colliding with our foundation. This cause our lovely finished basement to become a source of persistent water damage. For some reason, the local guys had no concept of stormwater abatement, and somebody charged my mother a fortune to trench as shallow French drain that wasn't lined with any materials to funnel the water away from the house. It's a shame. The new owners have made incredible upgrades to this 65-year old mansion. And when I visited there recently, I explained that if they were to have a two-foot deep, grated trench dug across the yard and about a third distance from the road, they would be able to divert tons of water from colliding with their brick foundation and flooding their basement. It also would revive what used to be a creek than ran parallel to our house, but dried up due to poor stormwater management practices by the good old boys who imagination and insight was limited to antiquated methods that solved nothing. Even here, in Eutaw Springs, in eastern Orangeburg County, SC, I dug a trench along a portion of my front yard which prevented erosion of the topsoil and since, I have a lush lawn with a minor grassy trench that's perfectly safe for crossing with a riding mower.
You understand things. 👍👍
Great job 👍🏼
Thank you.
bruh your enthusiasm is 100%! great video.
Haha! Thank you Brian. They tried to give me an Oscar for this performance, but I declined to attend the awards ceremony. (Just kidding)
Tanner your the man brother. I swear I wish I somebody like you around my way. Man you have motivated the hell out of me this morning to where I’m fixing to crawl under my house and do a bump and start digging! Jj about the bump other than bump my head under there😂. Buddy I hope the world give you the recognition that you truly deserve. To anyone who misses a chance to ever hear you or watch your passion , we’ll they missed out. If you can’t sale yourself, you can’t sale nothing, not for long anyways. Holler atcha later, you ever around 910 NC look me up.
Comment of the day right there! Congratulations! And thank you very much.
Sounds like a preacher lol love it
I have heard this at least 666 times. Lol! Thanks for commenting. 👍
I wish my crawl space had that much space from ground to joists as there is just 15-20 inches of clearance in mine and under bathroom only about 10 inches of clearance so no way this could be done with out removing flooring in entire house as idiots who built it back in 1946 had NO clue what they were doing when building it including other areas of home as well.
@@charlessanders1342 bummer. Thanks for commenting.
You have to be the offspring of every 80's wrestler. Man you got me winded just listening to ya. Good job grate video and awesome enthusiasm.

Amazing work you do for people. Thanks. Wish you were in Michigan
I appreciate you. Thanks
👏👏👏 one of the best detailed vids ive seen
I got a ton of them on here. I appreciate that
They don’t do home inspections before the sale of the house😂
Evidently not always! Lol
1) Great job. I love the video and the crawl space looks great. 2) For a minute there, I thought you were talking to Mean Gene about your upcoming match for the championship belt. "I TELL YOU WHAT, BROTHER! I'M READY FOR THE BRAWL IN THE CRAWL!!" 😂
Oh man! That's golden! I just read Brawl For The Crawl and busted out laughing! You must be a professional!
@@TannerFlowers nah, I'm just a smart @$$
I was actually in my crawlspace trying to figure out what I needed to do to dry it out. We got 9" of rain yesterday in my area and water came through the crawlspace into our foyer. We pumped it out and I was getting fans setup.
Sounds like a ton of fun! :)
With his energy he reminds me of the "Sham Wow Towel " guy who used to run the infomercials years back.
Godamighty he was a blessing.
@@TannerFlowers great information by the way!
Thank you. I was cracking myself up so hard filming this shit. Can you only imagine what the neighbors thought? Hahaha! I was out there screaming my ass off filming these clips. God that's funny looking back on it right this very second. Thanks for commenting. I am smiling now. I appreciate you. 👍
What happens to the moister that is trapped under the plastic? It'll never dry out, right? That all doesn’t seep into the drain system and get pumped out, does it? I would imagine that trapped moister would eventually mold out under the plastic/vapor barrier. And, cockroaches and termites will be attracted to the constant source of moisture and thrive under it, right? Just wondering about that and how to dry it out under the vapor barrier.
Always stays trapped inside the earth, not allowed to become accessible to the area that matters.
@Tanner Flowers thanks. I'm assuming it's a bad idea to staple the vapor barrier up on the floor joists in that it may trap and/or create condensation between the floor and the vapor barrier? That was of course, setting aside the difficulty of actually doing that.
Yes. Never attach the poly to any wood.
You should do energy drink commercials too....lol. Good energy!
Haha! Woooooo! Thank you Jon!
@@TannerFlowers I wish you all could expand north into central Kentucky!
Me too!
3:55 this my kind of guy, LETS GO 😂❤
Thanks for commenting. 👍👍
FINALLY! Someone that knows to correct way to build a drainline. I'd like to add that the "Filter Fabric" should be a non-woven filter fabric. pipe must be below the footer on a 2% slope minimum.
👍👍
You should never go below the footer pipe should only around 10” deep. If you go below the footer you can open the door to mud washing out under the footing causing foundation issues.
Good info in this video I learned a lot; I bought my first home 5 years ago and the crawl space was wet but didn't know all of this stuff then. I already have to have sub flooring replaced wish I would have knew this then. Too bad you guy don't serve Alabama, good video.
We actually take on a handful of travel projects annually. Thank you for everything you said too. I appreciate it. 👍
I cannot tell if you are a Christian Preacher or a WWE announcer! 😂😂😂
Wooooooo! Haha!
Due to flooding I had 4 foot of water in my 4 foot crawl space under a 1,000 square foot home. Most has been pumped out... Plastic that had been laid down on gravel has floated around & I'm sure there isn't any French drains in crawl space. Wish I knew who to call here in Billings, Montana to call to do this for my crawlspace!
I can offer you a consultation, but only if you could provide me with all photos, and exact measurements. If you can do that, I can plan out what exactly needs to be done there. That service is available at CRAWLSPACEARTISTS.COM
@@TannerFlowers I'll have to find a local company to do the work but having your estimate I'll know which company here is legitimate by their estimates & details, correct? (Since you're not traveling to MT to do my basement 😊)
Haha preach it brother! I love the enthusiasm!
Hallelujah sister! Wooooooo!
I’ve been quoted any where from $39k to over 50k for a 1100 square ft low crawl space that includes taking up half the sub flooring and floor joist in the house and digging in several footers for some extra pillars, complete interior French drain, complete encapsulation too . I have a lot of work to be done. This really sucks . I’m making sure that they pull all the permits too with this amount of work being done
That would be in your best interest. And DO NOT trust that they are doing things correctly. You better watch EVERY single day's progress, or lack there of. Do not take what I am telling you here lightly. I tell no tales. You could waste 50k in a few weeks time if you're not mindful of what needs to be done, and aware of how it should be done, in order to be done in a proper manner.
If you are watching multiple videos of mine, you are doing your homework. And that is more than a lot of people do. Keep studying. The more you learn, the harder it will be for someone to rook you.
@@TannerFlowers thanks . You seem to be very knowledgeable. I have to assume that when you refer to other companies you’re talking about the gentleman from Knoxville, I’ve watched a lot of his stuff too but hearing a different perspective is always good
Thank
I never watched anyone else's videos, other than Chuck with Apple Drains. I believe is his name. In the beginning of the drainage project days, I would reference some of his videos for drainage tips.
Encapsulation wise, I never watched anyone else's videos. People would always mention this guy, and that guy, and I would laugh, cause I never gave a shit about nobody but Tanner Flowers. Still don't. And I like being the best at whatever I do. I like winning. And whenever I personally was any part of a project with my name on it, you can just look at the years, and years worth of full project videos, and know I am telling you the truth. The ONLY person comparable to me, is and always has been me.
I turn down big money for these projects. I get requests daily. 60k couldn't get me going last week. Guy from Oregon was wanting and willing to pay big. But I am not interested. These jobs are rough on you. Especially after being under them since 2005. I am over it! I was over it long before I stopped. But I always had to do what I had to do. And if I am doing something, to this very second, you can rest assured, Tanner's giving it his all. It's all I have ever known how to do. And it's all I ever will do.
If you need any project consulting, to ensure the proper steps are taken on your project, that's about all I can offer to out of area customers.
It may not be much, but then again, I have saved a lot of people money over the years.
@@TannerFlowers thanks I really appreciate that, when I do get started I will forward you some pictures of the work being done so that you could give me your opinion if you don’t mind?
Wish yall was in IL. Great video
Thank you for saying that Christopher!
Did you hire anyone in IL, I am looking too....
@@msbgone no sorry. I ended up revamping gutters, downspouts (underground exit) 10 feet from the house, and a french drain perimeter to keep away and out.
Great work! Also, You sound like the (Judy Chop guy) . Not making fun just notice the similaritie.
🤣🤣🤣
My wife has ALS and our modular home is a mess!! It’s smells like something is rotting under the house. I wish you all was close to Ohio. And ideas what we can do? It’s making us sick!
Just follow what all you can see me doing at CRAWLSPACEARTISTS.COM
It is scary to try to find a good contractor. You really need to do your research on what should be done before hiring someone and not just trust what they say you need. It is unconscionable what these crooked contractors do to people's homes. Drainage is always the first step. Get the drainage right on your property before you do any work. My place is a mess and needs some serious drainage. Wish me luck...
I wish you luck.
I live in North Eastern NC moisture in this region is a nightmare under houses. Most people have no idea until they have major problems.
That is 100% correct.
Best shovel for digging under crawlspace?
I always ordered the short ones off Amazon. I need to update my Amazon Store with the ones I used. I will have to get back with you on the links.

This was really, really insightful - wish I could have you out to my place in coastal California to true it up!
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you.
@@TannerFlowers of course! Your passion shines through and your clients are lucky to have you!
@Novilifts I am into different business spaces now. I have not done any of this in years. But, how a person does anything, is how a person does everything. I thank you for your time. 👍👍
and off the top rope.... Jesus: Just an ANGRY dude.
🤣
Trying to figure this: does the trench back up against the footing or a certain distance from the wall. As I study these videos I see it looking different. Lets say the footing is about 6 inches from the block. Is that the point you start digging at or do you move out side ways a few inches. Seems it must be at the edge of footing but the footings are different in each area. As I said before I must have someone do this and I want no questions in my mind when I tell them what I want.🦇
Most are overpoured. I just follow whatever the project gives me to work with. Some have to be morw out (off the wall) than others. Just depends on the concrete.
@@TannerFlowers The concrete you speak of is the edge of the footing? I just do not want to find out I did it to close and damaged the foundation. Also I guess you are saying the concrete flowed past where it should have stopped and you must go out and around it. That, I guess, is why some look out a bit. Man, I pity the guy I hire. I am going to be on this as much as he is!🦇
@dustbat What you are saying is correct. Most times I find the trench cannot be an exact straight line, as like you said, there is typically overpour in places. So I just get it right up against it, and do my best to keep it clean, and straight as possible, given each situation I am faced to work with. I do not undermine foundations, as I have been asked about in some of the comments. I just follow the footing, and dig as straight down as possible, forming vertical walls of my trench. Then as flat a bottom as I can dig, making sure that bottom is pitching toward my intended basin position.
@@TannerFlowers You are very kind to answer all my questions. Thank you so much.🦇
@dustbat you're welcome.
The comments 😂
Love this guy.
🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Thanks for sharing!!!
You're welcome.
Hi bud, if the crawl space is sloped, is the sump pump basin still necessary? Can’t get asay with just letting it flow with gravity from the french drain? Thanks
I can't afford to have risks like that. I take too much money from people. I close all known doors that could become a problem for my customers.
You might could get away with it. I am not sure.
But if it is your own project, you are free to trial and error as much as you wish.
Hi Tanner,
I didn’t see any tape on plastic seems or between the plastic and the walls. Is it not necessary?
Review our encapsulation projects. This is not one.
Dang bro. Do you come up near knoxville? I just bought a house that needs a full crawlspace renovation
My crew can take care of you yes. Text me at 423-503-0512 to get on schedule.
GREAT WORK 💯. HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE FOR A JOB LIKE THIS???
20k-30k+ with encapsulation
You can jack it up to level and then cut the wood to length. Gotta have a footer though. I use adjustable steel and wood. Depends

Judy!!!!
pipe busted and crawl space flooded. I pumped water our,but there is water under the vapor barrier. Will is go away into the ground ???or do i need it taken up and new barrier. Also I put big fan with airflow outward and later i was going to put kerosine stove on low heat for 10 hours. Is this good plan
If ground drains properly, hopefully it will go away.
@@TannerFlowers thanks I appreciate it
You're welcome.
What about a house built on a water table
Gain control by following my methods you see repeated in all my videos.
i live on the lower part of an incline, we have water gathering at the inside lower foundation, must be coming in under the house from the garden, should we run ag pipe under the house or throught the garden before it gets to the house?
If you can get the outside one deep enough, you may solve your problem. But note....nearly every single inside perimeter french drain job that we have ever done, already had outside french drain(s) in place.
Tanner Flowers I can testify to that. Same thing happens here. Homeowners wastes a wad of money trying to solve it from the surface, when the H2O is coming U-P from the earth.
I have water migrating into my crawlspace, Would a French drain be on the outside of my house work or a French drain under my house be better?
Like this. Most all, including this one, have outside drains in place from construction. They all need this if water is problematic inside the crawl space itself.
great job
Thank you very much.
Love your style man.
Haha! Thank you! A lot of these viewers are in for a real treat. They click this video, expecting to see some sort of normal guy, and BAM!!! Who the heck is this freaking Tanner Flowers dude? Lolol!

Did it cause you to break out in an unknown tongue brother?
Can I staple the vapor barrier up on the beam, floor joist in the crawl space instead of laying it on the ground?
I wouldn't. You don't want to trap any moisture against wood. There is always moisture underneath the poly.
This guy only talks. Avoid this BS unless you want your house ruined. Water have to be diverted on the outside of the foundation wall, not whatever on the inside.
Yeah. Listen to this guy. ^^^ I am a real crook. 👍👍
The glue, is no good in the floor choices. So maybe you should check into what you're talking about
Thanks for commenting.
What is the chemical product name to treat the wood holding up the floors. Are you saying “sporesiding”? Where can it be purchased?
Sporicidin can be purchased on Amazon. 4 one gallon jugs come in a case.
Can you go to Arrington Va and inspect a house I wanna buy? I want you to install the mitigations for that crawl space too!!! You do really great work!
I have personally trained crews that handle travel projects. I can do a consultation with you, but it will require multiple live videos, photos, and exact measurements from you. CRAWLSPACEARTISTS.COM
Great video 👍
Appreciate that. 👍
Love your video! Thanks for the confidence and energy. Do you preach also in church? If not you should be. You are very convincing.
I have a crawl space it’s it terrible condition poo and pee every where.
I don’t know where to start and who to call I’m in East Texas what’s the range of the prices that people should quote me? My house is 4000 sq feet. Do you know anyone here near waskom to or Shreeveport Louisiana who can help me since you are so far away.
I just moved into this house and didn’t know these issues before. I feel someone has kept information from me and did not informed me about the issues at hand. Now I have a back up and a real problem on my hands. I’m so sad. 😔😭😔
I need help.
That would be over 30k I am sure. Could be 40k+. I would not be able to say without putting it on the rate card.
I do not know anyone there personally.
I was banned from all religion. ;)
I love you and your energy! And your work!
I did one corner of my house already per your instructions. I'm about to do the rest of the perimeter.
What brand perforated filter sock pipe do you recommend? I already put in one with some kind of sock that had little Styrofoam pebbles on the outside.
Also, what mil and what brand plastic sheet do you recommend?
And type.of.tape to seal sheet to sheet. And for sheet to cinder block?
I wanna go real thick on the mil.
Thanks Tanner!
I just use what Lowes has on the 4" drainage pipe with filter sock.
Then 20 mil poly.
Thank you too Johnny B.
Great content brother, just curious if you know of any companies in the Kentucky area that could help with our crawl space.
Not there, but my local crew does do travel projects.
@@TannerFlowers awesome, if I send you videos and pictures of the crawl space, do you think you'll be able to give me a quote or an estimate of what the cost may be?
@AhchOnan8994 I will not. But my crew can. I do not do any of this anymore. I have not done any of this work in years. I changed characters. Haha
Just wonder or looking for a easy way out, but would installing the drain system around the outside of the foundation accomplish the same thing. My crawl space is alot lower than it should be. I'M going to remove everything and add vapor barrier but I don't think it would be possible to dig a trench under my house. Any advice and nice looking job.
Nearly every interior french drain job, already has an exterior drain line in place. It's all about depth and levels. I go over it more in depth in another video. I will get you the link....

Ballpark estimate on lighting? I purchased a house with a barrier but there’s no lights and it’s scary for me going under there. Thanks.
Not sure. My father in law cuts me a break. Not sure what a normal person would charge someone. I know it's not cheap.
I love it
Wooooooo!
Nice work im hoping to buy place but just went into crawl space on second look 2 weeks later and it has 8 inches of water now and wondeeing how much it will be or should i just take lose on 1k lol i cant offord to much cost
These crawl space jobs are very expensive.
My floors are cold as hell... even during the summer. Could this be a crawlspace issue?
Yes sir.
Can you have small puddles of standing water from moisture alone or is that always an indicator of water seeping in?
It can be from a numerous amount of things.

I haven't trained anyone there yet. Sorry.
Wow!
You said it man! :)
Great video Tanner! I’ve seen the jacks you’re talking about. I’ve also seen pre-made concrete feet and you set them on the ground and put the jack on the pre-made footing. But you said you pour concrete and put the jacks on them. Is it bad to use those pre-made concrete footings?
It's just preference really. We just prefer creating the real footers.
