    So what these guys do it lay down a plastic vapor barrier (Moisture Barrier)
    And tape every single seam, beam, and everything in between. See how I rhymed those 😉
    This way the ground is completely sealed off.
    You can even add a dehumidifier that pulled excess moisture out of the air.
    Then pair that with a sump pump that pumps any standing water produced by the dehumidifier or accumulated moisture out of the space.
    So encapsulating the crawlspace it’ll do a few things:
    • Seal the house from the moisture coming from the ground
    • Prevent mold
    • Improve the indoor air quality
    • Increase energy efficiency
    I don’t think you’ll recoup the cost through energy efficiency but cleaner indoor air and less moisture make it a deal in my eyes.
    Cost ranges from $5-$10 a sq ft. The cost is all over the place so get a few quotes before signing off.

      No, this is a 5 day encapsulated crawlspace. First day we gut the entire thing of insulation, trash ect and start trenching. Day 2 all trenching has to be done and sump pit set for inspection next morning. After inspection, you have backfill and start laying down your floor membrane and insulation on walls. Last 2 days you finish membrane and dehumidifier. Final inspection can happen any time after that. The waterproof taping is key to Making it look well. If your layers arnt properly overlapped and are taped down badly, it shows quite easily. The membrane is also very easy to clean, you can bring a portable shop vac, use small amount of degreaser on microfiber cloth ect.

Ive been to some of his sites and been down in the basements and crawl spaces at night and even then its hot as hell. Im just bot built for that. I’m a therapist for children and spend my days in a clinic playing games and going down slides lol. Huge respect for the men that can do all this hard manual labor stuff that im just not built for.
      At first my father-in-law wasnt super fond of me because i wasn’t as manly as him but after being apart od this family for years he has massive respect for me and I him. A lot of the kids i work with have no dads, or theyre in jail, or addicts and things like that. Some mens place in This world is using their muscles, for me, mine is being a father figure and showing love and kindness to kids that don’t normally have it. I think its nice that modern society can accept a wide variety of roles for its citizens and not have an expectation that men have to work hard and women have to do all the home and child work.
      Also, my wife may end up working for her dad soon which would mean she’s working manual labor and im working with children 😂
