Who are we and what do we do?
HydroHelp911 has been helping property owners repair their foundations and solve their crawl space issues in North Carolina for many years. The company started out as Advanced Ventilation Solutions which grow quickly in crawl space repair and basement waterproofing, but we did very little in terms of ventilation services.

$2980, 1550 sqft crawlspace. Did it on my own, by Crawlspace Ninja guidelines. 1.5 months on weekends. I was quoted $18k. Now I will say this, I will never do it again. I can see why its pricey. Labor intensive when most everything is done on your back or side. Some sitting. Max height is 3ft in mine. But the benefits are awesome. Noticed them about one month after approaching spring. Barely run the heat. Crawlspace stays within 3-4 degrees of the house

Very nice detailed explanation.
I know you will be successful if you are a honest hard worker.

Getting estimates now for 1000sqft crawl, no major issues, just humidity and condensation in summer (NC). So far, the estimates have ranged from $6700 to $21000. The low estimate did not include a dehumidifier. We've had 5 estimates so far and what I find interesting as a potential customer is they all do it differently and they don't ask or care what the customer wants. When I ask if they can do something I want or prefer, the answer is usually 'no, we don't do it that way'. As a customer, I'm having difficulty finding a company that will do what I want.

Great job and honest answer, great explanation

Realize this is a year old but hoping someone will reply - up north, if you were to insulate the walls (so as to be able to run pipes and drains in the space and not worry about freezing/bursting) would there be value in also insulating the ground (would it be under or over the plastic barrier?) and one heat line and one cold air return to the furnace to keep air moving (cold in summer, hot in winter) - is that the right or wrong way of thinking?

Thanks for all the great advice. I hope you can help me with an issue. The crawl space floor is concrete. There are 2 pony walls. The walls are open 2x4’s, 32” high. One is about 48’ long, the other is about 27’ long. They sit on a concrete curb that varies from 2” up to 6”. How do I deal with installing the sheet plastic in/around these walls to get an effective encapsulation? I don’t want to close them off as I need to be able to pass thru the walls to access plumbing/electrical in the future.
Thanks, Jon

Hi there, your videos are so nice and gorgeouse and also all thumbnails is nice and I rate this 10.

[BenUpyers]

5 ⭐️ for UnderStructureRepair in Bristol. $3 per square feet of area. + 500 set up fee + $1900 top dehumidifier. They were 1/2 what the others were but proved they were superior. Low overhead. Super Professional.

Or other new alternative resources that people use to build homes now? What do people do for tiny homes?

It's foolhardy to even suggest that there shouldn't be a drainage system installed anywhere in the United States in any residential home. When it rains and if the grade is not correct a drainage system will be needed.

Let's take an average of 1100 square foot crawl space like mine. So that means doing a lot of planned in advance. Then on perimeter trenches, lots of digging in the crawl space and other areas where you know the drainage is needed, and hauling out a lot of dirt. It takes 54, 5-gallon buckets to remove one yard of soil. Each bucket weighs about 55 lb. That's many thousands of pounds. And then the intense labor to dig the trenches, haul nearly 3 yards of 3/4 rock down into the trenches with 3 to 4-in perforated pipe, with a very porous fabric around the pipe. This then with 2 to 3 inches of rock atop perforated pipe in trench, covered by 2 to 3 inches of rock. So, Trench, then the fabric along the surface of the soil trench, then the rock then the pipe then more rock covered flat along the grade. Once that's all done and it works correctly, it all channels into a sump pump pit and proper 15 gallon basin that's perforated and back filled with three to four inches of rock around the sump pump basin with a proper sump pump like a Zoeller.

So when this guy says $6300 to $7, 000, that's untrue. Add another $5, 000 if you have a contractor do the drainage system. Then add a new sump pump & basin.

And if there's any structural work needing to be done, that needs to be taken care of before anything else. That includes replacing posts, removing old insulation and so on. All told, if you have a company do all this, it'll be over $20, 000. If you do it yourself with structural work, drainage system included, and then a good 12 to 15 mm Vapor Barrier partial or full encapsulation it'll run you anywhere from 4 to $6, 000 but you'll need to hire a team of two guys to help you because three guys minimum needs to do this job. If you do it yourself you run out of steam, make mistakes or quit. There are rare occasions of course that one guy can do it but it's really make sense to hire a couple of guys that are General Contractors that follow your plan to the letter. Tooling up and supplies will run you at least $1, 000 alone. Spend at least 6 months to 12 months planning this on paper. Have contractors come out and look at it, you'll learn a lot but never use them. You'll pick up some helpful tips from them for free. Some will give you bad advice but you learn to know what's good and what's bad advise. You'll need to Electrify your crawl space as well so you can see. Otherwise you're not going to do a very good job. That runs anywhere 300 to $1, 000. The longer you research the easier to get. You can't research this in a few weeks and expect to do it next month. You'll fail. Otherwise plan out, find a couple of general contractors to charge anywhere from $30 to $50 an hour. Their labor alone will run you around $3, 500. Hope this helps!

I have a small 920 sq ft house with maybe 2-3 ft in height underneath. I was quoted $9500 for my crawl space to be cleaned out, encapsulated, sealed, dehumidifier, and lights. I live in central Arkansas

[TheMILVET]

19k for mine, had standing water in heavy rains, no mold. 1200sqft 24" height (low working height) contactor hand dug added drainage pipe and gravel, added sump pump 60' exterior drain pipe, pier and wall encapsulation with insulation. Aldair dehumidifier with remote controller.

[brandiclark]

Would this work with an earth rammed house?

[kathyjenkins]

Will this help take the smell out of the house?

[ToddSnaith]

You're a bit pricey on the D-Hue paid $1500 for April air E80.

[mersonofficialvlog]

Hi there, can I apply a graphic designer. I've know how to create clicky and catchy thumbnails.

[marissa]

I was quoted 19k for an 800 sq ft house for encapsulation

[EvangelistRobertBlack]

No. Not true. Worked for contractors my entire life who do end to end. And never have issues these people are trying to rip people off. And encapsulation of the block huh?? What do you think it's sitting on duh...
