Crawlspace Encapsulation is a game changer…🤩

👇All the tips and ideas from my videos are organized in here:
 
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.

As a midnight monster that hide between spaces under things, I appreciate this crawlspace.

[John-prsw]

Former cable guy. After seeing years worth of crawl spaces, I’ve never seen this. This is clearly someone who spent top dollar to ensure this was done properly

[mharagal]

This ain’t no crawlspace, that’s a crawl-home right there. A thing of wonder

[edwin]

I like hearing people praise others in their respective professions. Because they can see care was put into building what we're seeing in this video, no quick fixes anywhere, just plain professional work.

[Phearsum]

I've never in my entire life seen a crawlspace that didn't look like a hazard to my health and peace of mind, until now. It's a thing of beauty.

[JBrander]

Look at that subtle off-white covering. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God.. It even has a dehumidifier...

[BeatsByKeshi]

They built the home like if it was gonna be theirs. That’s how all houses should be built like.

I showed this to my father and uncle at the same time. They’re both an HVAC technician and electrician respectively but help each other do the other job if they have free time.

They both saw this crawl space and I think genuinely started crying.

Former mold and water remediation tech here, and this should be standard point blank period! 🤘🏽Kudos to whomever had this done 🤌🏽

50 year builder here. This is exquisite. Never seen better.

Plumbers and Electricians around the world just shed a tear at this

[Uufda]

I'm not someone who knows much about crawlspaces, but even I can admire this. So well-done it itches a spot in my brain.

[JJ-iuhl]

I've been in one like this. Dehumidifier and all. The homeowner was a tiny old man, and he was beaming when I said I'd have to go down there to work on plumbing. He couldn't wait for me to see his incredible crawl space. He was a man who took pride in doing things right.

Before i saw the floor joists, i thought it was a very clean parking garage. Never have i seen such a beautiful crawl space, that is impressive

[adamraines]

as a guy who lives in a crawlspace, i appreciate people like this.

[ClubRioDallas]

I think about this crawlspace all the time now 😂😂😂 just be. Driving and thinking of this randomly, glad this came up on the timeline again

[UncleJJ]

I’m a HVAC technician and I’ve almost been brought to tears by this crawl space.

[ixpol]

As a plumber, I wish all "crawl spaces" were like that.

[SpartanJega]

my dad this to our crawlspace. He died 5 days ago. I miss him so much. I think of him everywhere.

[Flow-ww]

This this is helpful to optimize indoor air quality and reduce the likelihood of mold related illness, well done!!
