Brian’s was better

Thanks, never had to run a dehumidifier and this is great info! I quickly got tired of emptying the bucket so I’m trying to figure out where in my finished basement I can drain it more permanently. I actually was thinking to drain it out the same drain as my house ac unit but you said that’s a bad idea 🙁 I’ve got a bathroom sink, kitchen sink, washer/dryer hookup can I utilize any of those as a drain?

Where can I pick this up at?

Well said. ✞ May days be blessed as well ✞

I'm in NC. I can't find in the code where it says in a sealed crawlspace the vapor barrier must go up the wall 12" and be mechanically fastened. Could you please cite chapter and verse? I'm looking at the residential code section R409 and can't find it.

Outstanding. I'm getting ready to replace the old insulation batting in the attic and I wanted to check for air leaks. This video helps.

The Airwerx unit looks like an exact Alorair clone.

Can you attach some sort of furring strips or attach a thin frame to attach to the joists to allow plastic panels to be attached?

Can't find the product info , only t shirts. Please clearly show product information.

Have you ever work as a Carnaval Barker? You're a master!

I need info on having a battery back up for a sump pump that's in my yard

For a Florida house that has piers and no walls around crawl space what is best way to insulate the subfloor ?

I didn’t know where to ask my questions, so I guess I’ll just comment here in hopes you could give me some advice. I’ve seen your wraparound porch video but mine is a little different. While having my porch above my crawlspace, about 1/3 of the porch covers the crawlspace, I have a vapor barrier only over the main structure. My hvac duct work is covered in condensation which is dripping onto my new 10 mil vapor barrier. Adding a dehumidifier seems unhelpful as I’m not trying to dehumidify the world lol. I’m just trying to tackle the issue with my insulated hvac lines and duct work sweating and causing water to collect only in those areas. I currently just bought two 3 speed fans, one on one side of the crawlspace facing the crawlspace door, and one at the crawlspace door facing the other way. Vents to the crawlspace is open here in NC. Temps 88-96, no mold, no wood rot. Will adding these fans be enough ? And do I run them only during the day when it’s hot out ? Or 24/7? Crawlspace is about 1400 sq ft, 3 1/2 ft high. About 8 vents.

New home build. Is doubling up the 6 mill with a 2nd layer be good or bad not recommended?

Michael, yes how to I do something about it? I had it done twice and still it smells. I’m in KY. TIA.

How do you control humidity in crawl space if there's a normal size Doorway going into crawl space . Vented new build loose plastic/paper barrier.? Thanks.... seems like a nothing situation.

Not the exact video for this question, but i went down in my crawl space and noticed EXCESSIVE amounts of condensation on the bottom of the subfloor and insulation…. Should I close my vents and move a dehumidifier down there? really at a loss for words because this place is only 3 years old…. thanks in advance!

Does it have a set CFM or does it adjust based on demand? Like when an exhaust fan comes on?

Does the extra drain let radon gas out and water in?

It’s ridiculous I got a estimate for 20k I took there exact materials they will use cost around 4-5k and the rest is labor i don’t have mold, flood, termite issues and my space 3 ft high very easy install

Thanks for the good video, I am having a house built in eastern Ky, I want the conditioned crawlspace with a 10min vapor barrier along with concrete slab over it. I am trying to get advice on that option. Can you offer your opinion?

Great thanks

Do I need to insulate subfloor if I insulated my brick Foundation

Thanks for information, what if your attic has paneling already and you want the whisper pan

We are purchasing a manufactured home. So our crawlspace will be very tight. What do you recommend and do all these things apply to us? By the way we live in West Texas… But we do get a lot of rain sometimes and there's always water that comes from out of the house.

Getting ready to air seal the attic here in S. Tx adding blown in fiberglass, we live in a nightmare of a home! I have a hip roof design, that has slant roof louvers, plus what looks like ridge vents on the eave, some seem to be dummies and some, most, have been spray painted over, kind of sealing them, how do I fix this, just replace them all, and if so, the attic has zero baffles over these eave vents, would I need to install the baffles all around the perimeter? Are the roof louvers enough for attic venting in itself. We also have a chimney.. how do I go about insulating or creating a barrier when blowing in fiberglass.. Currently there is zero insulation around the chimney in the attic. Please help!

Can a root cellar be made in the crawlspace area?

Once you have the e80 installed in a 1900 sq ft home, set to 45%, what would you say is an acceptable variance we could expect? From what to what is reasonable?

May I ask what is the mode setting for on the front interface ...just got mine June 2024....after washing filter and reinserting the unit sounds twice as loud... Thanks for time

But what if it stinks? Had encapsulation done twice and it still smells? Have a dehumidifier as well, still stink is driving me crazy!

Do the energy savings related to sealed crawls in the study take into account the energy used by dehumidifiers in the sealed crawls?

So then its an easy DIY project?

How do I buy this product? Can I get your phone number?

Thank you so much for the information. I have a crawl space. They laid loose plastic, then covered it with a few inches of more dirt. Digging a trench to put in a sump pump then will install a properly laid vapour barrier. Should I just totally remove all the old plastic from under the dirt?

Is pier and beam better than a crawl space? If you get your house up 3 feet off the ground you don't have to worry about encapsulation and sump pumps, etc. What are the pro's and con's?

How can I order the Dehumidifier kit with everything that in the video?

Thank yoy

how many sump pumps would I need for a 28x80 home

There is plastic under the rocks in our crawlspace and it’s not connected to anything and we would like to get our crawlspace encapsulated. Should that plastic under the rocks be removed or replaced?

You mentionned a link to the whisper fan (4:15) and I don't see it.

What if I am just going in the center of the area?I I want to run ductwork and some cablesto the center of the far wall in a room but there's currently less than a 1 inch gap in that part of the floor. As long as nothing is resting on the dirt is it ok to dig? What kind of contractor can I even call to do this work?

Excellent explanation

Not sure if you will see this but I have a april Aire 1830 that started leaking from the side durning operation. I checked the drip panel tray but it is clear. Any advice before I replace?

This is exactly what I'm in the process of doing. But first I have to remove and clean my soffit which has filled up with leaves and fiberglass dragged into the space by squirrels.

Michael, code is different for covered vent / open vents for where? Are you talking about N. Carolina?

Here in Illinois! When I call companies near me, they say that soda blasting is too messy to do in a crawl space. Instead, they use a HEPA vacuum and then spray it with chemicals.

What’re your thoughts on laying down a second layer of vapor barrier over top of our existing vapor barrier in our encapsulated crawl space. It’s about ten years old and we’ve been down there a lot doing plumbing and other maintenance. The barrier we have now looks rough and has holes.

Hi! We had mold air testing done in our home and the mold in our home air matched the air in our crawlspace. Long story short, there is absolutely no visible mold. We also just had all of our duct work replaced because there was gaps between the ducts and our vents but there is still mold in the crawl space air. Is it possible that it is just coming from the ground? If so, how would I deal with that without having to use harsh chemicals to kill it?
