Nice

First video I see on this matter and its the best ever I've seen so far cause you make it super clear and step by step ! which I m about to do but were still kinda of confused on what to start with... and here pops up your video, saves my life and claring my minds of doubts and endless brainstorming ... thousands thanks for sharing your experience ...now trying to google your website hopefully you still sell supplies for encapsulation

Crawk space? That's a basement 😳

Such meticulous pre-planning... wow...

what if you don't have interior wall?

Would have been nice to see the finished product; the entire crawl space!

This is a great company. Thanks to these videos and the materials they sell I successfully encapsulated 2 houses. Thanks Crawlspace depot!

Really cool to watch. Crawlspace aren't common here and this would not meet code here now... But neat to watch there's a lot of crawlspaces out there. Slab on grade are becoming more common. Not having a poured concrete floor is uncommon here as well

So this is only needed if there's no insulation under floor joists?

So my crawlspace has been flooding horribly for years apparently. We have just excavated and diverted a river (literally) away from our home. Installed French drain and weeping tile. The builder or previous homeowner put down poly but there was literally 6-10 inches of water underneath the poly. It was done very half asked.. So I have removed it all. The dirt is completely saturated down there still. Question, should I allow it to dry out a little before applying a new layer of thicker poly? Hope this makes sense. The groundwater was literally pouring in below the footings, we also rerouted the waterline from our well. It's been a huge job so far. I just want to make sure I'm doing things right. Thanks. Good vid.

No mention of sealing the crawlspace entry?

My 1911 House thanks you !

Where can you buy the foam board from and what is the r value of it and does it need a vapor barrier behind it?

musta been nice to have so much head space

You should have applied mastic the open fiberglass edge of that duct board that you cut. It’s unhealthy to breathe glass fibers, And that’s the whole point of this is to help with indoor air quality is much as overall energy efficiency that should be a consideration. Also any modification to a duct system should be done by someone who intrinsically understands what that is going to do to the rest of the system. When you change one thing you change everything. Edit: also screws are unlikely to hold that to the duct board, thank God you’re strapped it that’ll help. Most duckboard attachments are done with a tab system that compresses the duckboard between the two sides of the collar because you’re basically screwing into something soft as a sponge.

How thick is the foam?

In the case of new home construction...is there any reason not to install the encapsulation before framing the floor system?.....such as exposure to rain before the house is dried in?

No one does this kind of seam protection. I like it

Excellent prep information is provided. A comprehensive video all around.

warranty is not impressive . Should be 5 years parts and labor

That's the largest crawl space I've ever seen...wow.

The checklist is no longer on your website.

Good speaker for the company. Good information. Very professional video.

These are the most helpful videos on the net for crawlspace encapsulation. Excellent complete explanations.of the DIY methods.

Excellent and very informative video. Thank you.

can i rent the GX 120 nail gun?or will any nail gun work?

You make it look easy. Unfortunately my crawlspace is 80 years old and not tall enough to sit up !

That French drain looks all wrong. You want a trench off the footing and just as low or lower.. plus they should put the peanuts under the pipe to..

Each time U show the AFTER pic....U show without insulation.. It's that how it is ????

Where in the world do you find craw spaces that big?

Just a couple of questions. By removing the soil along the foundation you’ve just removed the chemicals applied for termite control and voided the Termite Contract, what do you do about that? 2) wouldn’t it be easier and more cost effective to seal the area in the foundation allowing water entry, in this case it looks like the main drain line is exiting through the wall right where you started the French drain.?

Wow can we even call that a crawl space when no crawling is necessary? I can’t even crawl on my “crawl space”

my crawlspace encapsulation... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4XVdmCChLiKoc0

Just watched your entire series on insulating Crawl spaces. Thank you! Very informative. I just bought a 1970 cottage that we will be living in year round here in Canada and I need to do this to the open crawl space. Your videos are gold!

Everything you have said in this video is so true I wish that home owners can see this video an let us help fix the problem in their crawl space

Is the air inducer used in conjunction with a dehumidifier or instead of?

Looks like everything you did was first class, except the most important thing. Buy your employees a real respirator so they aren't breathing the chemicals and dust. Your work and video was very well done. Thank you for providing that helpful info.

That's not a crawlspace, that' a short basement! It's called a crawlspace because it's only big enough to crawl in! Mine is less than 18" in places and maybe 3' at it's tallest side. My yard slants downhill and so does the crawlspace. If mine was that tall I would dig it out and have me a basement.

Great videos , thank you very much. Would it not be better to put the insulation on the outside of the fountain insulated down to below frost line? That is as long as foundation does not sit in the water table.

I really enjoyed the 5 videos, very informative, but the clicking noise between sections sure got old quick.

this is almost how you build a grow room

How bout if your ac and heat r located in the basement......crawl,area??

Great video....thanks

I want to condition my entire crawl space (heat & cool ) to control moisture and keep floor above warm in winter & keep moldy smell down. I want to insulate the perimeter joist ground to sub floor. U did nit cover this. Too much heat loss leaving 13 inches at floor not insulated. What to do there.?

Air moving through the walls from crawl to attic that you mentioned is referred to as interstitial leakage. Openings around chimney and plumbing vent pipes are large cause. Clothes driers, running bathroom vents too long, and range hoods that vent to the outside, especially the new high capacity ones remove a tremendous amount of air which has to be replaced. Some range hoods move 1.5 to 2.5 tons of cooling per hour. That make up air has to come from somewhere, such as backdrafting the chimney, water heater, etc. Since learning about indoor air quality and thinking of the house as a system of interactive components, you are the first person to create a post that actually understands the true issues and dynamics of air movement through a building. No one lives in a sealed glass bottle. If air goes out somewhere, then air comes in somewhere. You are showing the difference between ventilation (the controlled movement of air) and infiltration (the uncontrolled movement of air.). Congratulations on your extensive knowledge and thank you for sharing it.

What kind of company can do this work? Is it a specialize company or a general contractor can do this?

Incredible outfit here. What goes where pink panther stuff was?

You guys don’t play! Like me, quit school because of recess.

Make em all wear knee pads. Your works incredible.

Shouldn't the trench be lower than the foundation where the wTer is
