Crawl Spaces

Install a full plastic membrane or a concrete slab on every crawlspace floor. Properly seal & insulate foundation walls.This is the number one preventive measure that in most cases is much more useful than ventilation.

• Do not build so that the seasonal high water table or floods rise above the footings. This is a condition that requires a completely open crawlspace or a building on pilings.
• If the footings stand in water or get wet seasonally, provide a capillary break between the footers and the foundation walls.
• Carefully install and test water and waste piping, making sure that there are no leaks at the joints 
• Do not locate vent fan exhausts, dryer exhausts in the crawlspace unless the are properly sealed and insulated to avoid condensation.
• Create positive surface drainage around the home, and make sure gutters and downspouts are directing water away from the foundation.
