    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.

    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.

  • @scotttrujillo363
    @scotttrujillo363 4 года назад

    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.?

    • @brucecampbell6133
      @brucecampbell6133 4 года назад

      If the water problem stems from high water table or perched aquifer, sealing the outside or inside of the foundation won't prevent water from entering the crawl space; it will just move up through the soil in the crawl space. The internal french drain would be the easiest install and control but the sump pump discharge needs to be directed away from the house so that it cannot re-enter the crawlspace or re-charge the shallow aquifer.

    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.

  • @richardmccombs617

    • @CrawlspaceDepot
      @CrawlspaceDepot 5 лет назад

      Great question! Many homes with a closed crawl space have the air handler in the crawl space and it poses no problem. The only time it would pose a potential problem is if it is a gas appliance in which it receives it’s combustion air from within the crawl space (usually on older systems). Many newer systems have a two pipe system in which one pipe draws the combustion air from outside the structure, while the other pipe exhausts air outside the structure. This two pipe system which does not draw its combustion air from within the crawl space poses no problems. We always advise to check with your local HVAC contractor to confirm which type of unit you have. Even if it is drawing the combustion air from within the crawl space, they may have a solution to address that situation. Non-gas systems do not pose any issues. Let us know if you have any more questions!

      @Trtmfm 5 лет назад

      @@billjones5178 Check your states code. In NC code requires rim insulation in either conditioned or non-conditioned crawls. There are a few ways to do it. Personally, in a conditioned space, I'd use kraft faced insulation so if you ever needed to do a repair or inspect the rim board you aren't trying to remove a foam board that typically is sealed in with spray foam.

  • @walterkirkland28
    @walterkirkland28 5 лет назад

    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.
