Definitely remove the plastic from the floor joists. The next step would be to install the perimeter drainage system with sump basin and sump pump. Lots of people forget once you encapsulate your crawl space, you basically have a swimming pool. You need to have a way to deal with any water that gets on top of the vapor barrier. (Water leaks, flooding, or burst pipes do happen) Adding a Dranjer F-S2 valve to your sump basin cover is a good solution. I plan to run drainage legs to the center of each of my crawl space zones. Each one will be just under flush with the ground and have their own Dranjer valve.

Lol love the comparison to swimming pool, indeed vinyl liner swimming pools

Agree with Michael... any emergency-type issues aside, putting the dehumidifier in completely changes things - and almost immediately. Get you some 12-mil plastic from the CSN DIY store, determine the best location for the dehu unit, put down a good size square of plastic, place the leveled blocks to support the unit on top of it (leaving plenty of plastic to tape to the final barrier install) and get that dehumidifier going (with a condensate solution). It'll start getting the crawl space in order quick and it makes for a lot better working environment for the rest of the project.

Derek said he had a vapor barrier attached to the bottom of the floor joist. You said to rip it out because it could trap moisture. What if a radiant barrier is attached to the bottom of your floor joists?

@CrawlSpaceNinja Год назад

The radiant barrier would have the same effect. You'll want to remove it so that moisture does not get trapped.

I have a question: I’m beginning to address issues in my crawl space (mold, vapor barrier replacement, etc) For the 1st phase I plain to close off all vents except 1 which I will install a fan( 220 cfm) opposite of the Aprilair 80 that im installing. btw the space is 2400sf. At this point I want to remove all insulation to insure I remove moisture that’s accumulated behind the paper. This this okay? The space already has a vapor barrier but poorly installed. I will then also correct the poorly placed sump pump and install correctly. I want to address the moister issue first. Then I have a fogger which I will use to spray sporicidon after I turn off the dehumidifier and AC for a few hours. Then I will begin to use a soda blaster to remove the mold. Next step will be to begin total encapsulation. Will this steps work. Appreciate any feedback please. Thanks in advance

@CrawlSpaceNinja Год назад

Adrian, you definitely will want to remove the old insulation and improperly installed vapor barrier. Here's a video on running a fogger in your crawl space: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N4Juw0Gr4q4.html This is also an informative video on soda blasting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6jnHZhYZSVQ.html It looks like you have a solid game plan. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching and we hope you have a happy and blessed day!

When one does get to the encapsulation phase, can you install the new 12 mil barrier over the loose lay builder installed plastic to save labor and time, or should it be taken up/removed first? Seems if it is in good shape without much damage/holes, it may only add to the thickness of the new ground barrier overall and further lower the barrier’s water vapor permeance.

@richardlemke4240 Год назад

You'll want to remove any debris plastic and anything else before laying down a new vapor barrier moisture can get trapped between the two of them and build mold growth and create smells

I just installed a french drain in my crawlspace. The ground is completely wet. No standing water, but the dirt is completely wet and very soft. Will it dry out with a dehumidifier? If it will, seems like it could take a long time.

@CrawlSpaceNinja Год назад

Vinyl Rules, thanks for the question! A crawl space can usually be dried out in eight to ten hours with a dehumidifier set at 30% or 45% humidity. Moisture levels and the size of the area determine how long it takes to dry out. After you remove all debris and outstanding water from your crawl space, you can use a dehumidifier to dry it out. We hope this helps. Have a happy and blessed day!
