Thank you both so much for posting this. I just did my first ever floor joist repair (a lot of wood rot, much like this) and this was both informative and affirming. Great work!

Question here, what originally caused that rot? And, won’t the moisture from the dirt cause rot? Or dry rot?

@ching574 6 месяцев назад

probably all the ground contact and also no ventilation is the cause of the rot they did fix it but later down the road the same thing will happen they should have moved the house (yes its possible ive done it on multiple jobs) added a new foundation and stem wall so that the house is higher off the ground and added vents so the crawl space can get proper ventilation

@cripplecreekfarmsky 6 месяцев назад

@ching574 is correct about the crawl space needing more ventilation. There are a few ways to go about that, just depending on time and budget. We're currently evaluating which way we'd like to proceed. Leaning towards removing cinder block from each side of the room to place crawl space vents. We would have to dig around the vents outside to place vestal window wells. By no means a perfect solution but it would drastically help. Thanks for the question!

You're correct about the crawl space needing more ventilation. Thinking of just removing cinder block from each side of the room to place crawl space vents and vestal window wells. By no means a perfect solution but it would definitely help along with the pressure treated lumber.

@@cripplecreekfarmsky Ahh thank you! I’m very curious on all of this stuff. I’m dealing with something similar with my kitchen. However, there is a small crawl space under the kitchen and it connects up to the rest of the basement. But I cannot install vents due to how the structure was built and because it connects to the rest of the basement. I planned on putting a vapor barrier down and a way for any water that could potentially build up, down into a drain. But the only thing I could think of to help with the moisture (if there is some left) was a dehumidifier. Thanks for the video!

@@ching574 Like, actually picking up the whole house and moving it to install a new foundation?
