How To Lower Humidity Inside Your Crawl Space!
HTML-код

- One of the most common questions I get asked is, "Tanner, how do I lower humidity in my crawl space?" And if you are a homeowner interested in lowering humidity in your crawl space, then take note of all the steps you see us taking, not only in this finished crawl space project video, but in each, and every single one of our finished crawl space encapsulation projects.
You will quickly see in our videos, a crawl space dehumidifier is useless by itself. The same way a crawl space vapor barrier is not going to solve your home improvement plans, when it comes to the moisture problems being repaired inside your crawl space.
It is actually a combination of several of the previous mentioned items, and services. And if these services are performed properly, no matter if you're a diy guy or girl, working hard to fix your own wet crawl space repairs, then you won't have to worry about how to lower humidity in your crawl space any longer!

Damn you make those space look sexier then the house . if I was a kid i would definitely come down there and play
You and me both! Ultimate club house!
You didn't leave a 3 in termite window. Just kidding. Beautiful installation. No termite would dare set foot in that crawlspace.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was driving. I about wrecked when I saw your comment. Haha!
Lemmie get 2 claps and a rick flare WHOOO!
Wooooooo!
Tanner - these are the best crawl space encpasulation videos on the Internet - What are you attached your reinforced poly sheets to the cinder blocks with? I mean, are you using a polyurethane sealant behind the sheets and then screwing the locks in place over it?
Thank you. I can't give away the sauce amigo. 👍👍
@@TannerFlowers hahaha! Figured you might wanna keep that one secret!
🤣👍👍
What can you do with a foundation that's has no perimeter block wall, just piers? We have latticework frames between the piers, with wire mesh behind the lattice.
Make you an attachment strip to run across the top edge, and attach your poly to that stip. Some use treated wood as the attachment strip, but wood will rot in time. A nice galvanized steel attachment strip works best. Sometimes a good piece of treated wood may be your only option.
Proof is in the Pudding No Doubt! Had a guy come into our plumbing shop for a interview and he was saying this and that etc, basically talking a line of shit and the boss looked at me and said well what do you think, I told him Show Me The Baby!!!
He definitely was a shit talker, I put his ass on the road 3 days later.
3 days. That's usually about how long it takes. Haha.
What you did looks great but I would never allow flex duct being used as a supply line. 6 inch galvanized pipe with a fiberglass sleeve is a far superior for longevity and practicality.
@@diamondkutz54 Right on. I don't do anything hvac.
You maked me laugh at the beginning of the video that all the people need fixing on the crawl space
I know they are crap
Because they are really rushing
I thought this intro turned out pretty funny too Rwbar. Thank you!
I think you're sharing valuable information, but I can't hear you over the shouting!
Sorry! ;)
Hey Tanner, great video. Just one comment; pretty sure the dehumidifier is not creating "pressurized air" as it's just circulating the existing air.
What kind of humidistat fans did you use on this job? When the fans are off, are there louvers on the outside that close to prevent humid air from coming back into the crawlspace?
I think it's a great idea to vent that stale air out, looking for a solution.
Copy me. You'll be good. The humidistat fans are Tjerlund V2. I believe that's the name of them. And yes, contrary to your thought, the system will be pressurized, if there is no exhaust. I done learned the hard way, so you don't have to. Unless you doubt me. ;)
And boy that sure has cost people a ton of money over the years.
I appreciate you watching my videos. I appreciate you commenting. Thank you for your time. And learn tons more of this type info at CRAWLSPACEARTISTS.COM
O yeah brother !! The only thing I could recommend to take your installation to 150% is to wrap some aluminum or siding on those crawl space doors you make.. O yeah brother it would be the icing on the cake 🎂.. You could even just use cheap soffit panel siding... I run a window , door outfit so I have a brake but if you don't just wrap em in soffit of siding.. Your talking the entrance to your palace brother.. O YeAH macho man out..🍻💨 Snap into a slim Jim.
Yeahhhhh! Dig it!
Tanner Flowers about to do mine man.. Thanks for the videos.. Up here in Illinois or I'd have you doing it..🍻👍🏼
Appreciate that! Thank you! Good luck with your project.
Tanner, do you recommend leaving the vents open or closed in the summer? Living in Nashville area.
I seal them off completely aside from my humidistat fan placements.
@@TannerFlowers thanks for the info. I live in a new construction neighborhood and the builder said to leave the vents open in the summer. Now we have some fungal growth and mild mold on the wood joist. There is an obvious moisture problem but no standing water. Do you think leaving the vents closed could help mitigate some of the moisture issues?
@@mercedesguy15 No I do not. There are way more obstacles at play against you, in addition to your foundation vents.
@@TannerFlowers Well dang. Appreciate the advice. Not really sure what to do as we don't have money to do encapsulation like you do. My last question is could a dehumidifier provide a temporary solution?
Yes. But if environment is not changed, unit will run, run, run....
So in regards to when I’m told that residential building code requires a “termite gap”.. is that requirement met by the gap at the top between the edge of the block & the seal plate? Or is that not even in building codes?
Can't say. I do not claim to know. But, as far as results go, they speak for themselves. Search "The Truth About Termite Inspections In A Crawl Space" to learn the real real. Thanks for commenting too. I appreciate you tuning in.
Tanner Flowers Have you had inspections done by a city/county building inspector on crawlspace encapsulations? Like maybe the encapsulation done on new construction before anyone occupies a home? Just curious, as I haven’t really found a definite answer
No. Most all new construction builds will never go to the extent of hiring me. So I do not get much of that type headache.
I build new construction homes regularly myself.
Most everything you are told concerning our procedures is bs. Most things you will be attemped to be sold, are complete bs.
I prefer to deal directly with the homeowner, or business owner. The people truly in the know, they know what's up. The people causing you aggravations, have an hourly job, and a lot of those employees enjoy flossing their "power".
But...like I said, you will likely never see our team on any new construction build, unless that decision maker behind that project, is planning to stay in that home a long time themselves.
Tanner Flowers gotcha. Thanks for the response!
@@christhomas6338 any time! I really appreciate you checking out our project videos.

What kind of humidity monitor do I need under my house so I can read it in my house ?
Acu rite
It's beautiful, until you see the bill.
That's the most beautiful part to me. ;)
I say if you need a dehumidifier in a crawlspace after a crawlspace encapsulation the job was done wrong.... What say you Tanner?
I say you are free to think whatever you wish Echotribe.
@@TannerFlowers So you refuse to answer the question? Why do you need a dehumidifier when the crawl has been encapsulated?.... Because im almost positive if the job is done right you don't need one... Can you prove me wrong?
@@TannerFlowers This is a serious question, clearly you do beautiful work so why the need for a $2000 dehumidifier?
Difference in me, I don't care to prove you wrong. 12 years of monitoring does that for me. Sorry I don't care any more than I do.
Just cause it's Sunday, I'll be nice.
