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.
Really cool to watch. Crawlspace aren't common here and this would not meet code here now... But neat to watch there's a lot of crawlspaces out there. Slab on grade are becoming more common. Not having a poured concrete floor is uncommon here as well
Excellent prep information is provided. A comprehensive video all around.
Thank you for the information & video & material link.
Thank you. Good information.
Where in the world do you find craw spaces that big?
Would have been nice to see the finished product; the entire crawl space!

No one does this kind of seam protection. I like it
My 1911 House thanks you !
What kind of company can do this work? Is it a specialize company or a general contractor can do this?
