@builderbrigade: 🫵 If you’re serious about building a house this year... Start right now with my Home Building Checklist 👉 Get it at BuilderBrigade.com Video Credit: @ChristionHouse So what these guys do it lay down a plastic vapor barrier (Moisture Barrier) And tape every single seam, beam, and everything in between. See how I rhymed those 😉 This way the ground is completely sealed off. You can even add a dehumidifier that pulled excess moisture out of the air. Then pair that with a sump pump that pumps any standing water produced by the dehumidifier or accumulated moisture out of the space. So encapsulating the crawlspace it’ll do a few things: -Seal the house from the moisture coming from the ground -Prevent mold -Improve the indoor air quality - energy efficiency I don’t think you’ll recoup the cost through energy efficiency but cleaner indoor air and less moisture make it a deal in my eyes. Cost ranges from $5-$10 a sq ft. The cost is all over the place so get a few quotes before signing off. #BuilderBrigade #homebuildingtips #HomeBuildingChecklist #encapsulation #crawlspaceencapsulation
