Tell us why the vapor barrier is insulating. How is the barrier constructed. Be good if you could describe the products in more detail. I'm concerned about cat pee smell. Anti-mold products aren't always anti-mold over time. Describe what it is you use and why.

Don't know where this house is, but the spray foam insulation is a big mistake. Better to insulate the crawlspace walls and have no insulation in the joists for the same cost. If you ever have to mess with anything at the floor above the foam is very difficult to remove and mold can grow behind it that no one would ever see. And forget fiberglass insulation. Also, only very rich people can afford any of this. If the average person has a problem, they either figure out a way to do it themselves over long periods of time or do nothing at all while their house's foundation rots away.

Can the dehumidifier "freeze up" like an air conditioner can or like the small little units I have had have done?

Great video

AND a dehumidifier. Wow.

what can you place over the finished walls?

Iced tea in a crawl space? Now I've seen it all!

Concrete rots into dust if it can't dry out. Concrete needs to be exposed to air so moisture can escape. Do not encapsulate.

Thanks for the video

If im understanding right. You encapsulates a crawlspace to avoid moisture,bad smell. Or do you encapsulates a crawlspace to avoid a customer to keep seen the moisture. Because once the crawlspace is encapsulate ,we wont see no moisture. obviously add a dehumidifier just to keep the crawlspace cold. Encapsulates a crawlspace is not going to prevent moisture, the wall will still be wet,water will still come into the crawl space ,the only difference is you won't see it anymore. Please advise

You didn't mention a french drain and sump pump around the perimeter or where the Aprilaire water drains into

Really great job on this video. Very informative on leveling upstairs floors with support jacks.

Excellent video. And great work. Thank you for showing it.

you ended up using another wooden beam tho...

Why not just bolt straight to the existing concrete floor?

The building showed only hairline cracks. You could not even slide a business card between these cracks. No engineer would recommend foundation underpinning for a hairline crack. Just to monitor it for future movement. Perhaps apply a crack monitor if the client is interested in foregoing masonry repairs. It is highly likely this foundation would have settled to stabilization on its own without spending all of this money for foundation underpinning. Always hire a structural engineer first before getting quotes from foundation repair contractors. That step is actually required in many States to meet code requirements. Don't be overcharged for repairs you do not need. Do your homework first.

So the integrity of the I-posts soley rest on the blocking? It appears that the blocking is the what will be holding back the hydrostatic pressure.

I have a job interview tomorrow with '58 Foundations & Waterproofing HR and I'm excited to join the team, this video helps a lot to see how we can evolve with '58 Foundations & Waterproofing, hopefully I will be member of this great company

Good work. Looks great!

This is something that can be done by a DIYer but it's something you should preferably have a helper or 2 for and not something that should just be done after work each day. You really want to take a couple days off of work and spend the weekend getting it done

I’m building my house and didn’t put any crawlspace vents in the blocks because I’m going to encapsulate the crawlspace. My question is do I need to bring any outside air into the crawlspace or just leave it totally encapsulated?

Wise talking...like that!!❤

Great, EFFICIENT, Vid. .....Nice you don't waste 3/4 of the time GOOFING OFF !!!

Where to buy the white butyl moisture barrier tape from

Are you talking AC SET AT 71? OR HEAT?

It's a year later, is the garage full of junk again?

what moisture levels in a crawlspace can start to change the integrity of the floor joists or sub floor?

I have some bedrock in my crawlspace which looks great could I encapsulate around it or pour concrete around it to keep humidity down?

I installed an Aprilaire dehumidifier in my basement and ran a condensate pipe to the floor drain, Game changer. Took the humidity from over 80% to under 40% this changed every in the basement.

After encapsulating a crawl space such as the one in this video, would you add insulation under the floor?

Can you recommended a business in another state to do similar work??

Anyone know what the estimated amount to encapsulate about 360sqft would be?

Im one of those home buyers that thought the crawl space was just that, “a space”. Was I wrong!!!!

got my crawl basement done in NC they have done perfect job. I recommend 58foundations. thankyou 58foundations

These guys did a fantastic job with our total encapsulation under our new addition, it gives us peace of mind knowing our investment is protected from moisture we discovered after we built thanks so much…kim

Thanks for sharing your insight…..

Do you insulate the walls and rim joists and does the moisture barrier go first? Thanks

Great presentation!
