And then keep it out permanently! Before you make any major changes to your home, first you need to get rid of any standing water and deal with any drainage problems. SmartSump is our sump pump for crawlspace drainage.

Removing old from the floor joists and cleaning any air ducts that may have mold on them is a good first step to take. Otherwise, you might seal mold up inside of your crawlspace.

Your best option is using our 20 mils vapor barrier and installing it over the crawlspace support piers, walls, and floors. It is then sealed on the edges in order to prevent humidity from being able to creep up over the side.

You need to make it as if they were never there to begin with. That way, humid air will not be able to easily circulate.

That is an effective way to regulate fluctuations in temperature inside the crawlspace and to save on your energy bills.

Find all of the places where the pipes, wires, and ductwork penetrate the floor.

How can your crawlspace be kept dry after you do all of this work? We recommend a dehumidifier where it will be nearly impossible for any mold to grow there. What is the result? No musty, smelly air. The indoor air quality is greatly improved. Fewer problems with allergies. The HVAC is more efficient. Energy bills are lower. Not as many gigantic cockroaches.
