Send a text

Are you sealing your crawl space correctly or unknowingly trapping harmful gases under your home? Join us as Michael Church from Crawl Space Ninja uncovers the essential steps to proper crawl space encapsulation and humidity control. You'll learn why simply sealing your vents and installing a dehumidifier might not be enough, especially if soil gases like methane, carbon dioxide, or radon are lurking beneath your home. Michael highlights the crucial role of proper ventilation, explaining how moving one CFM of air for every 50 square feet of crawl space can protect your living space from these dangerous gases.

Discover actionable solutions to common crawl space issues, including the installation of a Lomanco PCV1 fan to ensure effective ventilation while keeping your crawl space well-insulated. Michael also delves into the stack effect and radon mitigation, shedding light on how air movement impacts indoor air quality and why a submembrane radon mitigation system might be necessary for some homes. Tune in for a comprehensive guide packed with expert advice and practical tips to maintain a healthy and safe crawl space.
