Video shows how the “Stimulus” money is being spent. Millions of dollars are being spent on insulating low income households. Contractors are doing poor, sloppy, and unacceptable work. Many contractors are not properly conditioning crawl spaces. These free insulation installation jobs that are done for the low income homes will cause some homes to slowly deteriorate. When these contractors change the original vented crawl space to a conditioned crawl space, they are sometimes installing double vapor barriers, they are not installing the necessary crawl space de-humidification, and they are not sealing sump pump lids 100%. . The result is mold, condensation, odor, poor indoor air quality, and finally deterioration When you change a vented crawl space to a conditioned crawl space, you need to install a single 100% sealed vapor barrier on the ground and up all exterior foundation walls, install rigid perimeter insulation on exterior walls only, and finally heat and de-humidify. The crawl space should be treated like your living room.
