Conditioned Crawl Space Must Be De-Humidified

Facebook Share Twitter Share Google+ Share

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.

One FHA and VA home inspector and one HUD and FEMA investigator inspect a vacant, condemned, bank owned, foreclosed home for defects, mold, deterioration, electrical, plumbing heating, HVAC, mechanical, structural, roofing and for other building constituents. After they break in, they find a dangerous employee who is a homeless bum who states he just got a job from “The Bank of America” and his job is to be a house sitter. He is a drunk, dug addict, alcoholic, dirty old man who likes his vodka, porn and prostitutes. The ADHD disgruntle retired postal governmental agent who dreams of being a navy seal, bribes the inspectors into paying a royalty fee to vacate the home. This is one skit from one of our “Jim and Marko Show” classes. ”

Cultured Stone, veneer, faux or other fabricated stone cladding systems, may be leaking, infiltrating or permitting moisture, water or vapor intrusion. Many of these homes have hidden; inner wall, interstitial, insulation, band joist, sill plate, sole plate, joist, or wall deterioration. Additionally, certified home inspectors who perform moisture investigation evaluations are also finding insects, termite, carpenter ant, mold or musty odor problems. These siding products were specified by architects and were poorly installed by contractors. These installations were similar to the EIFS (Exterior Insulated Finish System) holocaust, epidemic, and crisis, which resulted in class action lawsuits against builders, developers and Dryvit Manufacturers. Installers failed to place the proper drainage plane, drainage space, capillary break, window flashing, door flashing, weep hole, or rain screen. In these poor installations, water or vapor travel from the exterior to the interior of from the interior to the exterior through gravity, surface tension, capillary suction, absorption, solar vapor diffusion and air pressure. Many of these homes, similar to the synthetic stucco homes, will require full moisture surveys to determine if replacement repairs are necessary. Most repairs will result is a 100% tear off removal.

Popping House Zits

Exterior paint blisters, peeling, and cracking paint that occur on older homes may be the cause of high indoor humidity. High indoor humidity is caused by indoor moisture generators such as a running furnace humidifier, a ventless heater, a dirt crawl space, a leaking dryer vent, a bathroom fan not properly exhausting, and much more. When the homes indoor humidity is higher than the exterior humidity, and grains of water travel through the walls to the exterior through a veichal called vapor diffusion. Older houses have many layers of paint that act like a plastic vapor barrier that does not let the house breath. In the winter, it is colder and dew point temperature is reached on the backside of the many layers of paint. Condensation occurs and water starts to accumulate like a water balloon until it pops like a zit and leaks out. Marko Vovk ClevelandMold, ClevelandMarko <a href="http://
