What NOT to do in your crawl space
There are many companies claiming that they can seal your crawl space by pumping concrete over the dirt. This is a BAD IDEA! Pumping concrete into a crawl space introduces approximately 300 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet of floor area. This excess moisture will be soaked into your floor joists and add to the already high humidity of the crawl space. In addition, the surface of pumped concrete is not like that of a basement floor. It is very porous, dusty and chalky and can introduce more caustic chemicals into the air. |
