Wet Crawl Space
The rear of my house is above an unfinished basement with a perimeter drain system (including a sump pump). The original front of the house sits over crawl space that is very wet (fiberglass insulation between the floor joists is wet, too). Does anyone have any tips on fixing this problem? Will I need to dig a drain system with a sump pump in the crawl space? The grading outside is pretty good with the gutter downspouts running at 4 feet from the house.
6-mil plastic sheeting, which comes on huge rolls--10' x 100' and 20' x 100' come to mind--is what you want. Styrofoam boards are easier to do, but fiberglass has more insulation power and costs less. -- --jmowreader
Yes. It's kept in the paint department. -- --jmowreader
