Disgusting Crawl Space!  Before and After Crawl Space Encapsulation!

For years I have wanted to clean out our crawl space under our house, and last November we finally did it! It is one of those things that ALWAYS get pushed to the bottom of the list of things you want to do around the house! Redo Projects over the 20 years - New Boys Bath check, New Master Bath check, Kitchen check, New Roof check, New Windows check, Paint House check, New HVAC check, Paint inside of the house (3 times) check, New Hardwood Floors check. We have done everything you can imagine, but not the crawl space! Who really cares about under your house!  (at least my wife doesn’t)  Well, let me tell you! This is the thing we should have done FIRST! 
Here are 6 reasons you need to do this ASAP!   
1st - Supper HIGH humidity levels under the house! Before we encapsulated the crawl space, the humidity level was OVER 80%+! That is terrible! As you can see from the wood moisture detector, the wood underneath was at 23.6% These are not good or healthy levels of moisture to have! It was not damp under the house… it was WET! This will foster mold and mildew growth and critters LOVE the moisture! 
2nd - We had critters living underneath the house! We had rats and an armadillo living under the house! When you have live critters, you will also have dead ones too! DISGUSTING!
3rd - Completely change the atmosphere of the inside of the house! It smells cleaner! MUCH less humid in the house! The old humidity level was in the 80%+ range and now it is a consistent 40%. The wood underneath the house was at 23.6% now it is 8.3%!!  
4th - The cleanout! Danny Poppell and his crew took out 18 - 55 gallon black trash bags of crap out from under our house!!! 18! That is a crazy amount of trash under my house! When they cleaned it out, they also sprayed the entire crawlspace with a cleaner that kills mold, mildew, and fungus! When they finished spraying the cleaner, they sprayed a TON for BUGS! They bug bombed it 2 times and sprayed the entire crawlspace. 
5th - Peace of mind! It is a strange but good feeling that underneath my house is clean and perfectly climate controlled! I did not mention the temperature under the house stays a really constant 60 to 70°!  
6th - Last but most definitely the nerdiest! I have an app that tells me the conditions under the house! Temp and Humidity!  
SO I would 100% recommend having this done NOW! All the other things you see are nice and they make for a happy wife (even Lisa was impressed with the encapsulated!)….but this is one of those adult things that makes all the other things last longer and make the house more enjoyable, healthy, and safe! Danny Poppell did this job for me, and I would highly recommend him. His crew did an amazing job and his bid came in MUCH less than others! His cell number is 912-507-9476 CALL HIM!
