Will the plastic used under the foundation dry up crack into pcs . And get poke pcs of plastic all over.. i thought the vent dry out the moisture
Is there a way to not use a dehumidifier? I had 50% moisture reading on the wood in my crawl space. I don't have $10,000 or whatever it will cost for encapsulation and machinery. Can I use Thompson's water seal on the wood and concrete sealer on the walls?
Spray foam is the WORST for insulating a Crawlspace. That info is completely wrong. If you have high moisture in a Crawlspace and can’t afford to do an encap, spray foam will trap moisture and rot your wood extremely fast. Even when doing an encapsulation, you shouldn’t spray foam in a Crawlspace.

SHOULD NOT HAVE POSTED ON Youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Us termite professionals cringing hard at the mention of spray foam directly on wood members. Good luck getting a thorough WDIR.
Insulation is better on the OUTSIDE. On the inside it can trap moisture in the wood. The foundation wicks water up onto the wood so the spray foam creates a vapor barrier sealing it inside.
Watch at 2x. Avoid slow talkers
This is dangerous info for the non-informed. There are a couple of useful cutting tips though.
Pretty sad you guys posted a video of a young man breathing in fungus, mold, who knows what else while failing to protect the young man properly by equipping him with proper ppe
No radon test??
