[QUOTE="wundrbird, post: 16278368, member: 18025"] I'm with the others on encapsulating the crawl space, but for less money just a new, sturdy vapor barrier on the ground and a good dehumidifier will probably work well. Make sure rain water moves away from the house, close off the vents, and you're done. Like a previous poster said, you may not even need insulation at that point. The worst thing that architects and builders in the south ever did was to have a vented crawlspace and an air-conditioned home. That's the perfect recipe for mold and termites. Start here for some good info: [URL="https://healthyhomes.ces.ncsu.edu/moldmoisture/"]Mold/Moisture[/URL] Look up radiant barriers for attics as well. That's the second phase soon to come in my home.
