Crawl Space

A NP NI M D

Main Crawl Space 1. Method of Inspection: From the access 2. Unable to Inspect: 10% 3. Access: Basement door 4. Moisture Penetration: See notes. Water was entering the crawlspace through a drain pipe. The

drain pipe appears to be installed to help move water out of the crawl space, but the ground outside of the crawl space has negative slope leading towards the drain pipe. Leveling the outside ground, and adding an extension that is sloped away from the crawl space will eliminate the water issue.

Water present near entrace to

crawlspace/ basement

5. Moisture Location: Near entrance, and through vents. 6. Moisture Barrier: Vinyl covering gravel as part of a radon mitigation system 7. Ventilation: Vents

More insulation in the

crawlspace/basement could be used for

more efficient heating and

cooling of the house

Crawl Space (Continued)9. Vapor Barrier: Under entire home - Few areas where vapor barrier has been moved, or where

more barrier is needed. Recommend that vapor barrier is properly installed over covering the entire crawlspace ground.

Exposed dirt due to missing vapor

barrier can caused excess moister in crawl

space.
