Proper Crawl Space Ventilation

Save energy, save money Series seg. 1, make your house safer and healthier. Can be retrofitted on almost any structure.Insulating crawl space concrete walls. Installing a 6 mill. vapour barrier. Using 4" pvc pipe the area under the plastic gets exhausted continously thru the draft created from a riser pipe running up a chase or a outside wall. This will remove radon and anything else below grade.You will keep mold down in the whole house. If its new construction be sure to install the riser in a chase the higher the pipe the greater the draw and pressure. Imagine all these 4" pvc tubes poking thru the plactic continually sucking the air out from under the plactic. This system should be used in any climate. Because you don't know what could be in the dirt under your house! This is the first in a series of save energy/save money. Thanks for viewing Keith

Insulating heating ducts in the crawl space under the house

I insulated the heating ducts under my house. I was getting cold air blowing through the vents in rooms furthest from the furnace. I had to seal all the leaks...that was causing low flow of heat circulation. Using mastic and fiber reinforced tape(like the kind you use on drywall or cement board, I sealed all the leaks. Also I insulated the heating ducts completely. Now I am feeling like the house is warming up when the heater goes on. What a difference. For the cost of about $220, I got everything at home depot. Reflectix insulation, Nashua tape, Master brand air duct sealant "MASTIC", and I used fiber reinforced tape that I already had - the kind you use on durock cement board. I am not an expert. There are not a lot of videos on insulating heating ducts so I made one. I am positive that what I have done here will save money in the future. The house is warmer than it was - noticed it right away. Everything used can be found at home depot. Be inspired to save on heating bills. Instead of sitting around watching TV or wasting away like a zombie in front of the computer...it feels great to do a job to completion, and reap a money saving result. OK you've heard it before on the home depot commercials - you can do it; we can help. O' and it is quite a workout crawling around on hands and knees for about a week. Enjoy :)
