Q: What are the downsides of a wet room?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wet-room-offers-versatile-bathroom-design.htm">downsides to a wet room</a>, the most important of which is the risk of mold growth from the moisture and humidity. Standard bathrooms can have the same issue, but wet rooms are more likely to experience problems because water is less carefully contained. You also have less privacy since the entire bathroom is open, and the room must include waterproofing, which makes wet rooms more expensive to install than regular bathrooms.</p></div>

Q: What are the downsides to crawl space encapsulation?

• <div><p>The primary downside to crawl space encapsulation is the high cost, which can be several thousand dollars. Additionally, the process can make future repairs more complicated by limiting access to plumbing and electrical wiring within the crawl space. Encapsulation also requires sealing off any vents, which can be a disadvantage for home designs that benefit from the airflow they provide. It's recommended to consult with a crawl space contractor to determine if the benefits outweigh these potential drawbacks for your specific home.</p></div>

Q: What is the best ventilation for a crawl space?

• <div><p>The best ventilation for a crawl space is a fully encapsulated crawl space with its own separate ventilation system. If you go this route, ensure you have the proper <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-crawl-space-built-todays-standards.htm">crawl space code requirements</a> done and dusted before encapsulating your crawl space with a moisture barrier and installing appliances that may not be up to the proper specs. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay if it rains on underlayment?

• <div><p>As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it&rsquo;s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn&rsquo;t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you&rsquo;ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.</p></div>

Q: How often do you need to clean your crawl space?

• <div><p>Plan on cleaning your crawl space at least once a year, though twice a year is ideal. During the cleaning, remove any debris or dust and check for potential issues like pest infestations or water damage. The sooner you catch these issues, the easier (and cheaper) it will be to fix them.</p></div>

"Bought this in the spring to use before burning in the fall/winter. Ended up moving in December and did not use it.
I'm wasn't sure how to score a company I didn't use (and not reviewing isn't really an option), so I just picked a score consistent with the average rating.

"He was awesome. He called back, but he was working in Reed field, North Carolina and he could not get to us for a couple of days. By the time, he got to us we had already gotten the other estimates, and we were pleased with him. Hampton guy was great. He was really quick to get back to us, but he had other projects that he had already lined up. The experience was very satisfactory. He was very courteous, and prompt. He was very honest in saying that he cannot get to us, and if we needed to have this work done now, then we need to have to get somebody else. I appreciated that."
