Q: Can you make a crawl space liveable?

• <div><p>Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable. </p></div>

Q: Is a moisture or vapor barrier necessary?

• <div><p>A moisture or vapor barrier helps separate the warm air inside your home from the cold air outside of it. Without it, your walls could collect condensation, mold, or other damage. Check your local building codes to see if including an interior vapor barrier is necessary for your building project or renovation, especially for rooms that are likely to be humid, like bathrooms.</p></div>

Q: Can underfloor insulation cause moisture and mold?

• <div><p>Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and&mdash;if your floors are wood&mdash;rotting.</p></div>

Q: Should you cover the dirt in a crawl space?

• <div><p>Covering the dirt floor in your crawl space with a vapor barrier helps insulate the space and improve the air quality in your home. It protects your crawl space from pest infestations, excess moisture, and mold growth. It also makes the crawl space less dusty, which means there&rsquo;s a lower chance of dust mites breeding and causing allergic reactions in your home.</p></div>

Q: Does basement insulation need a vapor barrier?

• <div><p>Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-insulation.htm">install insulation</a> or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. </p><p> </p></div>

Mini split installation and seal the cement and I’m gonna have a very comfortable place to work year round."

"Douglas Bush and his crew, Warren and Randy, did an excellent job. They did everything that was quoted in the price and came back the following day to complete the job. All three were very professional and courteous. They were not even annoyed by all the questions I had as they completed the work.
Warren repaired a bungled gutter job that some other folks did that I hired. He came in and fixed everything including adding some pieces and two additional down sprouts.
Doug and Randy did a great job installing the french drain so that water can run from my backyard down the side slope of my home to the street. Once the dirt settles, I will be getting them back to add some dirt and level the yard. I am pleased with the results because it will keep the water from settling in my back yard and around my foundation.
