Check.
Something tells me I should ask what the blue checkmarks are. Something also tells me I should be glad that I don’t know. On occasion, rare as it may be ignorance can be bliss.
Day trip to H-Town.
That’s one big pile of mulch.
Just got a quote of almost $9000 to seal and encapsulate and de-mold my crawl space. Also add a system to keep it drier. Annual service for 5 years included. Going to get a second estimate next week. Any advice on what is actually needed and what is just a ploy to get more of my $$$? The insulation IS nasty and needing to be replaced, but no standing water. Some visible mold throughout but not really bad. Not enough for them to say it needs to be cleaned, just dried out. My house does smell a bit musty when heat/AC is not running. My closet upstairs can get musty smelling. Have thought about looking into a whole house dehumidifier but guy today says this system could eliminate that need. Totally new territory for me as my last house was on a slab.
I went through that exercise when I moved to Tennessee in 2019. We bought a house midway down a slope, and while the previous owners did a fair bit of drainage work to try to route water around the house, we still water in the crawl space and basement during the high spring rains (yes, we have both, a crawl space for most of the footprint but a smallish basement with a wood stove; nice place to go during a tornado warning). I went whole-hog, got the encapsulation, a dehumidifier for the crawl space, de-molding, some sort of padded plastic sheeting on the ground, all to try to keep moisture from building in the crawl space. My whole bill was maybe a couple thou higher than your quote, but I deemed it money well spent. Since that work, we have not seen any evidence of water getting inside the foundation. I just don't like taking chances with foundations, and I don't begrudge the expense at all (although it definitely helped that we moved from Colorado to Tennessee and made out real well with the difference in housing prices between the two; we paid for the foundation work out of the gain we realized from the move).

Not a talkative bunch(not this thread).
Mulch ado about nothing.
