Level-2 Installed System:

This is our entry-level closed crawlspace system, which also offers dramatic improvements in your current crawlspace. This system is completely building codecompliant and will help to control and treat the conditions under your home. Its features include:

1. 12-Mil Performance Crawlspace Liner Vapor Barrier Material --Our new proprietary material is the heart of our system. It is a heavyweight liner with a new coating recipe to improve toughness, puncture and abrasion resistance. The crawl space cover is 12 Mil thick and has a burning characteristic of ASTM E 84 (also available is the 12 Mil Fire Retardant NFPA701). It is highly puncture resistant and stronger than most 20 Mil Vapor Barrier products. In addition, the perm-rating is excellent. The crawl space cover is white on one side and black on the reverse. The white side is placed up and brightens the crawl space allowing you to easily see that your crawl space is free of mold and insects. The material is durable enough for you to walk or crawl on and will provide years of dependability and trouble free maintenance. The material is to be overlapped and sealed over the wall and pier material. It is easy to work with and retains its form after installation. Our material carries a 25 year warranty on closed crawl space applications.

2. Sealing The Sill Plate -- The point where the wood structure meets the foundation is an ideal place for critters and air to come and go from beneath your home. With an application of caulk around the entire perimeter, we effectively seal off this entry point.

3. Minimum 3-Inch Termite Inspection Gap -- A three-inch termite gap is always maintained around the entire top perimeter of the foundation. This allows for easy inspection by your pest-control professional.

4. Dehumidifier -- The dehumidifiers we install are properly sized and located so as to provide the best conditioning. All dehumidifiers come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Each dehumidifier is set to maintain

5. Sealing Off Existing Crawlspace Vents -- Crawl space vents are not required by code when the crawl space is conditioned. All crawl space vents are properly sealed from inside the crawl space, so as not to change the foundation's outside appearance.

6. Condensate Drain Piping and Pumps -- All condensate collected by the dehumidifier is either drained to the exterior of the home by gravity piping or by a condensate pump, if required. A safety shutdown switch is incorporated into the system to ensure that condensate water does not overflow into the crawl space in the event of a pump failure.

7. 25-Year Warranty -- Your Crawlspace Inc. warranties the Crawlspace Cover Material to be free from manufacturing and installation defects, flaws, holes, and tears for a period of 25 years, or we will repair the material with no charge to the homeowner. The 25-year Your Crawlspace Inc. warranty is effective only as long as the equipment installed by Your Crawlspace Inc. is properly maintained and the relative humidity does not exceed 55%. Equipment installed by Your Crawlspace Inc. is not covered under this warranty; the equipment is warranted by the individual equipment manufacturers. This warranty does not include damage resulting from abuse, moisture from condensation or sudden water intrusion from broken pipes, floods or pest damage (such as rodents chewing through the liner).

In order to keep the cost of this system low, however, there are a few items that differ from our premium Level-1 encapsulation.

• All electrical needs are the responsibility of the homeowner, including lighting and power, if required.
• Existing insulation will remain in the joist spaces, since no wall insulation is provided.
• Remote humidity monitor is not included.
• No antimicrobial spray is used.

Extra Services Available:

1. Hydrostatic Venting -- We will provide properly sized hydrostatic vents for homes that are located in a flood zone, or where such venting is required by code. Our vents ensure that our crawl space space system operates as intended and prohibits free flow of air or water until a flooding situation occurs.

2. Access Doors and Panels -- We will provide insulated custom-fit doors and removable access panels that provide adequate and easy access to your crawl space. We can provide a means of locking these doors and panels, if required.

3. Crawlspace Humidity and Temperature Monitor -- A remote wallmounted digital monitor is installed in an inconspicuous location inside the living space of the home. This enables the homeowner to easily see that the crawl space system is functioning as intended, and will help to signal when there might be trouble. These monitors show the temperature and humidity levels within the crawl space.

4. Antimicrobial Spray -- Some areas in a crawl space may be prone to moisture, such as under bathrooms or laundry areas (where there are plumbing piping penetrations and the possibility of water leaks); these areas are all sprayed with our antimicrobial treatment to help minimize the likelihood of mold and mildew growth.

5. Monitoring & Maintenance Service -- For a period of one year from the completion of our system installation, we will periodically monitor the crawl space and provide any required maintenance. At the conclusion of one year, the homeowner has the option to purchase a monitor and maintenance plan. Please consult a Your Crawlspace representative for more details.
