TREATING CRAWL SPACES AND OTHER EARTHEN AREAS

 

Gas Collector and Riser

  • The gas collector can be a single length of flexible and perforated pipe.
  • It could also be connected to a flat drain mat, or to a board raised off the floor with bricks.
  • Seal well around riser.

Preparing Foundation Walls for Attachment

  • If foundation walls are poured or are constructed of block, the caulk can be applied directly to the surface.
  • Wire brush off loose dirt, slight dampness is not a concern.
