I have a 3 year old log home that I am having trouble with moisture in the dirt crawl space. I have a french drain around the perimeter below the foundation but I still get sweating from the duct work when the A/C runs and through the ground. Humidity measured 95% when he took it on Friday. I blocked all of the vents (this seems to be the new school of thought, make the foundation airtight) and this helped a great deal. I had a crawl space encapsulation comany come out and give me an estimate for $6000.00 for 1600SF. I think this is way to high and would like to do it myself if I can find the proper moisture barrier. Right now I have 6 mil blac plastic but that isn't doing the trick. The company uses 20 mil (similar to a pool liner). Any one have any idea where to purchase something similar? Other wise it's time to bite the bullet and spend the money. I know someone here has run into this problem before. I would hate to spend money on a project that doesn't fix the problem though. Thanks for any help.
