Dampness and crawlspace encapsulation
I have a 1.5 story house that sits on a hill. The part that has the basement has been excavated around by about 2 feet in the crawlspace. The other part is about 5-6 feet higher than the basement side. It looks like they did not damp proof the crawl space side. When it rains, I don't see any standing water on the excavated part however on the higher area, the concrete block wall looks like it is damp up to 7-8". I don't see the actual water but the whole soil is damp.
I put a hygrometer in the crawlspace and the humidity reading reached 93% so I want to do something about it. I am thinking about dryspace which is similar to the clean space system. I however am not sure if I need to do something first about the moisture. Also, the house is 25 years old and it never had problems with mold but after following some advice on the internet and closing the vents, a year later and I can see traces of mold on the fiberglass. I am interested in your opinions about what I should do.
