Crawl space incident

[taco]

I removed my crawl space door last week to get my lawn mower out and noticed that the inside of the crawl space door was dripping with water. The crawl space is about 12 x 16 Ft and is unvented and has insulation (brown paper facing down) on the sub floor with a 6 mil plastic covering the whole area and another 6 mil sheet covering 95% of the dirt floor. The crawl space door is from Basement Solutions. The heat was on in the house when this took place, but I have never seen this and I am wondering why it took place. Is the crawl space too insulated? I don't think seeing water like this is good in a dark crawl space.

Thanks

Dear Taco,
We recently had problems with spam (robots posting in the forums) In solving the problem apprantly it also moderated your post. I will try and answer your post. 1) Hot and cold will always produce condensation. I would recommend a total encapsulation (CrawlShield)
2) I then would recommend that your install a Santa Fe Advance (Crawl Space dehumidifier). This will help the crawl space and your second floor.

30 I would recommend removing the paper insulation as it is mold candy. Install a non organic insulation.

Hope this helps.

I've seen forums that requite to type in a string before you are able to post. Maybe this can help you with you spam issues?

Either way, thanks for reply. The previous crawl space door was wood and maybe the condensation soaked into it and that's why I could not see it on the inside of of the door.
