Crawlspace Problems
Amateur and unprotected wiring can be a serious safety hazard. The duct was installed right through the floor joist with no bracing. The top of the joist shows water damage and decay. A garden tub sat right above this area and water had seeped through the carpet and subfloor. Batten insulation (R-13) was laid across the top of the floor joist and sandwiched between the the floor joist and plywood subfloor during initial construction.
