My hygrometer is showing blank lines, what should I do?

We often provide a hygrometer free of charge to allow customers to monitor the humidity levels in their crawl space. The Thermapro 60 comes with a remote sensor located in your crawl space as well as an indoor display.

The most common reason that your hygrometer is showing blank lines is that the batteries need to be replaced in either the remote unit in the crawl space or the display unit or both! Triangle Crawl Space Solutions is happy to do this during our annual maintenance visit but many homeowners elect to replace the batteries themselves.

We normally mark the location of the remote sensor with a brightly colored piece of survey tape to make it easy to find but it should be located either on a floor joist or a pier in the crawl space. Changing the batteries is simple and most of the time the unit will reconnect to the display automatically but if you need further assistance, check out this video from ThermaPro or give us a call!

Why am I getting a strong odor after sealing my crawlspace?

Odors are one of the hardest things to predict or identify causes for. In a small percentage (less than 5%) of homes, we encounter a very strong smell (often described as cat urine) after installation of a vapor barrier. It is impossible to predict which homes this may affect but the smell is caused by microbes and that live in the soil. When the crawlspace is sealed these microbes die and begin to decay under the vapor barrier and in some homes this odor can enter the crawl space.  In some cases this odor may be temporary but in others it can be more persistent. The solution is to install a exhaust fan under the vapor barrier to create a negative pressure and pull these odors outside of the home.
