Frequently Asked Questions About Crawl Space Doors
Crawl space doors need to follow a number of guidelines for maximum benefit. What do you need to know about these important openings?
Especially if you have a crawl space opening from the outside of your home, you should make sure you have a durable and tight-fitting crawl space door. This makes sure that moisture stays out of your crawl space, but that any crawl space repair experts can make their way inside for inspections.
The International Residential Code recommends that openings for crawl space access must be at least 18 by 24 inches if the entrance exists in the floor of the house, or 16 by 24 inches if the entrance exists in the crawl space walls. However, local legislation may have its own requirements that contradict these codes.
The cost of replacing your existing crawl space door may vary tremendously depending on many factors. You may need to consider the existing crawl space door, any crawl space damage you already have, and why you’re replacing the door. An inspection is the first step toward an accurate cost estimate.
Installing a crawl space door can be a confusing and difficult process for people who don’t know how to do it. It’s vital that you install your crawl space door properly, so don’t do it on your own. Schedule an inspection with a JES crawl space expert to learn more about your options.
