FAQ
DIY Game Plan FAQ
Can I encapsulate my own crawl space?
Yes. Crawl space encapsulation is a legitimate DIY project for a reasonably handy homeowner — the work itself (sealing, vapor barrier, vent block-off) doesn’t require a license. The hard part isn’t the labor, it’s knowing what your specific crawlspace actually needs. That’s what the game plan solves: Jason evaluates your space first, so you’re following a plan built for your conditions instead of a generic YouTube tutorial.
DIY vs. professional crawl space encapsulation — what’s the real cost difference?
Professional encapsulation in the Kansas City area typically runs $5,000–$20,000 depending on size and condition. Doing it yourself with a plan built for your space usually runs $1,200–$3,000 in materials — you’re paying for parts, not labor. The tradeoff is your own time and effort instead of a crew doing it in a day or two.
What’s the difference between virtual and in-person?
Virtual means you submit your own photos and measurements, and Jason reviews everything remotely. In-person means Jason comes to your property and does the inspection himself for the most accurate read on your specific crawlspace.
What if I don’t have a moisture meter?
No problem — Jason will point you to an inexpensive one ($15–25 on Amazon) when he reaches out to go over your details. You’ll want one on hand before submitting your photos.
How long does the virtual photo submission take?
About 30 minutes. Jason will walk you through exactly what shots and measurements to send when he calls to go over your details.
What’s actually in the game plan?
A written condition assessment, a step-by-step install sequence for your specific crawlspace (vapor barrier, sealing, insulation, drainage — whatever applies), an exact materials list with quantities, and links to where to buy everything. It’s written so a reasonably handy homeowner can follow it start to finish.
Do I need construction experience to follow the plan?
No special license or trade experience is required — this is written for homeowners. If you’re comfortable with basic DIY projects (and can get in and out of a crawlspace), you can follow the plan. If a section of your job calls for a licensed trade — like electrical near a sump pump — the plan will flag that clearly.
What if the game plan says I need a professional?
Jason will tell you honestly, and explain exactly why and what scope is needed — so you can evaluate any quotes you get, or decide which parts to DIY and which to hire out. KC Crawl Space Specialists is available for the job if you’d like, with no pressure either way.
Do you serve the whole KC metro?
Virtual assessments cover the full metro and honestly anywhere in the US. In-person assessments cover both the Missouri and Kansas sides within about 40 miles of Kansas City.
How do I pay?
No need to worry about that up front. Once Jason’s talked with you and your assessment is on the schedule, he’ll send a simple invoice you can pay online in a couple minutes.
