What we see in Vermillion

The streets around the University of South Dakota hold most of these. Loess and glacial material on the Missouri bluff is permeable, and a dirt crawl under a heated student rental in January is doing exactly what physics predicts. South Dakota requires no landlord disclosure, so nothing prompts anyone to check.

Practical notes for Vermillion homeowners

For landlords, the membrane is a durable improvement rather than a recurring cost, and it addresses the damp-basement complaints that generate maintenance calls anyway.

Crawl Space Systems in Vermillion: the technical part

Rear additions and enclosed porches on older houses near campus are where Vermillion crawl spaces live, and they are usually the least-visited part of a rental property. Access is often through a hatch in a closet or an exterior door hidden behind shrubbery, and in more than one case the tenants had no idea the space existed at all.

What the job looks like in Vermillion

For rental property we schedule crawl work between tenancies where possible, since the access is disruptive and the membrane material has to come through the house. The work itself is durable and needs no maintenance, which is the argument for doing it properly once rather than treating it as a recurring damp problem.

Vermillion in short

University town on the Missouri River bluff, with an unusually high share of rental housing.

Vermillion radon questions

Is this worth doing on a rental?

It addresses the damp complaints that generate maintenance calls as well as the radon, and it is a one-time capital item rather than a recurring cost. Most landlords who do it are pleased.

Will tenants notice the work?

During the day or two it takes, yes. Afterward the only visible change is a pipe and a gauge, plus a lower-level that smells better.
