would this work in a crawl space?

Yes, very well. I have used it in a back yard surrounded by concrete block fence, in Nevada, subject to winds, and it works.

It would be difficult to get this sprinkled into a crawl space. It's very effective for the yard. You might try a spray for your crawl space. Lysol spray will kill the odor and kill fleas. If you want a spray designed for animal stool and urine odor in the yard, you might try NaturVet Yard Odor Eliminator. I got that here, too. I've only used it once, so I can't personally recommend it. Good luck!

Forgot to say I am 5'4" tall, and use the 'sprinkle' cover for tight spaces. A large person might have trouble using this in a crawl space.

I think it would be better there than in a yard, where it is virtually useless after about 15 minutes

yes this heater is would work well in your crawl space, since i have installed this in my unfinished basementi have not had a problem with my pipes freezing. This is a very good product.Thanks Kevin

It probably could, but it might be a little low to the floor. The 'legs' it has are more like an X-shaped foot, which allows for stability.

I doubt this would work well in compacted soil like under a walkway. A standard drill would not work. You would need a drill with high torque and an auxiliary handle to keep it from twisting your wrist.

It stays up at my son's house so I'm not sure about how easily it would be on a frequent basis. Since I purchased it I've seen smaller crawl cylinders and tents. I should have bought one of those since there is limited space. They leave the tent up in the dining room.

Certainly in a basement, not certain about the crawl space but probably...we turned our unit to the higher speed and it is 90% humidity where we are in the am and 34% when we return in the late afternoon. We are temporarily in a tiny apt but will run it full time in our house later.

I have it installed in my partial above ground basement in NC. It needs a way to be installed so it can vent outside. One of my neighbors there has it installed in their crawl space.

Absolutely! I have several of them on my shore house in the crawlspace and no problems. The thermostats turn them on and off reliably.

Maybe. You need airtight suction for it to work though. If you can get suction it would work...

I would guess that it would if you hold it close enough to the ground, but do you really want to crawl around swiping every inch of your property? Might be better off with one of those stand up metal detectors like people use for beach combing. Just a thought.

Yes it Will work on your floor as it is fastened in place with screws through the wood, however you do need to have a crawl space as this does not work in a concrete floor. The box comes with a template for cutting a square hole in the floor the proper size for it to fit into. One thing to remember is that this box will sit about 1/4 of an inch above your finished floor when it is installed, but it will allow your plugs to be below floor level. Hope this helps

Hi Mary: I have only used the vent fan to remove damp air from a crawl space. The fan is quiet and worked well for my purpose. You would be better off consulting the mfg or an electrician on the variable speed issue. Some motors can be damaged if run at to low a speed, due to heat build up I think. I would see no need to try and reduce the speed of such a small motor. It is not like it is a 20" exhaust fan moving many cubic or air per minute.I would ask a professional about how to handle Radon and do some online research for information. I know very little about that issue. Good luck. Hi Mary: I have only used the vent fan to remove damp air from a crawl space. The fan is quiet and worked well for my purpose.

Yes - we use in in our crawl space and it works quite well. One of the criteria was the drain pump which we use to drain the dehumidifier into our washer drain which is above floor level.

Maybe if you stored in one room and did not plan on transporting in a vehicle. It's fragile. I recommend the dewalt version. Bought one in a hurry on sale at Home Depot. Would have ordered from amazon but needed one quick because this item fell apart

Yes absolutely! That is exactly what I purchased this product for. Definitely keeps the heat upstairs where it belongs and the cold from crawl space from creeping in. I do have radiant heat in floors, though I do feel it will help keep the cold out even if you do not have radiant, Very easy install as well. Very happy, great product and inexpensive! Highly recommend.

You could MAKE it work but it is intended to be used for an underfloor heat mat with a temperature probe, so you would need to do some heavy modification to it. In other words, as intended, no it will not.

I have never used this in a crawl space in the soil, I use mine on the floor joist at some times to check for water penetration and it worked fine there. I would be concerned that unless it was a solid mud base to stick the pins in it would not read correctly there.
