If the house is designed for it, you can have all equipment (water heater, furnace, etc) in the house utility room or garage - not in the crawl space. The only thing left would be, as you say, pipes.
Crawl spaces can be insulated. Pipes can be insulated. If the crawl space has plastic put down on the "floor", it need not be a damp, dirty place. One or more lights can be installed in it as well.
As to access to it from inside the house, I don't know about that one. There may be rules and restrictions. I suggest you ask a builder. |
