Crawl space vapor barriers are durable membranes that work by preventing the infiltration of water vapor into the crawl space. These barriers are typically thick plastic materials that are installed across the soil to prevent ground moisture from ever entering the space at all.

An Advanced Energy study conducted found a 15 percent annual energy savings in homes and buildings where crawl spaces were sealed, indicating a drastic reduction in moisture, resulting in easier to control temps indoors.

The condition of your crawl space is very important. Flooring and insulation alone aren’t enough to protect your home. Damp air encourages mold growth.

The average moisture barrier only lasts 5 to 10 years. Eventually, a vapor barrier starts to break down and deteriorate.

A vapor barrier is important for a couple of reasons. The air in your crawl space enters your home. Your home is made of porous materials, such as wood, concrete and fiberglass insulation. Also, in part, the air in your HVAC unit circulates air from your crawl space into your home.

Problems in your crawl space can enter your home. This is especially problematic if someone in your home is managing a respiratory condition.

After we install a new Vapor Barrier, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in air quality, the air will feel less humid, and any musty orders will dissipate.
