What is a Vapor Barrier
In foundation repairs, we use plastic or foil vapor barriers and install them on the interior surfaces of a crawl space. This process is called crawl space encapsulation. This barrier adds an additional layer of protection, and helps to seal out any moisture in a crawl space.
How to Know if You Need a Vapor Barrier
If your home has a crawlspace and you have issues with high humidity, damp floors, mold, or musty odors, you may want to consider having your crawlspace encapsulated.
Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation
Aside from peace of mind, there are many other benefits of crawl space encapsulation. By installing a vapor barrier, you can significantly reduce the chance of mold and mildew growth. Less humidity throughout the home will allow your heating and cooling systems to run more efficiently. Additionally, you can also prevent pest infestations.
