A vapor barrier is a crucial element in any crawl space, serving to slow or prevent ground moisture from evaporating into the air. It consists of sheeting material installed along the walls and floor of your crawl space, acting as a defense against moisture rising from the soil and entering your living space. Without this protective layer, your home may suffer from musty odors or increased humidity, which can promote mold growth and pose other health risks.
Vapor barriers are specifically designed to prevent damp air from the ground from entering your crawl space and, by extension, your home. This reduction in moisture helps protect pipes, ductwork, floor joists, subflooring, and insulation from damage. At Crawlspace Solutions, we opt for high-performance vapor barriers that provide superior protection against fluctuating temperatures, moisture, and potential water damage.
