VAPOR BARRIERS
VAPOR BARRIER
Does your house smell musty or moldy?
All crawlspaces should have vapor barriers in this humid climate, not only to protect your home’s structural integrity, but also your family’s health and wellbeing. Breathing in that moldy, musty air is not healthy for anyone. A basic vapor barrier, typically made of 6mil black poly material, serves as a cost-effective solution to prevent moisture from the ground, mitigating potential issues in the crawl space.
A VAPOR BARRIER IS A MUST
Every home in Western KY and Southern IL should have at least a vapor barrier. Without one, your home's foundation is in danger and it could lead to costly repairs for mold remediation and structural repair. Think of it as insurance for your home's stability. Installing a vapor barrier is a smart move to keep your house safe and secure for many years to come.
DOES YOUR CRAWLSPACE LOOK LIKE THIS?
It's very common to have debris of all kinds littering your crawl space. But that doesn't make it right!
Did you know that leaving exposed dirt in your crawl space could be your number one culprit for moisture issues that can lead to mold growth? Our process includes a thorough clean-out before laying down the new vapor barrier, ensuring optimal conditions for installation. We also use heavy-duty landscape stakes to securely fasten the barrier in multiple places, paying close attention to high-traffic areas.
This approach is the most budget-friendly option available, addressing immediate issues while taking only the minimum preventive measures necessary to restore the crawl space to good condition. In cases of standing water concerns, we may recommend the addition of a sump pump system to manage excess water effectively and structural repairs for homes with existing issues.
