Protect Your Property from Moisture

Excess moisture is a common hazard for all types of properties. Moisture from leaking pipes or standing water in your crawl space can cause serious and costly problems. It is important to address it immediately. Here are some of the most common effects of too much moisture:

  • Mold and mildew: These are fast-growing microorganisms that like moist and dark places.
  • Wood rot: Rot can result from wood structures being weakened by persistent humidity or damp surfaces.
  • Pest Infestation: Standing water attracts insects, which can lead to additional structural problems.
  • Mold Risks: Mold growth can contaminate indoor air, lead to respiratory or contact illnesses, and structural damage to wood, plaster, drywall, insulation, and more.

How a Vapor Barrier Fits into Crawl Space Encapsulation

A vital part of crawl space encapsulation is a vapor barrier. Encapsulation creates a dry, clean, and regulated environment beneath your home by securing the crawl space from the outdoors. By covering the ground and walls, the vapor barrier functions as the fundamental layer, preventing moisture from leaking in via the foundation and soil. Encapsulation wouldn't be complete without a vapor barrier, which is a moisture-blocking wrapping that keeps the crawl space free of mold, wood rot, and excessive humidity.
