Many homeowners think that because their home was built on a dirt crawl space that it will not negatively impact the rest of the structure. Environmental moisture will eventually saturate in the crawlspace causing wood rot and mold growth. By adding the vapor barrier, we can isolate the crawl space from the rest of the home while also protecting it from water leaks, moisture seepage, unsafe contaminants, and more. As an added benefit, the vapor barrier also seals the below-grade space, transforming it into a clean and secure storage space!
This nasty dirt crawl space was had severe moisture issues even though there was a black plastic vapor barrier covering the dirt crawlspace floor. Installing a barrier between the dirt crawl space and the home can prevent groundwater leaks, water seepage, moisture, mold growth, and other damage. However, if it is a barrier that is not sealed up to the walls, it will gravely underperform, still allowing water and moist air to penetrate the space and cause damage to the wood under the home. By adding our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the waterproofing specialists at Lowcountry Foundation Repair were able to transform this crawl space into a clean moisture-controlled space, protecting it against moisture seepage and humidity. Combined with our foamax board crawlspace wall installation, we further boosted home health and energy-efficiency by providing an additional barrier to hold in conditioned air!
