VAPOR BARRIER

Crawlspace Renovations LLC, based in Raleigh, NC, is your premier vapor barrier contractor. Vapor barriers play a crucial role in preventing moisture from seeping into your crawlspace, which can lead to a host of problems including mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. A vapor barrier is usually a plastic poly material that is installed on top of the crawlspace floor, preventing moisture from penetrating the crawlspace air. A vapor barrier is the primary step towards a safe and healthy home.

WHY IS MY crawlspace WET?

Moisture infiltration is one of the primary culprits, leading to mold and mildew growth that not only compromises indoor air quality but also poses serious health risks to you and your family. Common causes include poor drainage, foundation cracks, faulty gutters, hydrostatic pressure from high water tables, plumbing leaks, inadequate sealing, window well problems, sump pump failures, grading issues, and condensation. Identifying the specific cause is crucial for effective prevention and solutions. Regular maintenance and professional guidance can help keep your basement dry and your home secure.
