VAPOR BARRIER BURLINGTON, GREENSBORO, WINSTON SALEM & SURROUNDING AREAS
PROTECT YOUR CRAWL SPACE AGAINST MOISTURE, MOLD, & PEST ISSUES
A vapor barrier is a layer of plastic sheeting installed in the underbelly or crawlspace of your home to prevent excessive moisture from infiltrating your home's living area and protecting wood and other structures from premature rot. When installed properly with the proper ventilation and drainage systems, a vapor barrier will help preserve your home in “tip-top” shape for years.
BENEFITS OF A VAPOR BARRIER
More comfortable living conditions. Your home will not feel damp in the summer and the floors will not be as cold in the winter.
Improved air quality. Vented crawl spaces negatively affect the air inside your crawl space and upstairs.
Mold and moisture control. Installing a vapor barrier paired with a dehumidifier will allow for mold to not have an environment to grow.
Excessive moisture can endanger the structural integrity of your home. Moisture will wick into the wood supporting your home causing rot and ultimately failure of key support systems. Excess moisture is also linked to increased chances of pest infestation such as termites and other insects that can cause damage to your home.
Uncontrolled moisture issues may also contribute to certain health problems. A wet crawlspace is a factor in the growth of mold in your home. Mold has been associated with respiratory problems and allergy related illnesses.
