A nasty, wet crawl space can cause major concerns for the rest of the home. As water vapor in the crawlspace evaporates, it creates a high level of humidity in the air, which can damage the wood structure and cause mold growth. Over 60% of the air in a home comes from a crawlspace, so musty moldy smells in the crawlspace can be a sign of a moisture issue. The experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair have a solution! with the vapor barrier which has been proven to protect against water seepage, air leaks, water intrusion, and more. By sealing off a dirt crawl space, the entire structure can be better protected while also creating a clean and secure storage area! By adding crawlspace installation, we can further protect home health, energy-efficiency, and value. It starts by insulating and air sealing rim joists, as the perimeter zone can be a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Then we add high performance Foamex board wall insulation, which resists water absorption, mold growth, and water infiltration!
