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!

The sump pump carries excess water away from the crawlspace.
