Crawl Space Vapor Barriers

Crawl spaces are a common feature in many homes, but they can become damp and humid if not properly protected. A crawl space vapor barrier is a great way to keep the humidity from getting too high and creating an unhealthy environment in your home. The vapor barrier works by trapping moisture that would otherwise seep into the crawl space and create mold, mildew, and other health hazards. It also prevents outside air from entering the crawl space, which can cause condensation on walls and floors that can lead to structural damage. Investing in a good quality vapor barrier will help ensure your family’s health as well as protect your home from costly repairs due to water damage.

A vapor barrier covers the floor of a crawl space with plastic sheeting and they can reduce up to half of the moisture that may be in your crawl space.

Crawl space encapsulation is a process of completely sealing off a crawl space from the environment to prevent moisture and humidity from entering. During this process, a vapor barrier is installed to the walls and floor of the crawl space, which acts as an additional layer of protection against moisture and humidity. This technique can help protect your home from mold growth, reduce energy costs, and improve air quality. Additionally, it can also help extend the life of your HVAC system by reducing the amount of strain on its components. By investing in crawl space encapsulation, you can ensure that your home stays dry and comfortable for years to come.

Crawl space vapor barriers are durable membranes, usually polyethylene,  that work by preventing the infiltration of water vapor into the crawl space. They range in thickness between 6mm and 20mm.

The simplest form will cover at least the floor of the crawl space with the edges of the material overlapping.
