Protect your home from the damaging effects of moisture intrusion and rotting.

What is a Vapor or Moisture Barrier?
Vapor and moisture barriers are physical barriers installed in the crawl spaces of pier and beam homes. They prevent the migration of moisture from the ground and, in doing so, protect the home's foundation, beams, and flooring from potential water damage.
Why Do I Need A Vapor or Moisture Barrier?
Installing a vapor or moisture barrier under your home increases your home value and provides several other key benefits.
Protects Structural Integrity
Prevent moisture from seeping into the wooden components of your home.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Your family can breathe easily. Vapor barriers improve the quality of your indoor air by reducing dampness.
Prevents Mold and Mildew
A vapor barrier can help prevent the growth of these fungi, protecting both your home and your health.
Enhances Energy Efficiency
Save money on your electric bills. A vapor barrier can enhance your home's energy efficiency and potentially lower your energy costs.
Protects Insulation
By creating a barrier against water intrusion, you can extend the lifespan and efficacy of your insulation.
Deters Pests
Many pests, including insects and rodents, are attracted to damp environments. A dry crawl space is less appealing to these pests.

Our Process
We start with a thorough inspection of your home's foundation and crawl space. We then create a tailored vapor and moisture barrier plan based on the specific needs of your home.
The installation process involves:
Site Preparation:
We clear the crawl space of debris and level the ground where necessary. This ensures a smooth surface for the barrier installation.
Barrier Installation:
Our team lays down and secures the vapor and moisture barrier, ensuring that it fully covers the ground and is properly attached to the foundation walls.
Sealing:
To maximize effectiveness, we seal all seams and junctions in the barrier material. This includes places where the barrier meets piers, beams, and foundation walls.
Inspection:
Once installation is complete, we perform a final inspection to ensure that the barrier is correctly installed and effectively sealed.
