Benefits of Vapor Barriers
Mold growth within a home is related to moisture accumulation, often in areas like basements, crawl spaces, and attics where leaks are more likely to occur. Homes that have a crawl space often develop a musty smell because of the damp, dirt floor. Installing a vapor barrier seals moisture out and prevents this odor from entering the rest of the structure. You may benefit from this service if you experience:
- Standing water or mud in your crawl space, especially after rain
- High tested radon levels in the home
- Peeling paint on the exterior of the structure
- Mold and mildew growth in the lower level of the home
- Insect or rodent infestations
- Respiratory or allergic symptoms
