Crawlspace Moisture Solutions
Moisture is one of your crawlspace’s worst enemies. It can cause the infestation of pests such as termites and other problems. Vapor barriers are an effective way to protect your crawlspace from moisture. While several types of vapor barriers are available, deciding which is best for your situation can be challenging. That’s where we come in. We can help you understand more about moisture and vapor barriers.
How to know when to replace your vapor barrier
If you already have a vapor barrier, it’s important to inspect it regularly for damage. If you notice the following signs, it may be time for a replacement barrier:
- Your barrier is not covering 100% of the crawlspace floor
- Your barrier is outdated.
- There are holes or tears in your existing barrier.
- You have a pest infestation, such as mice or insects.
- You notice areas of standing water, moisture in your home or condensation in your windows.
- Your air conditioner seems to be working harder than it should.
- It’s more humid than it should be in your home.
- There are noticeable musty smells throughout your home.
If you notice these issues and your home feels warm and moist after every rainfall, you should consider installing a new moisture barrier.
