A typical crawl space can release up to 20-25 gallons of water or more a day in the form of water vapor(every 700 square feet of earth has potential to evaporate 15plus gallons per day). A solid, reliable, and code compliant crawl space vapor barrier is vital. In fact, the vapor barrier truly is the most important component of any crawl space, for the house to function as designed. A vapor barrier is a variable material that covers the soil in your crawl space to help limit the amount of moisture that evaporates out of soil, prevent microbial growth, and protect the home.
Building codes only require a very thin (minimal) .06 mil plastic barrier and lots of air vents in the side of your house to vent moisture. While this sounds nice, it actually can have the reverse effect by letting moisture and cold winter air into your crawl space. A thin plastic or foil barrier, while inexpensive to install, does not protect against the damage caused by standing ground water, moisture from foundation walls, soil gases, mold, rodents and insects, and all the harmful effects that these have on your family and home. There are some upgraded approaches to vapor barrier protect for those that believe it takes more than the minimum to protect their major investments in family health and their homes.
Concrete for Crawl Spaces, a crawl space encapsulation system, will permanently seal out burrowing rodents, minimize or eliminate evaporating moisture, and provide a cleaner and healthier environment for family and home. Whether you are trying to lock out rodents, increase storage space, reduce energy bills, or just seal your crawl space soils the permanent way, crawl space encapsulation with Concrete for Crawl Spaces is the one time solution to your vapor barrier problems.
Perma Dry Waterproofing also offers our Clean ‘n’ Dry Liner system, a heavy gauge .20 mil polyurethane reinforced plastic liner installed to cover all foundation walls and floors. The seamless barrier will lock out moisture, mold, and prevent crawl space odors.
With our upgrade “conditioning” services, you can winterize your crawl space air vents by sealing out cold winter air and moisture. Code compliant .06 mil vapor barriers are only offered through our Crawl Space Drainage service and our Crawl Space Restoration service.
