Does My Crawl Space Need A Vapor Barrier?

For crawl spaces in Nashville, the short answer is yes. A basic vapor barrier installation is a great way to prevent moisture in your crawl space because it covers the floor. If a vapor barrier is insufficient, we recommend additional protection through crawl space encapsulation.

The Benefits Of Installing A Vapor Barrier In Your Crawl Space:

Moisture Control

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends the installation of a vapor barrier as an effective way to control moisture in your crawl space. Installation reduces the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and other moisture-related issues by lowering relative humidity and wood moisture content.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Installing a vapor barrier can help improve the indoor air quality of your home by reducing the risk of mold and wood fungus growth on the exposed floor framing, decreasing the chances of respiratory health problems. Vapor barriers cover the bare soil and rock of your crawl space, virtually eliminating the evaporative effect of moisture.

Energy Savings

By controlling moisture in your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you can reduce the workload of your HVAC system, resulting in lower energy bills and increased energy efficiency.

Increased Home Value

A properly installed vapor barrier can add value to your home by protecting it from moisture-related issues and improving indoor air quality. This can be an attractive feature for potential buyers if you ever decide to sell your home.

  • Now my crawl space is so nice I am able to store some of my nicer things down there. It has opened up much more room for me. Besides that the smells that were coming from down there are gone. Thanks for a great job Jim.

  • I was able to walk inside my house this past winter barefoot thanks to the job Jim and his guys did in my crawl space. I had been suffering from severe allergies and now I am not bothered by them at all and my floor is rather comfortable in the winter and summer.
    MMr. Tommy S.
  • Never thought about actually going into my crawl space before as it is a very yucky place. But after Jim and his crew finished I really did go in there. It is now beautiful, has no odor, no insects, very low humidity and feels rather pleasant down there.
