What is Vapor Barrier and What Does It Do?
A vapor barrier is a plastic or aluminum sheet installed in your crawl space. It acts as a protective layer, regulating the flow of moisture, and preventing groundwater and rain from entering. Beyond water and moisture protection, vapor barriers provide many benefits, such as improving air quality and protecting the structure of your home.
Vapor barriers are the industry standard for safeguarding your home against moisture and outdoor elements.

Benefits of a Vapor Barrier For a Crawlspace
In addition to keeping out water, installing a vapor barrier provides homeowners with many additional benefits.
Improves Air Quality
The majority of your home’s air comes up through the crawl space. Without a vapor barrier, excess moisture breeds mold, mildew, and harmful gasses. A vapor barrier will reduce condensation and moisture, providing for better airflow and cleaner air.
Prevents Flooding
Since your crawl space is on top of the soil, it is susceptible to infiltration from groundwater and rain. Water in your crawl space causes major issues, so it is important to use a vapor barrier for protection.
Deters Mold Growth
With unwanted moisture and water comes mold. The best way to prevent a mold infestation is to eliminate the conditions it can thrive in – humidity and moisture.
Energy Efficiency
Between 40-60% of your energy efficiency comes from your crawl space. Standing water or damaged insulation disrupts your crawl space’s ability to regulate temperatures, increasing your heating and cooling bills.
