One of the most significant issues facing crawl spaces is unwanted moisture resulting from flooding and water leaks. This moisture can lead to smell, wood rot, degraded insulation, and the growth of mold, mildew, and fungi.
This moisture can provide the perfect environment for pests to move in and begin to destroy the space. Crawl spaces quickly become infested with rodents, animals, and various types of other pests that make their home under your house.
The best way to rid your crawl space of pests, unwanted moisture and stop wood rot and mold growth is by installing a vapor barrier. Installing a vapor barrier is energy efficient and can transform your crawl space from a smelly, moldy area into a dry, clean space that can easily be used for additional storage.

Installing a vapor barrier in your crawl space doesn’t have to be a challenge. We make the installation process fast and simple, so you can feel assured that your home is safe from pests, mold, and moisture.
Step #1: Preparing the Crawl Space – Before we begin, we will need to remove any items in the crawl space that can be transferred out to not be in the way. The crawl space will then need to be cleaned and any holes filled.
Step #2: Measuring the Crawl Space – Once the crawl space is cleaned and repaired, it will need to be measured for specific dimensions to ensure that the barrier installed fits and doesn’t leave room for moisture and pests to creep in.
Step #3: Installing Vapor Barrier and Insulation – When we have the correct fitting for your vapor barrier, we will then install it, along with insulation that helps lower your cooling and heating costs.
Taking care of your house starts from the ground up. Our team is ready to turn your smelly crawl space into a clean area that will increase the value of your home and your time spent in it.
Nobody wants a crawl space collecting mold, moisture, and pests and threatening their family’s health.

Yes! When you buy a home, this is a great time to inspect your crawl space and install a vapor barrier. By installing a vapor barrier early on, you can prevent moisture from building up in your crawl space and prevent some unwanted issues down the road. This can save you a lot of money in the future.
The answer is to install a vapor barrier. Crawl spaces are notorious for having excessive moisture and a vapor barrier has the ability to stop the moisture from entering your crawl space. This can help prevent mold and bacteria from growing and contaminating the rest of your home. When moisture enters your crawl space it can lead to damaged insulation, rotting wood, mold, mildew, and fungi. Additionally, rodents and other types of pests may find a moist crawl space the perfect place to move it and wreak havoc.
Vapor barriers are very effective at keeping unnecessary moisture and water leaks out of your crawl space. Without a vapor barrier protecting your crawl space, you could end up with rotting wood, damaged insulation, foul odors, mold, mildew, and fungi. A vapor barrier can protect your crawl space from a lot of unnecessary damage. Plus, when you hire Attic Projects to install your vapor barrier, all work is insured, and you get a 5-year warranty on your vapor barrier.
If you are experiencing any of the following signs, it means you have a moisture problem that could be solved through installation of a vapor barrier: standing water, respiratory issues, mold/fungi growth, musty odors, rotting, rusting, peeling of paint, or pest infestations.
We doubt that you’ll need us again, but if you do — we got you covered.
