Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation Virginia
Why do most homes need Vapor Barriers installed?
Especially in Virginia where the ground is incredibly moist. In crawl spaces where the dirt is exposed water vapor from the ground can cause the humidity to increase. When air circulation for the crawl space blows the moisture, mold spores, and pest droppings throughout the crawl space. This creates a vicious cycle that can cause extreme damages to homes as it continues for years and decades. Vance Insulation offers a variety of crawl space vapor barriers services and encapsulation.
