Vapor Barrier Installation
A vapor barrier is a key component to defend your home from excessive levels of moisture, humidity and mold growth. Each day, ground water evaporates and rises due to the stack affect. This rise of water vapor penetrates the wood structure within the crawlspace, while raising the relative humidity within the crawlspace and throughout your home.
StarDucts Crawlspace Enhancement installs the highest quality of vapor barriers (also referred to as a moisture barrier) installation. Our vapor barriers options range from 12-20 mil in thickness and are all string reinforced, made from 100% Virgin material, right here in the United States.

Are your foundation walls uncovered?
-
Is your vapor barrier a thin, or clear material?

Reduce your Chances of Experiencing Mold Growth in your Crawlspace!
