Crawl Cap Vapor Barrier Liner
CRAWL SPACES ARE EASY TO CREATE AND SAVE MONEY
DURING CONSTRUCTION. THEREFORE, MANY BUILDERS
SIMPLY BUILD HOUSES THE SAME WAY THEY’VE ALWAYS
DONE IT. SOME BUILDERS MIGHT INCLUDE CHEAP
PLASTIC SHEETING, BUT THIS DOESN’T PROTECT YOUR
HOME. COMMON PLASTIC SHEETING QUICKLY DECAYS,
CRACKS, AND DOESN’T STOP DAMAGING MOISTURE AND
NASTY ODORS FROM ATTACKING YOUR HOME.

HOW YOUR CRAWL SPACE BECOMES A PROBLEM
Did you know that 50% of the air you breathe comes from the lower
level? Dirt crawl spaces allow moisture vapor to rise up from the dirt,
introducing many problems into your home.
Plus, open vents allow energy-depleting outside air into the home. In
summer, this air can carry dampness and humidity.
This is all part of the Stack Effect. As air warms it rises naturally,
carrying with it all the spores, moisture, and odors up from the crawl
space and into the rest of your home.
