Basement & Crawl Space Vapor Barriers

Basement and crawl space walls do not have to be leaking to create moisture problems in your home. Concrete walls, whether block, stone, or poured, allow water vapor to pass through, creating high humidity and or mold. Contact your local waterproofing contractor to place a durable wall covering over the basement walls offering protection against moisture, mold, mildew, humidity, and potential wall leaks.

A low permeability vapor barrier in conjunction with a sealed interior drain system protects your basement against moisture. This moisture can cause mold, mildew, fungus, odors, and poor indoor air quality. Sealing your basement walls not only makes your basement look better but it protects the health of your family.

Finishing Your Basement

If you are getting ready to finish all or part of your basement, a vapor barrier system will protect your investment from moisture and moisture-related problems. There will be no more mold and fungus growing on the drywall, no more effervescence stains on the walls and no longer will you have high humidity levels in your new living space. By maintaining lower humidity levels your new woodwork will be shielded from excessive expansion by your new low permeability vapor barrier.

Finishing your basement adds valuable living space to your home and can become the new meeting place for friends and family. But, if your newly finished basement has water leaks or floods, this new beautiful space becomes a nightmare. Protecting yourself from this nightmare is as easy as contacting a waterproofing professional.
