How Does a Vapor Barrier Prevent Moisture?
A crawl space vapor barrier is a sheet of plastic material that creates barrier through which air can travel, but not moisture. The team at Pinnacle Termite and Pest Service will first clean out the basement, then remove as much moisture as possible. The next steps include treating the wood with anti-fungal, and then covering the area with the vapor barrier to prevent moisture from coming in later. When our team installs a vapor barrier in your East Tennessee home, you'll experience the following benefits:
Reduced chances of wood rot and other structural problems
More control over temperature in your home, which saves you money on energy bills
Eliminate wiring and electrical hazards due to moist conditions
Prevent unwanted critters from entering your home through your crawlspace
