What Is a Vapor Barrier?
A very important part of the crawl space encapsulation process is the vapor barrier because they are designed to prevent water and moisture from entering the crawl space. Constructed of a high-quality, reinforced resin, our vapor barriers are specifically designed to make crawl spaces completely waterproof and mold resistant. Our foundation contractors in Annapolis install vapor barriers that provide a complete seal as it is laid along the entire crawl space floor and up the walls.
The vapor barrier is the heart of the system that acts as a protective seal closing off all seams of your crawl space from the outside. Sometimes a water diversion system or sump pump may be installed to control the water that enters your crawl space.
American Eagle uses a Santa Fe Dehumidifier in all of its vapor barrier installations in Annapolis. If you want to remove moisture from the air and prevent mold and mildew from growing, then you need a dehumidifier.
