A moisture barrier is typically installed under a home in situations where moisture from the ground or surrounding environment can pose a threat to the structural integrity.
Common reasons to install a moisture barrier:
Preventing Moisture Infiltration
Essential in areas with high moisture levels to prevent issues like mold, rot, and structural damage.
Protecting Insulation
Safeguards insulation, maintaining effective temperature control.
Extending Structural Lifespan
Increases the longevity of wooden components by minimizing moisture-related damage.
Improves Energy Efficiency
Moisture barrieres help regulate indoor temperatures by keeping excess humidity out, which reduces the workload on your heating and cooling systems - ultimately lowering the energy cost.
