Vapor Barriers

Vapor barriers are typically installed to reduce dampness in homes, keeping them drier. A thin sheeting in a crawl space, for example, creates a divide between water and your home. Spread evenly across the soil and partway up the crawl space walls, it keeps water in the soil vs in the crawl space. At 5C Energy, we know crawl spaces well and can recommend the appropriate product to minimize dampness creating a dry home.

It’s our job to make sure that your musty crawl space is transformed into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space. Most homeowners aren’t happy with their crawl space environment. And there’s a good reason for that–most crawl spaces don’t offer much to be smiling about. Typical crawl spaces are moldy, foul-smelling spaces that homeowners avoid at all costs. Many of them flood, and they’re often filled with debris. In more extreme cases, they can be rotting structures with rodents, animals, and other pests living within.
