Crawl Space Vapor Barrier for Henderson homeowners
Plenty of crawl spaces around Henderson still have bare dirt floors, or a thin sheet of plastic that was tossed down decades ago and has since torn, bunched up, or disappeared under debris. In this humid corner of Houston County, uncovered soil is a steady source of water vapor rising straight into the framing.
You can feel it in the house. Floors feel clammy in July, closets smell stale, and wood trim swells in the summer. Under the house, the dirt looks dark and cool even after weeks without rain, because the clay layer below the sandy topsoil keeps feeding it.
A real vapor barrier is thick, reinforced polyethylene rolled over the whole ground surface, overlapped and taped at every seam, and fastened up the piers and walls so vapor cannot sneak around the edges. We clear old plastic and trash first so the new liner lies flat. Henderson homeowners get photos, a written price, and a free inspection before any work is scheduled.
Our crawl space vapor barrier scope is the same on every Henderson home, whatever the Houston County ground turns out to be doing.
