To make it easy for our Knoxville homeowners, Guardian Foundation Repair proficients have outlined the key differences between the vapor barrier and crawl space encapsulation to help you decide the best solution for your home. 

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is the typical process of sealing off your crawl space from the outside environment. This is done by installing a vapor-tight barrier on the ground and walls of your crawl space and sealing any openings, such as vents, pipes, and wires. This will create a dry, controlled environment isolated from the outside world. 

The main benefits of crawl space encapsulation are:

• Reduces moisture and mold growth
• Eliminates musty odors
• Improves indoor air quality
• Saves energy by stabilizing temperature and humidity
• It controls pests and insects from entering your home

Vapor Barrier

A vapor barrier is a material placed on the ground of your crawl space to prevent moisture from passing through. Vapor barriers are made of different materials, such as polyethylene sheeting, that block moisture but allow vapor to pass through. This allows the space to "breathe" while preventing moisture from entering.

The main benefits of a vapor barrier are:

• Maintenance of indoor air quality
• Reduction in energy costs
• Elimination of musty odors
• Stabilization of humidity levels
• Controlling the growth of mold and mildew

We believe our crawl space encapsulation, Tennessee, and vapor barriers are essential to protecting your home. Both products keep your home dry and provide other benefits that improve indoor air quality.
