The size of your crawl space directly impacts material costs. For a lower upfront investment, you might consider a vapor barrier; however, keep in mind it may require replacement over time.
Excess moisture in your crawl space can lead to serious issues, from weakened foundation walls and rotting floor joists to musty odors, mold growth, and pest infestations. Not only does this compromise your home’s stability, but it can also impact indoor air quality, putting your family’s health at risk. A crawl space vapor barrier can help prevent these problems. Proper vapor barrier crawl space installation is essential to prevent moisture damage and maintain a healthy home environment.
With over 35 years of experience, Helitech specializes in crawl space waterproofing solutions that eliminate moisture and prevent future damage, ensuring your home remains safe and dry.

Water can enter a crawl space through several pathways, including:
Over time, excess moisture in the crawl space can lead to significant issues like wood rot, weakened support beams, mold growth, and rusted metal. These problems can compromise the structural integrity of your home and even worsen indoor air quality, as crawl space air often rises into the living areas above. If untreated, moisture problems may also attract pests and lead to costly repairs down the road.

The size of your crawl space directly impacts material costs. For a lower upfront investment, you might consider a vapor barrier; however, keep in mind it may require replacement over time.
Full crawl space encapsulation is a smart investment for long-term waterproofing, as it offers much better durability than a vapor barrier. While encapsulation has a higher upfront cost, it provides reliable, lasting protection against moisture and pests, reducing the need for future repairs or replacements. This solution helps maintain a cleaner, healthier crawl space for years, making it a cost-effective choice compared to the recurring expenses of replacing vapor barriers.
Your crawl space may not have the same moisture levels as others. If you’re in a low-humidity area or don’t face major moisture concerns, a vapor barrier might be sufficient. However, in most cases, especially across Helitech’s service area where humidity fluctuates year-round, full crawl space encapsulation generally provides better, longer-lasting protection.
