Have you checked the vapor barrier in your crawl space lately? Was it torn or damaged by rodents? Let Environix clean-up the situation for you.
Vapor Barrier is your first line of defense for protecting the longevity of your home from the ground up. If your vapor barrier is torn or damaged, your home is in danger of significant moisture damage, wood rot, or mold damage. In addition, Seattle vapor barriers keep wet soil from causing musty odors in the crawl space or in the home. A high-quality vapor barrier that is sealed and attached to your foundation is not something you want to entrust to the lowest bidder. If you want it done right, and you want the work to be covered under our warranty, call Environix.
