Features of the CrawlSeal™ Liner:
- Heavy 20-mil-thick liner – Similar to a swimming pool liner
- Manufactured in 7 layers – Combination of high-density polyethylene for puncture resistance, low-density polyethylene for flexibility, and polyester cord for reinforcement for brute tear resistance
- White finish brightens the crawl space and makes it easy to see that the crawl space is free of mold, insects, and dirt
- Antimicrobial additive prevents mold from growing on the liner
How a Crawl Space Moisture Barrier Works
A vapor barrier does exactly what its name says: it provides a barrier against water vapor. When warm air comes in contact with a cool surface, condensation forms. When this happens inside the crawl space, the moisture can lead to mold growth, cause wood beams to rot, and attract pests.
A vapor barrier slows or prevents ground water seepage from evaporating into the crawl space air. For a crawl space to stay dry, it’s also important to make sure there’s proper drainage and keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris.
Our Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation Process

- Rocks are removed and uneven surfaces are leveled (depending on condition).
- The CrawlSeal® liner is carefully fitted and installed on the crawl space floor and walls.
