Moisture barriers are often applied to your attic and crawlspace to protect them from damage caused by high humidity levels. We at Cape Fear Foam LLC apply moisture barriers in the form of spray foam insulation. Here are a few ways that a moisture barrier can protect your home.
- Protection against moisture damage: Moisture can come up from the ground beneath your home and into the crawlspace, causing potential moisture damage and structural issues for the home. Moisture from high humidity in the air can also seep in through cracks or holes and into your attic and cause potential issues there as well. A moisture barrier can help to fill such cracks and gaps and help to create a protective seal against any moisture to prevent any moisture buildup in your crawlspace or attic and prevent moisture damage as a result.
- Protection against excess humidity in the home: High humidity in the home can make it uncomfortable while causing other issues as well. A moisture barrier can help you to have better control over the humidity levels in the home and maintain a more comfortable temperature and air quality as a result.
- Protection against drafts: Cracks or gaps in your attic or crawlspace can also lead to drafts or air leaks that can bring pollen, dust, and pests into your home. A moisture barrier can help to fill those gaps and prevent such drafts and related issues. You may even enjoy cleaner air and improved allergy symptoms as a result.
