Keep Moisture Out
One of the biggest benefits of using a crawl space vapor barrier is that it can help you to keep moisture out of your home and crawl space. Moisture can be bad for your home and for your health, so keeping it out is essential for keeping your family safe.

Crawl spaces are close to the ground, and because of this, moisture can sometimes creep up into the home if there is no barrier. Especially in some climates, there is a lot of moisture in the soil.
A vapor barrier serves as a buffer between the moisture in the soil and your home. Using a barrier, moisture will be diffused and more of it will remain in the soil rather than working its way into your home.

Prevent Mold and Structural Damage
When you have a lot of dampness in your home, mold growth is a common problem. If you don’t have a vapor barrier in your crawl space then mold, mildew, and fungi are more likely to grow.

There is often little ventilation or light in a crawl space so it can be a prime place for this kind of mold growth to occur. Mold can be very harmful to the air quality in your home. It can also lead to structural damage.
When there is a lot of moisture and mold in your home, the wood in your home may experience damage. Much of a home’s structure is built of wood, and it can rot if it’s infected with mold and moisture.

Get Rid of Pests
Another benefit of installing a crawlspace vapor barrier is that it can help you to repel pests from your home and keep them from entering.
Pests such as termites, carpenter ants, rats, and stink bugs love to spend time in a home that has plenty of moisture and water available. Curious animals such as raccoons may also wander into your crawl space and look for a way to get into your home. Unfortunately, it can be a lot easier for them to do it if there isn’t a vapor barrier.

By using a vapor barrier you’ll reduce moisture in your home and crawl space. You’ll also avoid attracting pests that can spread disease, harm your family, or cause structural damage. A vapor barrier can help you keep moisture out, and along with it, bugs and rodents as well.

Improve Energy Efficiency
Another great benefit of a crawl space vapor barrier is that they can help to encourage more energy efficiency in your home. In addition to diffusing moisture, a barrier serves as extra insulation and can help your home retain its temperature more easily.

Installing a vapor barrier can help to keep moisture out and this can have a big impact on your home. Your home will be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This can help you to cut down on energy bills each month and can make it more likely that your home will stay as comfortable as possible.

Create a More Comfortable Home
As a result of this reduction of moisture and increased energy efficiency, a barrier can help you ensure your home is comfortable. The air quality in your home will improve greatly and you’ll breathe easier. You’ll have a much drier home and will improve the living conditions for your entire family.
Having moisture in the air of your home can lead to mold and mildew and can be potentially hazardous to your health. By using a vapor barrier, your air quality will be better, and you’ll be healthier.

This kind of increased comfort will not only help improve your living conditions but can also help in case you sell the home later.
