Waterproofing Vapor Barrier Encapsulation In Clarksville, Tennessee Barrier Waterproofing
A homeowner in Clarksville, Tennessee had his crawl space encapsulated a number of years ago. He was fully aware of the importance of having it serviced so that it would remain dry and clean. Unfortunately, during
a home inspection prompted by the homeowner putting the home up for sale, it was discovered that the vapor barrier that been installed was compromised. A section that had been sealed off poorly was now letting the surrounding ground water into the crawl space. We received a call with an inquiry about replacing the plastic sheeting in his crawl space with a thicker, higher quality vapor barrier lining and ensuring there was a complete waterproof seal.
The local Barrier Waterproofings took a trip to his home the next day and took a look around. They began to remove all of the plastic sheeting at once, breaking down the now dry and brittle material that had been previously installed. Once the material was removed, the crawl space was looked over once more for the presence of any additional issues. Thankfully everything else was clear, so the installation was then completed. The seals were all tested for maximum strength, and the homeowner requested information regarding the difference in quality of the plastic liners he had purchased. It was explained that, as is the case with some companies, the quality of the liner that is used is compromised in order to cut corners on their cost, and can shorten the lifespan of the encapsulation overall by quite some time. Another job well done!
