Crawl Space Needs a Vapor Barrier in Toms River, NJ

A business owner in Toms River, NJ called our office and wanted our Contracting team to add a vapor barrier and a dehumidifier to his crawl space. 

First, we removed all the debris and then leveled the ground. Afterward, we installed the vapor barrier, which is a heavy-duty, 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with a polyester-cord reinforcement. It's extremely durable, treated with an antimicrobial to prevent mold, and is installed over the foundation walls and floor to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.

Lastly, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial-grade dehumidifier which directs the extracted water that is pulled out of the air directly into the sump pump. These dehumidifiers are maintenance-free, turn on and off automatically with a built-in hygrometer, and there is no water tray to empty or overflow.
