Raleigh Crawl Space Moisture Solutions
Most homeowners make the mistake of assuming that a vapor barrier is enough to prevent crawl space moisture from collecting and causing damage. In reality, a simple vapor barrier may not be enough to protect your home from the extreme temperatures and humidity that characterize North Carolina weather. That is why Crawl Space and Basement Technologies provides Raleigh area residents with custom crawl space moisture control solutions based on your individual home.
How Do Vapor Barriers Work?
You might be surprised to learn just how much moisture naturally occurs in your home’s air. Taking a shower, using the washing machine and even breathing can add moisture to the air. When your home is properly sealed to prevent the transference of heat, the moisture also becomes trapped. This moisture will then start to condense and be absorbed by drier surfaces. Typically, this means your insulation becomes damp, which not only reduces is efficiency, but also allows for mold growth.
Vapor barriers work to prevent crawl space moisture by creating a protective barrier that covers the insulation. The water is then forced to find another way out of the house and isn’t able to cause any damage. This crawl space solution is most effective in colder climates, such as the northeast and Canada, but the hot and humid air that characterizes Raleigh, North Carolina, can sometimes be too much for a vapor barrier to handle.
Is a Vapor Barrier Right for My Raleigh Home?
For homes that rely on air conditioning during the summer months, a vapor barrier may only provide a temporary solution. If a vented crawl space is only protected with a vapor barrier, then humid air from the outdoors can still enter. Without a crawl space sealant, this moist, dirty air is then pushed through the rest of the house by the HVAC system. This means that infectious mold spores are effectively blown throughout the interior of your home. Inhaling mold can have serious health consequences, especially for those who already have respiratory problems.

From my first call to Progressive’s office, my conversation with the electrical manager, through the end of the job when all was done, Progressive did a great job for me. They were very professional, friendly, and flexible. The work was to relocate receptacles and switches from a wall that was being removed from our house, and also to add receptacles to another room. They sent two men who had to spend several hours both under and in our house. I recommend them highly and will use them again.

Brian performed maintenance check on the HVAC (I hope I used the correct term). His visit was just a few days we experienced unusually cold weather in mid-October. He was very helpful by providing answers to my questions. He also explained things that I was not aware of. I did not like the programmable thermostat and he replaced it with a simple thermostat which I understood much better than the programmable. I now feel much more comfortable after he inspected the system.

I had Progressive install a new tankless water heater. The technicians name was Larry and his helpers name was martin. They were both very polite and their work looks very neat. We are very happy with our new tankless heater.

We have had our HVAC replaced by this company and have a current service contract and loved them.Darryl who worked with us was great. The greatest part of the company though is how attentive, helpful, and responsible Kat was! She was constantly available and providing any assistance we needed.
