Most homes in the Pacific Northwest have dirt floor crawlspaces. With several months of rain each year, moisture may travel through the soil and accumulate in the crawlspace. Excessive moisture can cause damage to the wood in the home’s substructure. Once wet, wood can rot and cause a structural failure. In addition, moisture in a crawlspace may cause mold and mildew which can lead to health problems.
Some homes have an existing vapor barrier that was not properly installed while others have no vapor barrier at all. A properly installed vapor barrier is 6 mil black plastic and covers all the soil in a crawlspace.
