A properly installed vapor barrier protects your home from ground moisture, mold, wood rot, and poor air quality. At R&M+ Solutions, we install durable, professional-grade vapor barrier systems designed to keep your crawlspace clean, dry, and stable for years.

1. Crawlspace Assessment

Before laying any plastic, we ensure the crawlspace is suitable and safe.

• Measure square footage

• Identify moisture issues or standing water

• Check for wood rot or structural concerns

• Inspect for existing insulation damage

• Document areas needing prep work

2. Site Preparation

A clean, leveled surface ensures the barrier lays flat and performs properly.

• Remove debris, old plastic, and obstructions

• Light grading or smoothing of soil

• Rake out sharp objects that could puncture plastic

• Sweep and clear areas around piers and footings
  (Per your previous preferences, plastic remains only on the ground — not up walls or piers.)

3. Vapor Barrier Installation

We use high-quality, thick poly sheeting designed for long-term crawlspace protection.

• Cut plastic to fit the crawlspace layout

• Overlap seams for a continuous moisture block

• Secure seams with waterproof tape or weighted overlap

• Ensure coverage extends out to edges while staying flat

• Lay plastic around pier blocks without going up the sides

4. Crawlspace Airflow & Vent Check

Proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup.

• Inspect foundation vents for blockages

• Confirm adequate cross-ventilation

• Recommend vent repairs if needed

5. Final Review & Documentation

After installation, we ensure everything is clean and correct.

• Full walkthrough of the crawlspace

• Quality check for gaps, bunching, or loose seams

• Before-and-after photos

• Moisture prevention recommendations
