The second largest city in St. Charles County, as well as the county seat, St. Charles is a large city with old roots. This area was first settled in 1765 and was at one point the capital of Missouri. Over the years, many homes have come and gone, with many older homes starting to show signs of decay. Even if you live in a newer home, there are certain dangers that you should be made aware of. Every home, new or old, can experience moisture problems from damp basements or crawl spaces.
It can be difficult to remove moisture and water from a St. Charles crawl space. Crawl spaces are small and are more prone to musty smells and mold from increased moisture. The spread of these smells and the unhealthy mold is quick and can soon start creating problems in other areas of your home.
Once of the easiest methods of protecting your home and crawl space from moisture and water damage is with the installation of a crawl space vapor barrier. A vapor barrier is basically a shield that protects your crawl space from water and moisture.
