Many Alabama buildings develop foundation cracks over time. These cracks can let in moisture, and develop into bigger problems. They can lead to foundation failure. If not treated, they can become a huge headache. If you try to deal with the cracks in your business by yourself you are probably not as experienced as one should be when working with preventative measures to properly deal with wall cracks.
Most business owners are incorrectly assume that doors, windows, and vents are responsible for all their moisture problems in the home, but that isn’t always the case. You need to factor in humidity, moisture and wetness in your basement is the source and can cause your business’ structural problems. If you’re experiencing excess moisture, chances are your home’s foundation is the cause.

Let the experts at Atlas Piers of Atlanta give you the solution you need for your wet crawlspace. We can do crawlspace encapsulation using a vapor barrier. This vapor barrier will line the entire crawlspace and keep the moisture out. We use a vapor barrier made by Earth Contact Products (ECP), the best in the industry. These vapor barriers are 10-mil and 16-mil thick and puncture resistant. Other vapor retarders are only 6-mil thick and are not puncture resistant. If even a small hole gets into this material, it is useless.
The ECP vapor barrier is manufactured using a triple-ply woven high density polyethylene membrane. It is white in color to brighten your crawlspace and has the highest strength to weight ratio, highest tensile strength, and tear resistance of any product on the market.
