Greater Little Rock Area: Moisture, fungus and rot... or not? How would you feel if we told you that fungus could be lurking right under your feet? If left untreated, this could cause significant damage in the crawl space areas of your home. The good news? There's a simple solution to prevent a slew of problems!
You may find we're a little old school when it comes to solving these problems...but it works. A vapor barrier is the first and most inexpensive solution. Installing a vapor barrier typically costs around $500 for an average-sized home. If active fungus is found, removal of any batt fiberglass insulation is necessary. Once insulation is removed, all wood within the crawl space should be treated with a fungicide. Then, it's time to install the vapor barrier. This will kill the fungus and make it inhospitable to grow back.
