Vapor Barrier Installation

At Zhe Industries, we recognize the critical role that a dry, mold-free crawl space plays in the overall health and structural integrity of your home. A damp or moist crawl space not only attracts mold, fungus, and mildew but can also lead to wood damage and structural issues that extend far beyond the crawl space. This is why it’s vital to install high-quality vapor barriers in your crawl spaces.

Why Vapor Barriers are Essential

Crawl space water and humidity can be more than just a minor inconvenience; they can cause significant damage to your home and pose serious health risks. To combat this, vapor barriers are an effective solution that can seal out moisture, ensuring the longevity and health of your home.

At Zhe Industries, we specialize in professional vapor barrier installations designed to keep your crawl space dry and protected. Drawing from industry-leading practices, we offer a moisture barrier system that ensures the structural integrity and overall health of your home.

Understanding Vapor Barriers

A vapor barrier is a heavy-duty plastic sheet that covers the walls and floors of crawl spaces. This liner effectively manages excessive moisture and protects against water vapor permeation. By preventing mold growth, wood rot, and pest invasions, a vapor barrier serves as a comprehensive solution for maintaining your home’s health.

Top notch work. They go above and beyond, doing more than necessary to meet the standard.
The team did a fantastic job—efficient, professional, and very affordable. My attic looks great! Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality work at a fair price!
We were so impressed with Zhe Industries. From the time they came out to give us an estimate to the completion of the project, they were responsive, clear, and thorough. Our attic needed a lot of work including cleaning, replacing all the insulation, sealing, and improving the ventilation. They took extra steps to ensure their work area was sealed, and when they left you couldn’t even tell they had been here because of how well they cleaned up. It can’t be an easy job, but the guys that came out worked non-stop to see it through in one day, all while being so positive when we acknowledged how hard they had worked. Our attic looks incredible and we really appreciated their expertise on everything. I can’t recommend them enough!
Work was professionally done and well explained. Price is very good for all the service that you get. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get their insulation replaced.
I had Zhe Industries replace the insulation in my attic and do air sealing. They also pointed out a couple problems, like bathroom fans that weren’t vented correctly, and handled those repairs too. Just being able to go into my attic and not feel like I'm itching has made this all worth it. The crew was professional and respectful, and they explained what they were doing as they went which I appreciated. They’re easy enough to work with and stand behind their work. I had them do my parents’ house first and then mine, and both times the results came out solid. Highly recommend, Brian and his crew know what they're doing.
I don't even know where to start, other than saying, I HIGHLY recommend Zhe Industries! Extremely professional, on time, great communication, respectful and the list goes on. The process from beginning to end was a joy. Even the little details like being asked if they can park in our driveway, to no smoking on the job to avoid smells, to laying down tarp on all surfaces they will be walking on, went such a long way. We recommend this company to anyone looking for services. The finished job is also amazing. It is currently hot and sunny outside and our upstairs AC is actually keeping up with the set temperature and feels great! It used to never keep up, run non-stop, and feel hot/humid on the second floor. We are thrilled and extremely happy. Thank you Zhe industries to everything!
These guys crushed it. Top of the line work for an attic in terrible shape!
My home was built in 1988 when little attention was given to attic insulation and sealing. My power bill was over $700 for a 3200 sqft home. I had to do something. Brian with Zhe Industries came out and presented a complete solution at an excellent price that has now more than doubled the R-value of my attic and cleaned it up improving the air quality within my home. He had a very polite and professional 5 person crew come out for two days. They vacuummed out all of the old insulation and nasty stuff that attics tend to accumulate over the years, sealed all of the electrical and HVAC penetrations in the framing and drywall, replaced the attic vent fan, checked the HVAC duct system for leaks with a thermal camera and sealed where needed, replaced the attic decking with one that has a thermal barrier applied, sprayed sanitizer and odor eliminator in the entire space, installed baffles along the attic platform so that the insulation can be full height up to the platform, installed baffles for air flow at my eve vents, and then blew all new insulation.There was an amazing amount of work done for the price and time it took. It was permitted, inspected, and passed the first time by the city of Virginia Beach and warrantied by Owens Corning for 80 years. The whole process was very easy and professional. I would highly recommend Zhe Industries!
From the time we first reached out to Zhe Industries for a quote we felt like we were in good hands. Every member of the company we worked with was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The price was very fair for the services we were quoted, and they were open and transparent throughout the process. But most importantly, they were able to work with us when we were faced with some unforeseen circumstances. I would recommend this company and use them again in the future based on the quality of service for the price we would have received and there outstanding customer service!
They did an amazing job with our attic. The price was very fair, and they worked incredibly fast. I’m very lucky to have found this team.
