Crawl Space Repair - Unsealed 6mil Vapor Barrier

At new construction a 6-mil vapor barrier is laid on the crawl space floor. It is often staked into the ground to hold it in place. However, this barrier is not sealed, and the stakes holding it in place just create more holes for moisture from the earth to find its way into the crawl space. In addition, the 6mil vapor barrier is easily ripped and displaced by critters, rodents, or service persons.
