The accumulation of water and dampness in a crawl space is a very common problem. It is possible for puddles to form on top of a liner if the vapor barrier has been improperly constructed (see photo). It’s natural to assume that having a moist crawl space is typical because it is a below-grade space under the house but the area should always be kept clean and dry to prevent structural damage and poor indoor air quality.
Adding a new barrier to your crawl space is one method of making it more inviting. Plastic that is old and torn has lost its effectiveness; disregard it at your peril.

It is critical to understand that it will not allow moisture to flow through, which is why external wall insulation is required.
Vapor barriers may only be put on the side of a wall that has both high humidity and high temperature.
