Why you need Ground Moisture Barrier?

On average 250ml of water evaporates from each 1m² of ground in 24 hours – that’s 60 litres a day for a 150m² house. This moisture getting into your home causes rot, mould, mildew and affecting health.

A great way to reduce moisture levels is to install a ground moisture barrier (also known as on ground vapour barrier). This polythene sheeting will restrict the evaporation of moisture from the ground into the subfloor space. Download our ground moisture barrier factsheet here.

Installing a vapour barrier, also known as an onground moisture barrier on the ground under your house will keep the moisture in the ground and stops the air under the floor from getting damp.

Ground moisture barrier is 250 micron polythene sheeting that is at least 0.25 mm thick and covers the ground under a house.

For the vapour barrier to be effective, quality installation is key.

• any leaks from water or waste pipes, wet areas, cladding and so on must be dealt with before the moisture barrier is laid
• check there is no surface water flowing under the building – rain should drain away from the house
• the ground under the house should be shaped so no surface water accumulates on top of the vapour barrier
• the vapour barrier should completely cover the soil & be butted up to surrounding foundation walls and piles
• the sheets should be weighted down to avoid being moved by the ventilating air movement
