Keeping moisture out of your home can seem like a constant battle, but it is a very important thing if you want to keep your home for a long time. Moisture intrusion can do all kinds of damage to your home, and it can harm your health as well as the structure of the home. The protection against moisture intrusion starts from the bottom up. Your home should have vapor barriers installed that will prevent moisture intrusion. Vapor barriers come in several different forms. They could be made from polyethylene plastic sheets, paper, or even paint. No matter which type of vapor barrier it is that you have, it is very important that the coverage is complete. A rip in a plastic sheet or a patch of missed paint will both have the same effect. They will allow water to intrude into your home and lead to issues.
The paint is usually in the form of a primer, letting you paint over it with the paint of your choice.
