What is a Vapor Barrier?
A vapor barrier is used to prevent moisture from penetrating your basement from your foundation walls. When preparing to finish your , it protects your insulation and drywall from water damage. In an unfinished basement, it can help control humidity and temperature. Vapor barriers are made of inorganic material, typically polyurethane, meaning they’re mold and mildew-resistant.

It’s a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that’s perfect for unfinished basement walls. With its bright white appearance, it’s a great fix for unsightly walls in unfinished basements.

Vapor Barrier Installation Process
WallSeal installs quickly, with most installations taking a day or less. Once the installation is complete, your basement will be ready to use immediately.

If you don’t yet have a perimeter drainage system installed in your basement, our basement waterproofing experts would be happy to discuss your drainage options with you!
Advantages to Installing WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier
Unlike paint and materials that adhere to the walls, WallSeal™ Vapor Barrier system is mechanically attached to your basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners, so it will never fall off the wall.
Additionally, WallSeal™ will never chip, peel, or flake away from the concrete like paints and sealants will.
WallSeal™ is more than just a wall system — it’s also a great way to cover large boulders or dirt sections of basement walls and floors. If you don’t like your basement the way it is now, but you don’t know what you can do to upgrade it, this is the waterproofing product for you!
