During custom home construction, often new homeowners ask why the builder places black plastic under the concrete slab for their home. In this video, part of the Mondays with Mike series, Design Tech Homes ( [ Ссылка ] ) owner Mike Feigin explains that the plastic creates a vapor barrier, helping to prevent moisture from migrating up from the dirt and creating a wet slab.
Watch the video to find out why your new custom home needs a plastic vapor barrier under the concrete slab, how thick the plastic needs to be, and what happens if this vapor barrier is not installed before concrete is poured.
