Re: Vapor Barrier Needed?
I apologize if I offended anybody with my description of what a slab foundation is capable of related to women’s hygiene products.
However, let's take another example. You ever notice when a newspaper is left on your lawn for any length of time and when you pick it up it's all wet where it was in contact with the grass?
Or, how about when you stand on the sandy beach and after a couple of minutes you move your foot and where your footprint was fills with liquid?
This is a natural phenomenon and slab foundation are notorious in drawing moisture from the soils.
