The final step of encapsulating a crawl space is ensuring all that water and moisture we fought so hard to keep out of your crawl space is kept out, this is done by installing an airtight door. The door is installed from the inside and it looks much better than the old one!
These homeowners in Russellville Kentucky were struggling with their crawl space and a musty smell, concerned they contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a solution. A design specialist was sent to their home to address their concerns. Together with the homeowner it was decided that a full encapsulation of their crawl space was the right solution for this home. CleanSpace is what we use as a vapor barrier and is 20-mils thick and designed to keep water and moisture out of a crawl space.

This customer in Russellville, KY wanted to keep their garage safe from water intrusion issues. We installed TrenchDrain around the entire perimeter of the building to prevent water from entering, this is sometimes the best solution for a detached garage.
The homeowners had problems with mold growth and a mildew smell lingering in their living quarters. They were very concerned about the health of their home and decided to call an expert immediately. They took advantage of our free inspections and estimates and called us!
Our inspector inspected their crawl space, took moisture tests, and reference photos. Their problem was the moisture coming from their unsealed soil ground. The water inside the soil had been evaporating into their homes and causing mold to grow. This can lead to serious and expensive foundation problems down the road!
