Even though roofs, kitchens and bathrooms are the first thing potential home buyers look at while house-hunting, don't forget to check out what surprises may be lurking within the depths of the crawl space!
This Franklin family are looking to sell their home and they enlisted the expert help from Frontier Basement Systems to ensure that they weren't risking losing $$ dollars on the house sale.
The main source of water intrusion into this home was through the back of the property, the solution in conjunction with a water management system within the crawlspace was to install a length of trench drain to re direct the water around the sides of the house.
With minimal disruption and completely walk-able on, this drain will make a huge improvement.
This concrete pathway had sunken, causing cracks and an unlevel walking surface. Because this home was for sale it was important that no detail be overlooked when prospective buyers are coming to view a property, so levelling the sunken concrete was a necessary step in getting the house on the market.
Polylevel doesn't just lift the slab back into position but stabilizes it as well, filling the void beneath with polyurethane - a waterproof and high strength material.
The back patio of this Franklin home had sank over and inch. The steps to enter the home had become a tripping hazard. The home owner needed a solution to make these entries safe again. PolyLevel is used to lift and level uneven exterior concrete.
The family of this 6 year old home in Franklin TN was worried about mold in the crawl space. They noticed the crawl space was damp and worried how that affected the air quality of the air in the home above. The family had allergies and air quality pays a large part on their comfort in the home.
Sealing and insulating the crawl space to include a 20 mil vapor barrier and a small-in-size, but mighty in capabilities, dehumidifier was installed in the crawl space. With temperature and moisture controlled mold and mildew were no longer a threat to the family.
