An inspection revealed mold in the crawl space of this Lebanon home. The family was concerned what effects mold has on the structure of the home as well as their health.
The mold was eating on the wood of the floor joist causing wood rot and softening the joist, creating sagging in the floor.
The air quality of our home is only about 50% better than the air quality of the crawl space. So the family was also breathing in the mold living in the crawl space below.
This Nashville basement is used for living, storage, and utilities. The family had noticed some cracks and bowing of the blocks and knew contrary to popular belief foundation movement was not okay.
A free inspection showed significant hydrostatic pressure against that foundation wall.
The 8ft x 45ft wall needed a little reinforcement.
A load calculator determines the necessary spacing to carry the load of the structure. In all, 9 GeoLock Wall Anchors were spaced approximately 5.5' apart, a little closer in the corner to hold the corner load.
This crawl space in Lebanon Tennessee was scary! There were so many spider webs, the homeowners did not even want to go in themselves and that is when they reached out to Frontier Basement Systems. A design specialist was sent to their home to diagnose their concerns. Together with the homeowners it was decided that a full encapsulation with CleanSpace was the right solution. Our crew went in and cleaned everything out and leveled the earth. The results are a complete change, beautiful!

This home's crawl space started getting worse and worse in the later months of this summer. The crawl space seemed to be staying wet, critters were wandering in and out, the homeowners were dealing with bad allergies, and they were just ready to permanently fix all of their problems.
They called us and were happy with our suggestions, so we got right to work!
Our crew installed:
CleanSpace Drainage Matting
CleanSpace Liner
TripleSafe Sump Pump
LawnScape Outlet
IceGuard
WaterGuard
This whole process is crucial to your health, especially if you have bad allergies from indoor allergens. The moisture that snuck itself inside the crawl space clung to the wood and created mold and mold spores. Remember, 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from the crawl space or basement.. make sure that air is clean and healthy!
