This customer in Manchester, TN called Frontier when they noticed cracking on the interior of their home and sagging floors. These issues were due to moisture issues in the crawl space. To mitigate these issues and stop them from progressing, we decided on a full crawl space encapsulation. This includes removing all the debris and cleaning out the crawl space, installing Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner on all the floors and walls, a TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, SilverGlo panels to seal the vents, and a drainage system including IceGuard and a LawnScape system that will drain all the water out of the crawl space into the yard far from the structure. Now this crawl space is clean, dry, and healthy!
A homeowner in Manchester, TN, reached out to Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for basement waterproofing. A key component of this process is installing a sump pump system, which is positioned in the lowest part of the basement. Water is directed into the sump pump through the WaterGuard drainage system or the DryTrak monolithic floor drain. The sump pump then pushes the water through a discharge line that carries it safely away from the home. To install the discharge line, a small trench is dug outside the basement, the line is placed inside, and the trench is covered with dirt, leaving only the drainage outlet exposed.
This homeowner had a large unsightly crack in their walkway. They reached out to Frontier for a lasting solution. Needless to say, Frontier did a great job!
This Kentucky home had an unpleasant looking porch that had shifted and became uneven. This created not only an eyesore and cracks but also a tripping hazard. The homeowners knew they needed to find a permanently fix before anything got worse and the value of the home decreased.
They called us and we knew exactly what to do!
We started by leveling the concrete slab porch with PolyLevel by injecting the foam below the concrete. PolyLevel's lightweight makes it useful where denser fill material might impose an undesirable load on weak soils. Despite its lightweight, PolyLevel can support substantial loads; it typically provides greater lifting power than mudjacking.
After lifting the slab, it was time to seal the cracks to make sure no more water infiltrated the cracks. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry! NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.
The homeowners now have a safe and great looking front porch!
This crawl space had a bad moisture problem that led to weakened, moldy supporting beams. Our crew installed our SmartJack Stabilizers to lift the beams up and restore the floors above to their even level.
Our EverLast Crawl Space door was also a necessity in keeping moisture OUT of their space!
Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. An air and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weatherstripping that comes with each EverLast™ door. Once you tighten down the installation knobs, you can feel confident that the interior of your crawl space is protected and fully isolated from exterior critters and conditions.
