This Dover home had some serious moisture issues and the homeowners were tired of worrying about not only the health of their home but their health too, so they decided it was time to call crawl space experts!
Our trained inspector, Robert, greeted them at their home and they told him about their worries. Robert then inspected their crawl space to see what the problems were up close. He noted the soil ground being very moist under the useless and unsealed tarp. This also caused the walls to be damp. The excessive moisture caused mold growth on their wood beams and everywhere in their crawl space. Robert also noted their open crawl space vent. It is very important to have these vents closed and sealed during every season because whether it's moisture, cold drafts, or insects.. you don't want any of it entering the space below your feet.
Robert also took a wood moisture content test and found that the wood had a rating of 52%! This rating means that the wood is decaying and would soon fail if moisture was not reduced immediately.
Robert had the perfect solutions to seal out the excessive moisture and all of the problems it comes with! Our CleanSpace encapsulation system utilizes a 20mil thick liner that has 7 layers of polyethylene composition. It is made to reduce moisture in the crawl space and can also lower energy bills! Our crew installed the system, along with our reliable TripleSafe sump pump and IceGuard product!
The homeowners can now enjoy their new peace of mind and extra storage space!

Do-it-yourself solutions are only a temporary fix for cracked concrete. Frontier uses NexusPro sealant.
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. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry. It fits into homeowners' busy lifestyles, too - drying time is a fraction of that needed for other urethane-based caulking products.
Why do you need to seal cracks in your concrete? Rainwater infiltrates and softens the dirt under the slab, causing the slab to sink more- making the crack larger and more of a safety issue as time goes by. Fix it now before the crack gets worse!
Ground settling caused cracks and separation on the customers concrete driveway Our specialist used Polylevel 400 to lift as much as Structure will allow, stabilization guaranteed. Polylevel provides the fill, lift and stabilization for the issue.
Nexus Pro crack repair and joint sealant were used to complete the project.
In Dover, TN, we installed a sump pump system in this homeowner's basement. When installing a sump pump system, our technicians attempt to place it in the lowest area of the basement. This allows water to flow through the perimeter drainage system and directly into the sump pump. Once water is inside the sump pump, it is pumped out through another drainage system that is dug into the yard with a drain at the end. This ensures water is moved out and away from the home.
This customer in Dover, TN called Frontier out to help with a musty and damp crawl space. To control the moisture issues, we cleaned out the crawl space of debris, added Drainage Matting to the floors, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to the walls and floors, a TripleSafe sump pump, sealed the vents, and installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to pull any excess moisture from the air. We also installed an IceGuard and LawnScape system as well.
