Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Huntsville, AL

This customer in Huntsville, AL, called Frontier to complete a crawl space encapsulation. To start the project, we cleaned out all the debris. Then, we installed our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, followed by the addition of drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We finished this project by installing an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed.

StarPipe Crawl Space Drainage System

StarPipe is a custom-engineered drainage system for crawl spaces. StarPipe's custom design has slots on each side, providing a drainage track on the bottom. StarPipe's unique star shape holds the fabric sleeve in place to prevent dirt from entering drainage slots.

Drainage Matting Installed

Drainage matting forms a permanent seal for leaking crawl space floors.

Piers Wrapped

Piers are wrapped in CleanSpace poly to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.

Vents Sealed

Crawl space vents are sealed with SilverGlo panels and spray foam insulation. Forming an airtight seal so no outside air can enter.

CleanSpace Installed

One key ingredient in our encapsulation system is the CleanSpace vapor barrier, a super-durable 20-mil plastic sheet designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space.

Air Leaks Sealed

Sealing your crawl space air leaks stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

A TripleSafe® Sump Pump System (shown here), combined with a SaniDry® dehumidifier, represents the ultimate in crawl space waterproofing and humidity control.

Encasulation Complete

The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.

IceGuard System

Water escapes from the IceGuard fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe.
