Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Huntsville, AL

This customer in Huntsville, AL, called Frontier for multiple issues. One of the issues was a foundational wall failure; we addressed this with our PowerBrace system. Once the wall was stable, we tackled the next issue: moisture and poor insulation in the crawl space. To fix this, we completed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation, including SilverGlo insulation panels on the crawl space walls. Now, this customer has a stable crawl space, free from moisture and water damage, and no longer has cold floors.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed. The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.

Wall Failure

When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to collapse!

The PowerBrace System

The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time.

Wall Stabilized

These steel i-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug after the crawl space is cleaned out to make room for the StarPipe crawl space drainage system.

StarPipe Crawl Space Drainage System Installed

StarPipe™ is designed to be an easily installed conduit to accept water from the soil and surface of perimeter walls of your crawl space and drain to a sump system, allowing the water to quickly evacuate from the crawl space.

The SaniDry Sedona

Mold and mildew are common in crawl spaces, but the Sedona keeps the relative humidity below 55%, so mold won't stand a chance. As a high-efficiency dehumidifier, the Sedona removes more moisture (100 pints per day) for less electricity cost than conventional models.

Drainage Matting is Installed

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

TripleSafe Sump Pump

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your crawl space and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

SilverGlo Insulation Panels

We install high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation against the crawl space walls. SilverGlo™ does what fiberglass can't: stop air leaks, never lose R-value, and never absorb or be damaged by moisture.

Crawl Space Insulated

If you have an uncomfortable home, cold floors, or moisture problems in your crawl space, we have a solution. Our innovative crawl space insulation solutions will ensure that you have a more comfortable, energy efficient home.

CleanSpace Liner is 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.
