Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Madisonville, KY

A customer in Madisonville, KY, discovered standing water pooling in their crawl space. They called Frontier for waterproofing solutions. Our crew installed a StarPipe drainage line, drainage matting, and a full CleanSpace encapsulation liner to keep groundwater out. We added a TripleSafe sump pump for high-volume water extraction and backed it up externally with an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage exit. To ensure the space remains bone-dry year-round, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and secured the entryway with a brand-new, airtight crawl space door.

StarPipe Installation

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.

How The StarPipe Works

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.

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.

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.

The SaniDry Sedona

As a high-efficiency dehumidifier, the Sedona removes more moisture (100 pints per day) for less electricity cost than conventional models.

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.

Crawl Space Sealed

Crawl space sealing and insulation will help you avoid unnecessary repairs, create a healthier living space, and save money on your utility bills. And once you've encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you've gained valuable storage space in your home.

LawnScape Installed

LawnScape is a pipe buried from the downspout to a special LawnScape outlet that lets the water out onto the surface while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning. LawnScape is best used for downspout extensions over 8' long.

IceGuard Installed

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