Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Franklin, TN

This customer in Franklin, TN, called us after discovering water intrusion in the crawl space of their home. To address the issue and prevent it from occurring again, we completed a complete crawl space encapsulation. We cleaned out all the moisture-soaked debris, sealed the vents with SilverGlo panels, installed our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, drainage matting on the floors, a CleanSpace vapor barrier, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a TripleSafe sump pump. We finished the project with an IceGuard and Lawnscape drainage system.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture is present during the inspection of this crawl space. You can see water lines on the crawl space pillars and muddy floors over the vapor barrier.

Trench Dug

After the debris is removed, a small trench is dug to place the StarPipe crawl space drainage system.

StarPipe™ Installation

StarPipe™ is a custom-engineered drainage system for crawlspaces. 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

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

The SaniDry Sedona

The Sedona easily fits in small crawl spaces, yet has a powerful blower to effectively dry large crawl spaces. 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.

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 Panels

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

CleanSpace Liner

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.

IceGuard® Discharge Line Protection

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

LawnScape™

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.
