Part of cleaning up this crawl space and creating a healthy living space was a new entry door.
The EverLast door is made of non-organic material so it will not rot, mildew, or rust. The door also has an air tight seal to prevent air leaks.
This crawl space was UNHEALTHY! It had standing water along the perimeter of the space, crumbling insulation, uncovered soil ground, and a very high wood moisture content level in their supporting wood beams. This excessive moisture in the air was causing mold to grow and wood to rot. The homeowners were getting very nervous and decided it was best to get their moisture issues fixed now before bad structural damage occurred. They called us, Frontier Basement Systems, and our inspector came by and inspected their crawl space and took a few moisture tests.
He talked to the homeowners about encapsulating their crawl space and the homeowners agreed that it was best!
They also agreed that they needed to replace their old organic crawl space door because the door did nothing to stop critters or moisture from getting inside their newly sealed area!

This Tennessee couple was having high humidity and excessive moisture problems in their crawl space. This was causing mold and mold spores to grow, which started to affect the couple's health. They decided to call us based on a friend's recommendation and had us install our encapsulation systems and other products, such as our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity below 60%.
Along with our encapsulation system, the couple had learned about our EverLast crawl space doors and were intrigued.
Our doors are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Too often, a crawl space door is simply cut from a piece of plywood and secured loosely over the crawl space opening with hinges or screws. Unfortunately, this treatment allows insect and rodent pests to enter the crawl space, along with cold winter air that can make your floors frigid. But no worries, an air and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weatherstripping that comes with each EverLast door.
The couple and the family are so glad to have a healthy crawl space that they know no longer is causing them health issues! We are always happy to find lasting solutions for our community, especially when it's detrimental to their health!
*For an added bonus, you can see some of the debris and old liner we removed from the space!*
