Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Floyd M. in Antioch, TN, called Frontier to address moisture and water concerns in his crawl space. Our team removed debris, installed a full crawl space drainage system with a TripleSafe sump pump, IceGuard protection, and LawnScape outlet, then encapsulated the space using CleanSpace drainage matting, a 20-mil vapor barrier, wrapped piers, wall liner, and soda blasting where needed. To complete the system, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air filtration system to help keep the crawl space dry, clean, and protected long-term.

This dirty crawl space is now clean with our CleanSpace Encapsulating System.

Most crawl space doors are made from metal or wood that rot, rust, and fall apart over time. Our crawl space entry doors are made from a non-organic plastic that will not rust, rot, or deteriorate, bringing the best protection to your home from humidity, moisture, and unwanted pests from entering your home!

This home in Antioch had a serious excessive moisture problem in their crawl space. It was causing their wood in their crawl space to have a level of almost 50% moisture content. At 20% it means the wood is border-line decay and at 28% or above it is accompanied by decay damage. So, this crawl space was in dire need of our help! We did a full encapsulation and also added our EverLast Crawl Space Door. 

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.

Our EverLast Doors are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. An air and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weatherstripping that comes with each door!

We love when customers want to have the EverLast Door installed because it is the cherry on top of the encapsulation! 

This crawl space was full of so much water and moisture that most of the installation had just completely fallen down.  This was creating a perfect environment for mold growth.  The only thing mold needs to grow is a little bit of moisture and some organic material.  The homeowners were overwhelmed when they saw their crawl space and contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection.  A design specialist was sent to their home to address their concerns.  Together with the homeowners it was decided that a full encapsulation of their crawl space with CleanSpace was the right solution.  CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick vapor barrier designed to keep water and moisture out of a crawl space.  That difference between the before and after are shocking!  What a huge difference.
