This customer in Tennessee Ridge, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues in their crawl space. To mitigate the moisture issues we completed a complete crawl space encapsulation. This began with cleaning out all the debris, adding our EZ Flow crawl space drainage system, installing drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We finished this project by installing an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.
Some customers worry their crawl space is too shallow and Frontier would be unable to work on it. Nope! As you can see this crawl space is very shallow but we were able to get in there, clean it out, and got it encapsulated for the homeowners.
This Spring Hill home had the code required plastic laid on the crawl space floor but nothing more.
Since the family had move din over 3 years ago there has been water under the plastic. They do not go in the crawlspace often but do know that it leaks and want a permanent solution. This homeowner does not want any problems with mold, mildew, soft spots in the floor, or unlevel floors.
A crawl space encapsulation is the perfect solution offering the best permanent solution and peace of mind.
This Tennessee family had lived in their 1995 home since 2002 and had no idea about the problems an unhealthy crawl space could bring until termite control informed them that they needed to get an inspection asap.
After being more informed about the problem, they were worried about their health from the mold and their home's foundation.
We had the perfect solution for them:
-We tore out all of the old and moist insulation (that was causing their wood beams to rot!)
-Cleaned up all the debris on the ground
-Installed our Drainage Matting to give the water flooding into their crawl space a channel underneath the liner to navigate its way into their Sump Pump
-Installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to prevent water vapor and humidity to pass through, therefore keeping their crawl space dry and protecting their structure from mold and rot!
-We also installed our powerful Sump Pump system to make sure water gets out of their crawl space!
Now their crawl space is not only clean but healthy too!
Don't forget, the air that is downstairs comes up and becomes the air we breathe every day!
After speaking with a few other companies and meeting with us at a local home show, this family knew exactly what they wanted. They educated themselves on all of the benefits that encapsulating their crawl space would give to them and were ready to get the job done. Some of these benefits include helping seal out cold drafts during the winter, preventing cold floors, as well as reducing moisture and humidity to prevent mold from growing which would create unhealthy breathing air, because roughly 50% of the air we breathe comes from our crawl space/basement.
Our nationally backed products we installed included:
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier- (super durable) 20mil thick, 7-layer polyethylene composition, with polyester cord reinforcement
CleanSpace Drainage Matting- works as a channel for flowing water to make its way to the designated drain/pump
