Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

These Tennessee homeowners were aware of how important it was to encapsulate their crawl space.. especially if the space has a dirt floor! Dirt floors are such a big problem, because they contain a lot of moisture from the ground. Which will eventually evaporate, rise, and create condensation when the warm, humid air reaches a cooler surface. And moisture and wetness in a crawl space is a BIG no-no! It causes wood beams to mold, which leads to mold spores floating around in the air..and 50% of the air that is downstairs finds its way upstairs to your living quarters.

If you're having especially awful allergies, you might want to look into how healthy the air you're breathing in is!

Our crew set them up with our vapor barrier CleanSpace Liner and CleanSpace Drainage Matting.
The CleanSpace Liner is puncture and tear resistant, and an anti-microbial agent is blended into the liner to kill mold and bacteria. The Drainage Matting creates the perfect channel for water to make its way to the designated pump.

We have a happy Tennessee family now that their crawl space is encapsulated.

These homeowners in Clarksville Tennessee were suffering from a lot of water in their crawl space and wanted to get it corrected.  The homeowners reached out to Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection and a design specialist was sent to their home.  Together with the homeowners it was decided that a full encapsulation with CleanSpace as well as a TripleSafe sump pump were the right solutions for this crawl space.  The results?  A happy homeowner with a dry crawl space.

This Clarksville family had a very unhealthy crawl space and they started to worry about how it was affecting their health. They decided to take advantage of our free estimates and see what an expert had to say about it. 
Our inspector came and checked out their space, he took a few photos for reference and tested the moisture in the air and wood. Both indicated moisture levels above average and the wood content moisture was nearing the point in which most would see obvious rotting signs. While there were only mold spores growing, which is a safety hazard in itself, before long the home could experience serious and expensive foundation problems. 

The inspector talked to the family about our encapsulation process and its benefits, like reducing moisture and humidity in the space, as well as keeping cold winter drafts out and even lowering energy costs. The family was ready to have a healthy crawl space and healthier breathing air and did not want to worry about future expensive fixes. They wanted a lasting one right now before it got any worse. 

Our crew installed these products to encapsulate the crawlspace:
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier- 20mil thick liner with 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement 
Drainage Barrier- raised dimples to help trapped water find its way to the designated drain
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier- keeps relative humidity below 55%
EverLast Door- has a moisture and airtight seal and is also maintenance free!

This Clarksville family is very happy with their decision to encapsulate their crawl space. They are now breathing in healthier air and reaping all of the other benefits! 

This Clarksville crawl space had a bad leakage problem. It caused water to puddle on their black tarp, that was once used for bare minimum encapsulation. Puddles and water in the crawl space are a problem, because the water evaporates into your home. This crawl space's wood supporting joists soaked up all of the water and was overly hydrated. When our inspector came to inspect this family's home, he took a wood moisture content test and found that the wood had a rate of nearly at 40%! It was time to do something about their crawl space moisture issue before it caused permanent foundation damage! 

Our crew got to work installing our encapsulation products, as well as a few other products that will aid in making sure this crawl space stays healthy and dry!
