Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer in Ashland City, TN called Frontier for moisture issues in their crawl space. The moisture issues had started to cause the insulation to drip and fall and mold had started to grow. To mitigate the issues, we came in and removed all the wet insulation from between the floor joists as well as all other debris. We then treated the wood floor joists for mold and began working on waterproofing this crawl space. We added drainage matting to the floors and then covered all the vents and any air leaks with SilverGlo panels and spray foam insulation. After that, we covered the entire area with a CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to capture any remaining moisture from the air. They now have a clean, dry, healthy crawl space. 

While this family has no need to access their crawlspace, they were experiencing soft spots in the floor and had previously repaired the sub-floor. Knowing that there was leaks and a damp, musty odor upstairs, the culprit was high moisture content within the area and affecting the wooden structure of the floor which needed immediate attention!

The CleanSpace liner used for crawl space encapsulation is a very tough, 20 mil vapor barrier, with both a mold inhibitor woven in and polyester cord reinforcement. The result is a space where water will not be able to penetratre in any way, lowering the relative humidity and protecting the structural integrity of the home.

This owner of this new construction home built in April had an exterminating company under the home who noticed excess water in the crawl space. The home owner did not waste any time protecting his brand new Forever Home. He chose to encapsulate to protect from mold, mildew, and future wood rot.

These homeowners in Ashland City Tennessee were having some problems with their crawl space and high humidity.  They felt that their floors were begging to sag and contacted Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection.  Frontier went out to their home, did a thorough inspection and together with the homeowners it was decided that a full encapsulation of their crawl space with CleanSpace was the best solution for this home.  CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick vapor barrier designed to keep water and moisture out of a crawl space.  What a difference in the before and after’s of this crawl space.

We used CleanSpace to help seal this musty crawlspace into a useable and energy-friendly space!
