Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Murfreesboro, TN

Gary in Murfreesboro, TN, called Frontier to assess concerns in his crawl space. He knew the existing moisture barrier was in poor condition, and the space felt humid with squeaky floors inside the home. During the inspection, our design specialist found moisture seeping through the crawl space walls and evaporating up from the ground, creating a consistently damp environment. To permanently address the issue, the Frontier crew installed a full perimeter drainage system and encapsulated the crawl space. A TripleSafe™ sump pump and SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier were added to control groundwater and humidity levels year-round. Gary’s crawl space is now dry, stable, and protected for the long term.

Torn Vapor Barrier

Rips and tears in this vapor barrier allow ground moisture to evaporate into the space.

Efflorescence

White, chalky residue can be seen on the crawl space wall. This occurs when moisture seeps through and evaporates, leaving minerals behind.

Trench for Drainage System

Frontier's crew digs a trench for the drainage system to sit in before installation.

Drainage System

The drainage system surrounds the crawl space, collecting water as it enters from the walls.

Drainage System Connection

The drainage system connects directly to the sump pump, creating an efficient path for water to be collected and discharged away from the home.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

The TripleSafe™ sump pump is installed at the lowest point of the crawl space, allowing gravity to naturally direct water from the drainage system into the pump for efficient removal.

Drainage Matting

Drainage matting is installed underneath the CleanSpace liner, allowing water to flow laterally towards the drainage system.

Full Encapsulation

The CleanSpace® liner seals the crawl space floors and walls, creating a durable moisture barrier. Any water entering through the walls is directed down behind the liner and into the drainage system.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier will pull moisture from the air and keep the crawl space dry. It is placed near the entrance of the crawl space for easy maintenance.

IceGuard and LawnSpace Outlet

Water is discharged from the crawl space through the IceGuard® system, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line becomes blocked or frozen. The LawnScape™ outlet is installed downhill from the home, directing water safely away and preventing it from flowing back toward the crawl space.
