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

Patty in Morrison, TN, called Frontier to address moisture concerns at her newly purchased home. During the inspection, the design specialist found that the existing sump pump was not working properly, allowing standing water to accumulate in the crawl space and create conditions for mold growth. There was also a support beam without proper pier support. To fix the issue, the Frontier crew installed SmartJacks to support the beam properly. A drainage system was added to address the standing water, along with a TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup to collect and discharge water through an IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet. The crawl space was then encapsulated with drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity, and an EverLast crawl space door was added to help seal the space.

Missing Support for Floor Beam

Moisture in the crawl space caused the soil to soften, allowing the support to sink and leaving the floor beam without proper support.

Ineffective Sump Pump

The existing sump pump was not working properly, allowing water to build up in the crawl space.

Debris Removal

Frontier removes existing debris, including old vapor barriers and insulation, before installing drainage and encapsulating.

SmartJack Support

To restore support to the floor, a SmartJack was installed near the sunken pier.

Drainage System Installation

Frontier installed a drainage system along the wall where water intrusion was present.

Encapsulation

The crews install drainage matting and CleanSpace liner on the floor, walls, and piers of the crawl space to prevent moisture intrusion on all sides.

TripleSafe Sump Pump and Battery Backup

The drainage system connects to the TripleSafe sump pump, which includes two pumps for heavy water drainage and a battery-powered pump for power outages.

SaniDry Sedona

A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to remove humidity and keep RH levels low.

Frontier Electricians

Frontier has licensed electricians on staff to handle power needs after sump pump or dehumidifier installation, ensuring all equipment is properly powered.

IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet

The sump pump removes water and drains it through an IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet. The IceGuard ensures water can still drain if the line has a blockage.
