Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Boaz, AL

A homeowner in Boaz, AL, called Frontier to address a moisture issue in their crawl space. We decided to install an encapsulation system, starting with the StarPipe drainage and a TripleSafe sump pump, for maximum water protection. To ensure the area stays dry and clean, we layered drainage matting with our CleanSpace liner and added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier for superior climate control. We finished the job with IceGuard and LawnScape exterior drainage solutions to guarantee performance in any season.

Crawl Space During Inspection

During the inspection, moisture issues are present in the crawl space. You can see in this photo the water is seeping out of the bottom of the concrete block wall.

StarPipe Crawl Space Drainage System

StarPipe™ is a custom-engineered drainage system for crawl spaces. StarPipe's™ custom design has slots on each side, providing a drainage track on the bottom. StarPipe's™ unique star shape holds the fabric sleeve in place to prevent dirt from entering drainage slots.

Drainage Matting Installed

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

CleanSpace Installed

One key ingredient in our encapsulation system is the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable 20-mil plastic sheet designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your crawl space and your peace of mind.

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier

Mold and mildew are common in crawl spaces, but the Sedona keeps the relative humidity below 55%, so mold won't stand a chance.

Crawl Space Sealed

Crawl space sealing and insulation will help you avoid unnecessary repairs, create a healthier living space, and save money on your utility bills. And once you've encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you've gained valuable storage space in your home.

IceGuard Installed

Water escapes from the IceGuard® fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe.

LawnScape Installed

LawnScape™ is a pipe buried from the downspout to a special LawnScape™ outlet that lets the water out onto the surface while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning. LawnScape™ is best used for downspout extensions over 8' long.
