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

A homeowner in Hartselle, 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. We completed the job with IceGuard and LawnScape exterior drainage solutions to ensure optimal performance in any season.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug around the perimeter of the crawl space to get ready for the placement of the StarPipe system.

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

Drainage matting forms a permanent seal for leaking crawl space floors.

Piers Wrapped

Piers are wrapped in CleanSpace® poly to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.

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 basement and your peace of mind.

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 and LawnScape During Installation

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™ 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.
