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

Alex in Dickson, TN, contacted Frontier after purchasing a home and wanted to address concerns with the crawl space support system. During the inspection, the design specialist found high humidity levels and signs of mold growth in the crawl space. To restore support and stability, the Frontier team installed SmartJacks beneath the floor system. The crawl space was then encapsulated with drainage matting and CleanSpace liner to help isolate the home from ground moisture. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control humidity moving forward, and an EverLast door was added to help seal the crawl space from outside air and water intrusion.

Existing Crawl Space Door

The existing door allowed humid air to enter the crawl space, contributing to mold growth under the home.

Relative Humidity

Relative Humidity under the home was over 60%, the threshold for mold growth and pest attraction.

Mold Growth

High humidity in the crawl space had led to mold growing on floor joists and boards, which could lead to a compromised structure.

Soda Blasting Treatment

The crew used soda blasting to remove mold from the crawl space. Soda blasting removes mold at the root and prevents regrowth.

Restoring Support with SmartJacks

To address the original customer concern, SmarJacks were installed to lift the floor and restore support underneath the home.

Drainage Matting Installation

Every encapsulation with Frontier includes drainage matting installed beneath the liner to allow lateral water movement beneath the system.

Vent Sealing

Frontier uses SilverGlo insulation panels and RimTite insulation to seal off vents and prevent humid air from entering the space.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier

Frontier installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the relative humidity under 60%.

EverLast Door

The existing crawl space door was replaced with an EverLast door to prevent humid air and water from entering through the entryway.

Electrical Work

Frontier employs licensed electricians, so homeowners do not need to hire a separate company to complete electrical work for systems like sump pumps and dehumidifiers.
