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

This customer in Gordonsville, TN, called Frontier due to failing crawl space piers and moisture issues. We decided on a crawl space encapsulation and SmartJacks to stabilize the crawl space. Once the structure was stabilized with our SmartJack system, we started the encapsulation process. This included installing Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a TripleSafe sump pump. We finished the project with a new EverLast crawl space door and an IceGuard and LawnScape System.

Failing Crawl Space Supports

Sometimes, crawl space support pillars are built on soils that are not strong enough to support the weight of your home. Over time, these supports will begin to sink into the soil. As they do, the floor they hold up will sink as well, leading to uneven floors and interior wall cracking.

Crawl Space Debris

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed.

Drainage Matting Installation

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

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 and Sedona

A TripleSafe® Sump Pump System (shown here), combined with a SaniDry® dehumidifier, represents the ultimate in crawl space waterproofing and humidity control.

SmartJacks Installed

The SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position.

New Framing is Built

New framing is built out to ensure a secure fit for the new crawl space door.

New Crawl Space Door

Our EverLast™ Crawl Space Doors are created with ½" thick solid plastic, and they will never rust, rot, or need paint. Sturdy knobs allow for easy access and ensure a tight seal for many years to come.

IceGuard and LawnScape System 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.

Project Complete

Once the drainage lines are connected, they are buried flush with the ground. This helps with not only removing the water but also does not impede on lawn maintenance.
