Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Paducah, KY

A customer in Paducah, KY, called Frontier due to failing crawl space supports and moisture issues. We decided on a crawl space encapsulation to address the moisture and SmartJacks to stabilize the unlevel floors. Once the structure was stabilized with our SmartJack system, we started the encapsulation process. This included installing our Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, SilverGlo panels to seal the crawl space vents, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now the floors are stabilized, the crawl space is sealed, and the moisture is controlled.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed. The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.

Failing Crawl space Supports

Sometimes, crawl space support pillars are built out of inadequate materials like cinder blocks or bricks. These are not enough to support the structure and will sink or break causing damage to the structure.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

Cracks Sealed

Cracks are sealed spray foam insulation between the concrete block walls.

SilverGlo Panels

SilverGlo panels are used to seal the crawl space vents. Sealing your crawl space air leaks stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.

Crawl Space Sealing

We use SilverGlo panels, spray foam insulation, and then CleanSpace to start sealing off the crawl space from the outside air.

CleanSpace During Insulation

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.

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. As a high-efficiency dehumidifier, the Sedona removes more moisture (100 pints per day) for less electricity cost than conventional models.
