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

This customer in Harvest, AL, called Frontier after discovering high radon levels in their home. They decided to install a radon mitigation system and encapsulate the crawl space to further lower the radon levels in the home to an acceptable level. The encapsulation process included cleaning out debris and stored items in the crawl space, installing Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, SilverGlo panels to seal the vents, and installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Debris and stored items in the crawl space that will need to be removed before we can start this project.

Crawl Space Problems

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.

More Stored Items

Once the crawl space is encapsulated, this customer will have a nice clean and moisture free area to store there items. With a dry crawl space they won't have to worry about their items being ruined.

Crawl Space Cleaned Out

The stored items and debris have been removed from this crawl space. Now we can start the encapsulation process.

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.

Vents Sealed with SilverGlo Panels

Sealing your crawl space vents stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.

Piers Wrapped

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

Drainage Matting Installed

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

The SaniDry Sedona

The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier maintains the ideal level of humidity in your crawl space. It fits easily in small crawl spaces but has a big impact on your entire home.

Radon Mitigation

If your home has radon levels around or above 4pCi/l (4 picocuries per liter), it's important to have a radon mitigation system installed by a professional radon contractor. Without radon mitigation, family members will be exposed to potentially lethal levels of radioactivity in the form of invisible, odorless radon gas.

How radon mitigation works

When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies.
