Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Jackson, TN

This customer in Jackson, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues in their crawl space. To mitigate the issues, we completed a crawl space encapsulation. This process began with installing our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, followed by drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, sealing the crawl space vents, and installing our TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We finished this project by installing an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Moisture Issues

In order to keep your crawl space dry and healthy for the long haul, you need a complete crawl space waterproofing system expertly installed by Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair.

Mold Issues

Mold thrives in damp crawl spaces. It's vital to control moisture to stop mold from returning. That's where our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System comes in.

Crawl Space Issues

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

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.

StarPipe Uses

StarPipe™ is designed to be an easily installed conduit to accept water from the soil and surface of perimeter walls of your crawl space and drain to a sump system, allowing the water to quickly evacuate from the crawl space.

Drainage Matting

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

Insulate crawl space walls with rigid foam

We install high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation against the crawl space walls. SilverGlo™ does what fiberglass can't: stop air leaks, never lose R-value, and never absorb or be damaged by moisture.

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

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

The SaniDry Sedona

The Sedona easily fits in small crawl spaces, yet has a powerful blower to effectively dry large crawl spaces. 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.

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.

New Electrical Oullets

New electrical outlets are installed to accommodate the sump pump and dehumidifier.

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.
