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

Battling moisture issues under their home, a customer in Frankewing, TN, turned to Frontier for a complete crawl space encapsulation. Our team sealed out groundwater evaporation with elevated drainage matting and a CleanSpace vapor barrier system. After sealing the foundation vents to block outside air intrusion, we integrated a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels. We wrapped up the project with a custom-fitted crawl space door, leaving the home clean, dry, and energy-efficient.

Old Crawl Space Door

Controlling what goes on in your crawl space begins with the crawl space door. Too often, a crawl space door is simply cut from a piece of plywood and secured loosely over the crawl space opening with hinges or screws.

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.

Debris Removed

Debris is removed from the crawl space and hauled away.

Drainage Matting Installed

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

RimTight Insulation Spray

RimTight is an insulation system used for sealing the areas of the crawl space, exclusively offered by authorized Basement Systems dealers. The system uses materials like spray foam to prevent air leakage and moisture problems at the perimeter of a home's floor system.

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.

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.

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 Framing Installed

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