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

This customer in Clarksville, TN called Frontier concerned about a sinking crawl space floor and moisture issues. The sagging floors were caused by inadequate crawl space supports. To mitigate the issue we installed our SmartJack System to stabilize and lift the structure back up. Once that was complete, we addressed the moisture issues by cleaning out all the debris, installing an EZ Flow drainage system, a TripleSpace sump pump, and IceGuard and LawnScape system to drain out any water.

Crawl Space During Inspection

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

Water Damage

Obvious signs of water and moisture issues are visible in this photo. Water lines are seen on the concrete block wall where water has been seeping through.

Sinking 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.

Failing Crawl Space Supports

Sometimes, the contractor who builds a home will install inadequate support beams that hold up your floor and interior structure. When this happens, the floor may sink in the spans between each support, leading to damage to your home structure.

Trench Dug

A trench is dug around the crawl space perimeter in preparation for the installation of the EZ Flow drainage system.

EZ Flow

EZ Flow Crawl Space Drainage System is installed to prevent flooding in this dirt crawl space. EZ Flow features a filter fabric with holes on the top and front to accept water from the soil and surface of your crawl space. The pipe also collects water seepage from the crawl space walls and the footing/wall joint.

Installation Process of Sump Pump

The new container for the sump pump is installed, and all the pump components are put together inside.

Versatile Installation

The SmartJack 's portable size allows it to be installed in even the tightest of crawl spaces.

The SmartJack Support System

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.

IceGuard and LawnScape

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.
