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

This customer in Pegram, TN, called Frontier to complete a crawl space encapsulation. For this project, we started by installing drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, and spray foam insulation to seal the crawl space air leaks. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a TripleSafe sump pump. We finished this project by installing an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture, debris, and water intrusion issues are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Installation

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

Drainage Matting Installation Process

Drainage matting is installed over the crawl space floor. This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

CleanSpace Liner

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.

Piers Wrapped with CleanSpace

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

Air Leaks 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.

Encapsulation Complete

The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.

TripleSafe Sump Pump and SaniDry Sedona

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

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.
