Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Hanson, KY

This customer in Hanson, KY, called Frontier due to water intrusion and moisture issues in their crawl space. To fix the water intrusion, we drained all the water out of the crawl space so we could start the waterproofing project. To mitigate the moisture issues, we completed a complete crawl space encapsulation. This began with cleaning out all the debris, adding our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, installing drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and we finished this project by installing an IceGuard, and LawnScape drainage system, leaving them with a much happier and drier crawl space!

Water Intrusion

Water is seeping through the concrete block wall and the water intrusion has caused water to pool up on the floor. This water will be extracted before the project starts.

Moisture Issues

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

StarPipe™

StarPipe™ is designed to be an easily installed conduit to accept water from the soil and surface of perimeter walls of your crawlspace/basement and drain to a sump system, allowing the water to quickly evacuate from the crawlspace or from under the basement floor.

Drainage Matting

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

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

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.

Sealing Air Leaks

We seal off any other air leaks with spray foam insulation to keep this crawl space air-tight.

Vents Sealed

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

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.

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.

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. LawnScape™ is best used for downspout extensions over 8' long.
