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

This customer in Portland, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues in their crawl space. 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 cleaner and drier crawl space!

Crawl Space During Inspection

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

Moisture Damage

Moisture damage is visible in this crawl space. From water lines on the concrete block wall to the mud on the old vapor barrier.

Moisture Levels

Measuring moisture and humidity levels in the crawl space. This level is high, and the perfect breeding ground for mold and wood rot.

StarPipe™

StarPipe™ is a custom-engineered drainage system for crawlspaces. 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.

Drainage Matting Installed

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor. Water will flow underneath it into the StarPipe, then carried to the sump pump and pumped out of the crawl space.

Piers Wrapped

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

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.

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.

SilverGlo Panels

Air leaks are sealed with SilverGlo panels and spray foam insulation to keep all the outside air out.

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.
