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

This customer in Franklin, TN, called us for moisture and water intrusion issues in his crawl space. The moisture was causing the wood floor joists and a section of the subfloor to rot. To fix the rotting subfloor and joist, we cut the section out and replaced it. We then moved on to mitigating the moisture issues. We cleaned out all the moisture-soaked debris, sealed the vents with SilverGlo panels, installed our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, drainage matting on the floors, a CleanSpace vapor barrier, as well as a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. We finished the project with an IceGuard and Lawnscape drainage system.

Small Trench Dug

A small trench is dug to prepare for the StarPipe crawl space drainage system, and a bigger hole is dug, and the container is put in for the sump pump. The sump pump will be assembled after the container is in place.

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.

The StarPipe System

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 crawl space floor.

Subfloor Cut Out

A section of the subfloor was rotted due to moisture damage. It had to be cut out.

Floor Replaced

The area that was cut out of the subfloor is replaced with new wood. We leave room to add flooring back over this, making it undetectable in the end.

CleanSpace Fully 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.

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.

Piers Wrapped

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

SilverGlow Panels

SilverGlo panels and spray foam insulation are used to seal the crawl space vents. Sealing your crawl space vents stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.
