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

A homeowner in Nashville, TN, called Frontier over concerns about mold and moisture in their crawl space as well as sagging beams. For this project, we stabilized the structure with Our SmartJack system. Then we cleared out the debris and remediated the mold. To make sure these issues wouldn't return, we started a full encapsulation. We laid down drainage matting and then sealed the floor and walls with CleanSpace liner, effectively locking out moisture from the earth. To handle any potential water, we installed our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We also installed an IceGuard system and a LawnScape outlet to guide any collected water safely away from the home. We finished this project with a new, airtight EverLast crawl space door. The result is a completely protected, clean, and dry space for a healthier home.

Moisture Issues

The water line on the crawl space foundation walls is a clear indication of moisture issues. Water is leaking from the cavities and voids in the concrete block.

Mold Issues

The moisture issues in this crawl space are causing mold to grow on the beams and floor joists. This will continue to grow until the mold is remediated and the moisture is controlled.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

StarPipe™ i

StarPipe™ is designed to be an easily installed conduit to accept water from the soil and surface of the perimeter walls of your crawl space and drain to a sump system, allowing the water to quickly evacuate from the crawl space.

SmartJack System Installed

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.

SilverGlo Panels

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

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

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your crawl space 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.

New Crawl Space Door

Our EverLast™ Crawl Space Doors are created with ½" thick solid plastic, and they will never rust, rot, or need paint. Sturdy knobs allow for easy access and ensure a tight seal for many years to come.

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.
