Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Big Rock, TN

This customer in Big Rock, TN called us for moisture issues in the crawl space. To mitigate the moisture issues we cleaned out all the moisture-soaked insulation and other debris, and then started the project. This project involved installing our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, TripleSafe sump pump, drainage matting on the floors, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and adding IceGuard and Lawnscape drainage systems.

Moisture Reading

Moisture and humidity levels are taken during the inspection of the crawl space. This level is high and a perfect environment for mold growth and wood rot.

StarPipe™

StarPipe™ is a custom-engineered drainage system for crawl spaces. 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.

Break Thru Block Wall

Break Thru Block Wall panels are added to the crawl space foundation walls for an extra level of moisture protection.

Piers Wrapped with CleanSpace

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

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.

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.

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.
