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

This customer in Madison, TN, called Frontier after noticing some cracks in the drywall, doors that did not shut well, and floorboards that were bowing slightly in certain areas. For this project, we installed waterproofing products to address the moisture issues and SmartJacks to stabilize the crawl space sinking. Once the structure was stabilized with our SmartJack system, we started with the moisture issues. This included installing our StarPipe crawl space drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump. We finished the project with an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Crawl Space During Inspection

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

Interior Cracks

These cracks in the home's interior indicate the crawl space is sinking.

Sloping Floors

Sloping floors are another indication that the crawl space is sinking. If not addressed, this problem will only get worse.

SmartJacks

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.

Stronger Crawl Space Support

Our crawl space support system can support vertical loads exceeding 60,000 pounds, which is far stronger than conventional concrete repairs.

Versatile Installation

The SmartJack 's portable size allows it to be installed in even the tightest of crawl spaces.

StarPipe Installation

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.

StarPipe™ Specifications

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

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.

IceGuard and LawnScape System Install

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.
