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

This customer in Lyles, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues in the crawl space. To address the issue, we completed a crawl space encapsulation. We cleaned out all the moisture-soaked debris, sealed any air leaks, installed our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, drainage matting on the floors, a CleanSpace vapor barrier, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, 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. The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.

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™ Installed

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.

Drainage Matting

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

Debris Removed

Debris and insulation were removed from between the floor joists.

Vents Sealed

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.

Air leaks Sealed

Air leaks are sealed with spray foam insulation. Crawl space sealing and insulation will help you avoid unnecessary repairs, create a healthier living space, and save money on your utility bills. And once you've encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you've gained valuable storage space in your home.

SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier

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.

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.
