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

This customer in Nashville, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues in his crawl space. To mitigate the problem, we completed a crawl space encapsulation. This included installing Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a TripleSafe sump pump. We finished the project with an IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Checking Humidity Levels

Checking the levels of humidity in the crawl space. This level is too high; it is a breeding ground for mold and wood rot, leading to structural damage.

Moisture damage

Moisture damage can be seen in this photo. Water is seeping through the foundation walls; you can see the water line at the bottom.

Piers Wrapped

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

Drainage Matting Installed

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

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.

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.

Encapsulation Complete

The crawl space encapsulation is now complete. Sealing Your Crawl Space controls mold & rot, saves money on utilities, keeps away pests, seals away odors, prevents drafty floors, and increases your home's value while adding additional storage space.

IceGuard and LawnScape Installation

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.
