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

This customer in Hermitage, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues and unlevel floors in the home. We decided on a crawl space encapsulation to address the moisture and SmartJacks to stabilize the unlevel floors. Once the structure was stabilized with our SmartJack system, we started the encapsulation process. This included installing SilverGlo panels to insulate foundation walls, Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We finished this project by installing a new secure EverLast crawl space door.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture and mold and falling, debris 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.

Debris in Crawl Space

All of this debris will be removed before we start our crawl space encapsulation.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

SilverGlo Panels

Insulate crawl space walls with rigid foam: We install high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation against the crawl space walls. SilverGlo™ does what fiberglass can't: stop air leaks, never lose R-value, and never absorb or be damaged by moisture.

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.

SmartJack Installation

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.

Piers Wrapped

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.

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.
