Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Sheffield, AL

This customer in Sheffield, AL, 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 seal the crawl space vents, Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Rotting Floor Joists

Mold and moisture have started to rot the floor joists.

Crawl Space Floor Failure

You can see the sagging in the crawl space floor due to the rotting floor joists.

Subfloor Replaced

The rotting subfloor has been replaced, and soon we will install SmartJacks to support the crawl space.

Debris Removed

Debris is removed from the crawl space before the waterproofing products are installed.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

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.

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.

Piers Wrapped

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

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.

Crawl Space Sealing

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.
