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

This customer in Columbia, TN, called Frontier due to moisture and mold issues in their crawl space. To start the project, we cleaned out all the moisture-soaked debris and treated the mold issue. To fix the moisture issues, we completed a crawl space encapsulation. This process began with the installation of our drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, sealing the crawl space vents, and installing our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We finished this project with a new EverLast crawl space door.

Mold Growth

Mold growth is visible on the wooden floor joists. This is a problem that will not stop until the mold is treated and the moisture is controlled so it doesn't start to re-establish itself.

Moisture Readings

Moisture levels in the crawl space. This level of humidity is high, and why the mold is growing.

Moisture Damage

If you look along the bottom of the crawl space walls, you can see water lines where the water is seeping out.

Mold Growth and Wood Rot

Much like the basement, the nature of your crawl space lends itself to moisture issues and mildew growth. Crawl spaces are dark and often damp due to moisture from the ground or other causes. Mold forms essentially wherever oxygen and moisture are present, so it's no surprise that crawl spaces can become a breeding ground for mold.

More Water Damage

It is not uncommon for homeowners to notice water in their crawl spaces. However, crawl space humidity problems can lead to wood rot, pest infestations, poor indoor air quality, and mold and mildew problems.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

Mold Treated

Floor joists after the mold had been treated. You can see a very big difference from the first images of this crawl space.

Piers Wrapped and Sealed

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

CleanSpace Liner

CleanSpace is fully installed in the crawl space. Sealing your crawl space stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.
