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

Larry in Brentwood, TN, reached out to Frontier after noticing drywall cracks spreading from the corners of doors and windows. When our Design Specialist inspected the home, they found the floor sloping by ¾ of an inch. Inside the crawl space, the wood moisture content measured 16%. Encapsulation was recommended to protect the space and prevent future damage from humidity. Our crew began by removing debris and preparing the crawl space. To stabilize the home, we installed five HSS 8-foot supplemental beams and 10 SmartJacks for reliable, adjustable support. The space was then encapsulated using CleanSpace 20-mil vapor barrier with Drainage Matting for moisture control. To manage humidity long-term, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air filtration system were installed. Frontier’s electrician also ran new circuits for the equipment, completing a full solution that stabilizes the foundation, protects against moisture, and restores peace of mind.
