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

This customer in Huntsville, AL, called Frontier to address moisture issues in their crawl space. To start the project, we removed the old vapor barrier. To manage the moisture issues, we installed our drainage matting, a CleanSpace liner, sealed the crawl space vents, and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. To complete the project, we added a new, secure EverLast crawl space door and TURTL Access Well.

Moisture Issues

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation 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.

Old Vapor Barrier

This old vapor barrier is obviously not doing its job. It will need to be removed before the project begins.

Old Crawl Space Door

The old crawl space door is made of wood that has rotted due to moisture.

Digging out Area for Crawl Space Entry

Digging out a space to install our Turtl Crawl Space Entry System.

Turtl Crawl Space Entry System

Sized to protect most crawl space doors, the Turtl® Crawl Space Entry System consists of a reinforced shell made from plastic and a hinged plastic top that seals down securely and can be locked to prevent entry. When installed correctly, the Turtl's hinged top can take the place of a standard crawl space door.

Drainage Matting Installed

Drainage matting forms a permanent seal for leaking crawl space floors.

CleanSpace Installed

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.

Air Leaks Sealed

All air leaks are sealed with spray foam insulation. Sealing your crawl space stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.
