Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Paducah, KY

This customer in Paducah, KY, called Frontier due to moisture and water issues in their crawl space. To fix the problem, we completed a crawl space encapsulation. This included installing our StarPipe crawl space drainage system, drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, TripleSafe sump pump, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We also sealed off all air leaks to the crawl space and installed our IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Water Damage

Water damage is an issue in this crawl space. You can see visible water lines and mildew growing on the concrete block wall.

Crawl Space Before Project

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.

StarPipe™ Installation

StarPipe™ is designed to be an easily installed conduit to accept water from the soil and surface of perimeter walls of your crawl space and drain to a sump system, allowing the water to evacuate from the crawl space.

Drainage Matting

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

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

CleanSpace is installed and sealed into place on the walls of this crawl space first using spray foam insulation.

CleanSpace Installation

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.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your crawl space and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

New Framing

New framing is built to make sure the EverLast crawl space door fits securely.

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.

IceGuard® Discharge Line Protection

Many sump pump discharge lines are susceptible to freezing during the cold winter months. Our IceGuard® discharge line protection prevents this from happening, with no need for the homeowner to do anything! This specifically designed grated adapter is located outside where the discharge line exits the house. If the pipe underground freezes in the winter, water can still be pumped out without the worry of backups into your crawl space!
