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

This customer in Hopkinsville, KY, called Frontier due to moisture and water drainage issues in their crawl space. To mitigate the drainage issues, we installed our StarPipe crawl space drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump, and connected the products to drainage lines leading to our IceGuard and LawnScape drainage system.

Crawl Space During Inspection

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.

Moisture Issues

Moisture issues are starting to cause foundational issues in this crawl space, as seen by the cracking of the walls.

StarPipe™ Installation

StarPipe™ is a custom-engineered drainage system for crawlspaces. StarPipe's™ custom design has slots on each side, providing a drainage track on the bottom. StarPipe's™ unique star shape holds the fabric sleeve in place to prevent dirt from entering drainage slots.

StarPipe™ Specifications

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 quickly evacuate from the crawl space.

Sump Pump Placement

The sump pump container is placed and the Starpipe is placed inside. Any water the StarPipe collects will go into the sump pump.

Sump Pump Assembled

Once the sump pump container is placed, all the mechanical parts are assembled inside.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Installed

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, provides three levels of protection for your basement 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.

Drainage Lines Installed

Drainage lines are installed on the sump pump to lead outside to the IceGuard and LawnScape system.

IceGuard and LawnScape System

Water escapes from the IceGuard® fitting only when the discharge line becomes clogged. Otherwise, water flows past the slotted openings into the drain pipe. LawnScape™ is a pipe buried from the downspout to a special LawnScape™ outlet that lets the water out onto the surface while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning. LawnScape™ is best used for downspout extensions over 8' long.
