Reliable Radon Mitigation & Foundation Crack Repair Contractor serving Tullahoma, TN

This homeowner in Tullahoma, TN, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to encapsulate their dark, dirty crawl space. Inside the crawl space, our crew found several signs of water damage. Moisture was visible on the wooden beams of the space, and mold had grown where this moisture met with the wooden beam. An old, dirty vapor barrier was also found and removed, making way for drainage matting and a CleanSpace vapor barrier. With the CleanSpace vapor barrier, the crawl space is now a dry, clean, and energy-efficient space. To prevent air from flowing into the crawl space, the crawl space vents were sealed off and insulated with SilverGlo insulated panels. The step is especially important consider the problems the "Stack Effect" may cause, as it allows dirty air to flow up into the home through the crawl space. To ensure the moisture levels in the crawl space remain stable, our team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. To eliminate the threat of standing water, we also installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to remove large amounts of water. At the end of the day, this crawl space is now protected from the threat of moisture. 

This home in Tullahoma, TN, was suffering from a plethora of symptoms related to water damage, such as mold growth, efflorescence, and wood rot. The walls and floor of the home's basement were riddled with water spots, and the bottom of the wood panels along the wall had been broken down by rot and mold. Not only was this basement unsightly, it was also unhealthy for those who reside in the home. Once at the sight, our crew assessed the situation and got to work. First, the damp flooring and moldy wall panels were removed. A CleanSpace wall vapor barrier was placed to keep water vapor from getting into the basement. Instead, the water hits the barrier and is directed down into drains that lead into the TripleSafe sump pump system. This system works to keep water out and away from the basement. To control humidity levels, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed. When the job was completed, the homeowner had a bright, water-free space to enjoy for years to come. 

This dirty, crowded crawl space in Tullahoma, TN, was in desperate need of encapsulation as well as structural support. For these reasons, the homeowner decided to contact Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for assistance. After clearing the space of debris, our skilled crew laid down drainage matting. This special matting is designed to facilitate the flow of water from inside to outside the crawl space. Over the matting, a CleanSpace vapor barrier is applied to the crawl space's floor, walls, columns, and support beams. This creates a more sterile space that provides energy savings to the homeowner. At Frontier, we use the SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizers to lift sagging floors and provide more structural support. This eliminates bouncy and dipped floors, improving the quality of your living space.  Mold on the wooden joists in the crawl space indicated an issue with high humidity. To combat and eliminate any future mold growth, our team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. With more support and dryness, this homeowner can take comfort in the new health of their home and crawl space. 

The homeowners in Tullahoma, TN found mold majorly spreading in their basement. They decided to give us a call and scheduled a free inspection with one of our design specialists Mark. Mark performed the inspection and found mold severely spreading around the walls. He measured the humidity levels which proved the basement was too humid, which was contributing to mold growth. Together they decided the basement needed to be waterproofed, and the basement air needed to be controlled in order to create a healthy and dry environment. To get this basement under control, we had to execute several steps:

1. We removed all water from the basement and waterproofed it. We installed the WaterGuard Waterproofing System- a system of pipes that collects water that enters the basement either through cracks or foundation walls, and leads it to the TripleSafe sump pump, which pumps it outside, far away from the house.

2. We installed CleanSpace wall system, heavy and durable plastic liner, that provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it and dramatically brightens the basement.

3. As the last step, we installed SaniDry Air System, which was designed to dramatically dry the air and objects, eliminating dampness, mold growth, and unpleasant odors.

Now the environment is controlled, and the homeowners can turn their large basement into a family room, guest room, laundry room or a man cave.

As soon as Lori C. moved into her 1940's home, she realized her basement had a bad leaking problem! Whenever it rained heavy there would be numerous puddles on the ground. The leaking caused ugly stains on her wall and she worried about the structural damage that could occur if she did not seek help asap. 
Lori googled waterproofing experts and found us! She called and scheduled a free inspection. In no time, one of our highly trained inspectors met her at her home and inspected the area. He sat down with her and went over different issues her basement had and what products we had that could help her. She loved that we gave her a same-day (free) estimate, so she could plan accordingly. She agreed to have our WaterGuard product and TripleSafe Sump Pump installed. The WaterGuard is great for collecting water seepage from both the wall and ground and sending it to our reliable and mess-free pump. To help with the wall seepage and stains, we installed our CleanSpace Wall System. We also installed a few products outside-our IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet. The IceGuard ensures that no water will come back into the house even if lines become frozen. The LawnScape Outlet is green to better camouflage into surrounding grass and has a removable top for easier cleaning. 

Lori now has a dry and beautiful basement. She can think about remodeling now and never has to worry about puddles damaging her foundation! 

This crawlspace went from having serious mold issues to having cleaner/dryer air, new supports, and our famous CleanSpace Wall!
