This Clarksville family had a mess of problems that stemmed from having a leaky crawl space.
Because of the excessive amount of moisture in their space, it caused mold. The mold even started growing in their living quarters AND there was a lingering musty smell in both areas.
The moisture had caused mold to grow on their wood beams as well, which weakened them and created soft spots! They also complained of cold floors during the winter. but no worries. After they met with our inspector he ensured them he had a lasting solution for them! We encapsulated their crawl space and installed our durable EverLast Door!
EverLast crawl space doors from Basement Systems are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. An air and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weatherstripping that comes with each EverLast door.
We have very happy customers thanks to our nationally backed products and experienced crew!
This Tennessee couple was having high humidity and excessive moisture problems in their crawl space. This was causing mold and mold spores to grow, which started to affect the couple's health. They decided to call us based on a friend's recommendation and had us install our encapsulation systems and other products, such as our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity below 60%.
Along with our encapsulation system, the couple had learned about our EverLast crawl space doors and were intrigued.
Our doors are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Too often, a crawl space door is simply cut from a piece of plywood and secured loosely over the crawl space opening with hinges or screws. Unfortunately, this treatment allows insect and rodent pests to enter the crawl space, along with cold winter air that can make your floors frigid. But no worries, an air, and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weatherstripping that comes with each EverLast door.
The couple and the family are so glad to have a healthy crawl space that they know no longer is causing them health issues! We are always happy to find lasting solutions for our community, especially when it's detrimental to their health!
This Clarksville family had a very unhealthy crawl space and they started to worry about how it was affecting their health. They decided to take advantage of our free estimates and see what an expert had to say about it.
Our inspector came and checked out their space, he took a few photos for reference and tested the moisture in the air and wood. Both indicated moisture levels above average and the wood content moisture was nearing the point in which most would see obvious rotting signs. While there were only mold spores growing, which is a safety hazard in itself, before long the home could experience serious and expensive foundation problems.
The inspector talked to the family about our encapsulation process and its benefits, like reducing moisture and humidity in the space, as well as keeping cold winter drafts out and even lowering energy costs. The family was ready to have a healthy crawl space and healthier breathing air and did not want to worry about future expensive fixes. They wanted a lasting one right now before it got any worse.
Our crew installed these products to encapsulate the crawlspace:
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier- 20mil thick liner with 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement
Drainage Barrier- raised dimples to help trapped water find its way to the designated drain
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier- keeps relative humidity below 55%
EverLast Door- has a moisture and airtight seal and is also maintenance free!
This Clarksville family is very happy with their decision to encapsulate their crawl space. They are now breathing in healthier air and reaping all of the other benefits!
These homeowners in Clarksville Tennessee were struggling with a musty smell within their home, this is when they reached out to Frontier for help. Frontier sent out a design specialist to take a look at their crawl space and to diagnose the problems. Together with the homeowner the design specialist decided that a full encapsulation of their crawl space was the best solution. Not only are the results stunning but the homeowners no longer have a musty smell within their home. They can even utilize this space for extra storage as well.
This Clarksville crawl space had a bad leakage problem. It caused water to puddle on their black tarp, that was once used for bare minimum encapsulation. Puddles and water in the crawl space are a problem, because the water evaporates into your home. This crawl space's wood supporting joists soaked up all of the water and was overly hydrated. When our inspector came to inspect this family's home, he took a wood moisture content test and found that the wood had a rate of nearly at 40%! It was time to do something about their crawl space moisture issue before it caused permanent foundation damage!
Our crew got to work installing our encapsulation products, as well as a few other products that will aid in making sure this crawl space stays healthy and dry!
