This customer in Clarksville needed crawl space repair to his home. The beams holding the home up were starting to rot and become structurally unsound. Because it's built directly underneath your home, your crawl space plays a key role in your home's structural integrity. Crawl spaces bear this weight through the foundation walls and crawl space support columns.
Floors over crawl space foundations sag due to many reasons, including inadequate or shifting supports beneath floor joists and lumber deterioration due to mold and rot.
As a floor sags, this problem is often associated with other issues, including cracking drywall, skewed door and window openings, and a potentially moldy, musty odor in the house. Our SmartJack® system is designed to straighten and strengthen sagging floors over crawl space foundations. We also have other products that can eliminate crawl space moisture problems like rot and corroded metal surfaces.

Before a new EverLast Door on a customers crawl space
Before our intervention, the home in Clarksville had a crawl space door made out of organic material, which allowed air to freely enter and cause high humidity rates within the space. This often led to moisture issues and potentially compromised the structural integrity of the home. However, after installing the new EverLast Door, crafted from airtight, half-inch thick PVC plastic, the crawl space is now effectively sealed off from outside air. This not only prevents the ingress of humid air but also ensures better insulation and protection against moisture-related problems. The upgraded door not only enhances the overall integrity of the home but also contributes to a healthier and more controlled environment within the crawl space.
The customer in Clarksville, TN called Frontier when they noticed moisture issues and mold growth in their crawl space. For this project, we cleaned up the debris in the crawl space and then remediated the mold issue. After that to prevent the problem from reoccurring we installed Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner on the floor and walls, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a drainage system. We finished the project off with a new EverLast crawl space door.
