Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A home in Nashville, Tennessee, struggled with pervasive musty odors from elevated crawl space humidity, measuring a concerning 87%, fostering mold growth and moisture issues. Our solution involves encapsulating the crawl space, installing a dehumidifier to regulate humidity under 55%, and addressing mold growth by wrapping walls, installing drainage matting, and applying a durable CleanSpace liner. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier ensures ongoing moisture control and a healthier living environment, restoring crawl space integrity and improving indoor air quality.

This customer in Nashville, TN called Frontier to encapsulate their crawl space to control moisture issues. We cleaned out all the debris, sealed the vents, installed Drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier on all walls and floors, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and finished the project with the installation of a new secure crawl space door. 

Vents not only let hot, wet or cold air into a crawl space - but water too!

By having high water content in a crawl space, the relative humidity will cause wood to become damp and rot, causing mold to grow. In winter time when the relative humidity in the air is low, the result is cold floors, cold drafts and high energy bills! So when the solution is worse than the problem, the answer is to use a vent cover in conjunction with our CleanSpace system.

The owners of this home started seeing signs upstairs that indicated something was going on downstairs that needed to be addressed. The floors were becoming "bouncy" and uneven, and there was also a mildew aroma lingering upstairs. The family had heard about encapsulation and all of the benefits, including reduced energy bills, and they decided it was time they got their crawl space encapsulated. The homeowners called us up for their free inspection and we got one of our trained inspectors out to their home asap!
Our inspector looked around the home and ventured into the crawl space to take photos (for reference), take moisture and humidity tests, and check the overall health of the space. 
Most of the wood in the space had a moisture content of 20% or above. Wood at that level is already showing signs of decay. There were spots that even neared 30%, which is why the floors upstairs were starting to get bouncy. The wood was rotting away right under their feet!
Our inspector knew exactly what they needed. He told them about our CleanSpace encapsulation process and SmartJacks System. After learning about the products, they were ready to have them installed!
