This home had some musty odors lingering in the living quarters that had the homeowners worried! They went to check out their crawl space and saw that the unsealed soil ground was moist and even growing plants! There was mold also growing on the wood beams that caused them to call us very quickly!
Our inspector was at their home in no time and inspecting their space. He noted the moist soil ground, mud on the walls and practically everywhere, and the open vent.
He went back to the homeowners and explained what was happening in their crawl space. There was an excessive amount of moisture coming from the uncovered soil ground, which was evaporating into the home and causing mold to grow! This mold was causing the mildew odor upstairs. Our inspector told them all about our encapsulation system and how it reduced moisture and also a few of the supporting products. They were all in and ready for the products to be installed!

This Kentucky homeowner had a problem with standing water constantly in his crawl space. He said that the space reeked of a mildew odor. The wood beams in his space were decaying and molding from the moisture. This excessive moisture also caused mold to grow throughout his crawl space. Did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from downstairs? We in fact, do not want our family breathing in moldy air.
The crawl space was "encapsulated" when built, but it was obviously the bare minimum to meet code. When our inspector came to inspect her home, he made sure to tell her all about our professional encapsulation system. Our vapor barrier liner is made to reduce moisture in the crawl and can even lower your energy bills. It is also quite durable for it is 20mil thick and has 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement.
When crawl spaces are prone to this much standing water, we suggest one of our powerful sump pumps, such as our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which has three different pumps that will change automatically to fit your space's needs! To keep humidity at bay to stop the growth of mold, we also suggest our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifer. It will ensure your relative humidity will never go above 60% (the percentage at which dust mites and mold thrives)
Thanks to these products and our nearly indestructible EverLast Door.

This moist crawl space needed our help before permanent foundation damages occurred! The homeowners were worried about mold growing and their wood supporting beams rotting. They were also worried about their family's health. Did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from downstairs? You don't ever want your family to be breathing in moldy mildew air!
They decided it was time to have their space encapsulated once and for all, so they'd never have to worry about it again!
They called Frontier Basement Systems, and we got one of our trained inspectors out to their home to look around their space, take tests, and then sit down and talk to the homeowners about what kind of shape their space was in and what products we offered that could help them!
