This Hendersonville crawlspace is covered in our thick, pool-like CleanSpace liner, which keeps out water vapor and prevents mold from growing underneath your home.
A 35 year old home in Hendersonville Tennessee has leaks in the crawl space. The leaks and moisture must be addressed before the home can be sold.
Proper drainage system will give the water a place to go and a way to escape, encapsulation with a vapor barrier will keep rain and ground water from getting in to the conditioned space.
A clean crawl space is healthier for the structure and the family above, adds additional space, and additional value to the home.
The type of door that shields your basement or crawlspace from the outside environment is very important. After this home's crawlspace was encapsulated, installing the EverLast Door was the "cherry on top". The EverLast door is 1/2' thick and will NEVER rot or need painting. It also seals off outside air, keeping the crawlspace dry!
The EverLast door is a much better choice than the wood door the family had before, because the old door did not protect the home from outside drafts, nor critters who can crawl through the cracks.
These Tennessee homeowners were worried about the health of their crawl space. The soil was often moist and they knew that excessive moisture was not good for their wood supporting joists. They also started to notice a mildew aroma lofting in their crawl space.
They decided to look up crawl space specialists and found us!
Our trained inspector came out to their home and inspected their crawl space, took moisture tests and also took photos for reference.
After he thoroughly inspected the space, he sat down and discussed to the homeowners what he found and what products we had that could help them!
They agreed that a full encapsulation was exactly what their home, their health, and their energy bills needed!

The homeowners had a problem with excessive moisture in their crawl space. This problem was causing their wood beams to weaken and mold to grow. They had first noticed a mildew aroma in their living quarters and decided to check out their crawl space a little closer. They decided the best people to do this inspection were experts!
The homeowners had seen our job vans around with our job logo and job specifications. Since our name and our FREE inspections deal stuck in their mind, they called us!
Our inspector came out to their home to meet them and talk about their issues. He went under their home and took a few photos and a moisture test. Their wood moisture content level was at 40%! It was a good thing that they called when they did, because any longer and they might've needed stabilizers to support their home's weight when the wood beams failed due to rot and decay. Our inspector addressed the moisture issue and recommended our encapsulation system to them as well as some supporting products to ensure they wouldn't have problems again! They liked everything he recommended and agreed to have them installed!
He also told them about our nearly indestructible EverLast Crawl Space Doors. At the time they had just a plain wooden door. Unfortunately, this type of door allows insect and rodent pests to enter the crawl space, along with cold winter air that can make your floors frigid. Plus, they can easily mold, warp, and need re-painting. On the other hand, our EverLast door is made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic. The air and water seal is certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weatherstripping that comes with each door. Once you tighten down the installation knobs, you can feel confident that the interior of your crawl space is protected and fully isolated from exterior critters and conditions.
The homeowners love their new and improved space! They are so glad to have their peace of mind back again!
