Another crawl space encapsulation in Joelton, TN!
This home had mold growth that was eating away at the homes' foundation. The homeowner decided to have Fontier Basement Systems come and encapsulate his wet crawl space. His crawl space is now mold-free, and energy-efficient!
This Nashville family had owned their home for 16 years and just started noticing mold within the past month.
Their main concern was the mold growing on their piers, which is detrimental to their home's foundation. They also had noticed some musty odors that they wanted to eliminate.
The musty odor is coming from the mold, which is due to high humidity in the crawl space.
Our go-to solution for these issues is installing the CleanSpace Liner and Drainage Matting.
The CleanSpace Liner Benefits are:
It reduces moisture and humidity
Helps seal out cold winter drafts (which will reduce heating costs!)
Extremely durable (20mil thick, 7 layer polyethylene composition)
And the Drainage Matting will give rainwater a channel to flow from under the liner and into the crawl space drain or sump pump system.
The family now has an encapsulated crawl space that will ensure no more mold will grow, nor will bring its stinky odor with it!
This Tennessee crawl space had a big problem with moisture. Thankfully, the homeowners saw the signs before it caused major structural damage. Their wood beams in the space were wet and moldy, and there was a musty, damp smell lingering upstairs. They were very worried about wood rot/failure, so they went searching for a company that could fix their moisture issue. The homeowners stumbled on our website and liked our encapsulation process. They wanted to learn more about it in person and see if it could be their crawl space solution! They took advantage of our free inspection and called our appointment center. We had our trained and very friendly inspector, John, come out to meet them. John looked around their space, took a few moisture and humidity tests, and then sat down with the homeowners to talk about what he found and how our encapsulation products could help them! After talking to John more about our products, they agreed that they were exactly what they needed!
Products Installed:
SmartDrain-Any water that enters the space can be directed towards the drain, where it enters a special ball-and-cup design and is drained beneath the space into a bed of gravel that allows the water to flow into a dry well and seep into the soil below.
CleanSpace Liner- 20mil thick liner with 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement. It is made to reduce moisture and humidity in the crawl space.
Drainage Matting-The raised dimples on our CleanSpace Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding your crawl space to your perimeter drain or sump pump.
SaniDry Sedona- The world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system (without a bulky heat exchange core). When installed in your basement or crawl space, the Sedona will help prevent mold and reduce musty odors, giving you dry healthy air and total comfort.
The homeowners now have a dry and healthy crawl space that they no longer need to worry about! Plus, they are now breathing in much healthier air that has no musty components!

This Tennessee family had a very damp and dirty crawl space. It was rotting their wood piers away and causing their floors upstairs to become "bouncy". They were ready to have a solution, so they called us up and we scheduled them a free appointment with one of our inspectors.
The inspector and homeowners agreed that an encapsulation needed to be done. He also told them how crucial it was to have a good crawl space door, especially with a newly encapsulated space.
EverLast crawl space doors from Basement Systems are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Several different door colors are available to help you match your home’s exterior color scheme. Standard sizes are available, but your Basement Systems contractor can also order and install a custom-size door. Small doors are usually installed with a couple of weatherproof threaded knobs that come with the door. Larger doors require 4 knobs.
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. 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 family loves having their crawl space encapsulated and they feel much better knowing their door is just as reliable as the encapsulation!
