Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Manchester, TN
When homeowners in Manchester, TN, discovered symptoms of a wet crawl space, such as musty odors and mold, they contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for help. Once our crew reached the site and entered the crawl space, they noticed a huge problem. Standing water plagued the space, even overtaking the existing sump pump. Our crew got straight to work to rid the crawl space of the dirty water. As soon as the water was removed, drainage matting was placed on the dirt floor. A CleanSpace vapor barrier was laid over the drainage matting and along the crawl space walls. The concrete pillars holding up the crawl space were also wrapped with the sleek vapor barrier. With the water gone, the partially submerged sump pump was replaced with a new TripleSage Single sump pump to ensure standing water would be flushed out if it found its way into the crawl space. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to combat excess moisture and the harmful effects that come from it, such as mold. Because the homeowners acted quickly, they were able to turn their flooded crawl space into a moisture-free area.
