Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Clarksville, TN
This homeowner in Clarksville, TN, was suffering from the effects of an unprotected crawl space, such as bouncy floors from the wood joists rotting due to moisture damage. In addition to rotting and broken wood, mold was also found inside the crawl space. This combination of water and organic materials can lead to musty odors that will penetrate the floors and seep into the living areas of the home. To protect their crawl space and prevent further damage, the homeowner contacted us at Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair. We removed any debris found in the crawl space before rolling out drainage matting across the dirt floor. As the drainage matting is being rolled out, another crew member applies the CleanSpace vapor barrier to the walls and floor. The crawl space air vents were closed and insulated with SilverGlo insulation panels, preventing bad air from entering the crawl space and going up into the home. To eliminate mold growth and control humidity, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This crawl space is now protected from the elements and moisture.

Mold Growth

Wood Rot
Moisture soaks into wood where it begins to cause it to rot and break apart.
Open Crawl Space Vent
Open crawl space vents allow dirty air to enter where it will cycle up through the home and out the roof continuously.
Drainage Matting
The grooves in drainage matting direct water into a drainage system.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
A crawl dehumidifier controls moisture levels, keeping them under 50 percent.
Crawl Space Jacks
Crawl space jacks add more support to the floor above the crawl space, which prevents sagging.
