Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Joelton, TN

In Joelton, TN, a home grappled with persistent moisture issues plaguing its crawl space. Before encapsulation, the relative humidity (RH%) soared to 80%, fostering an environment ripe for mold and structural damage. The wood moisture content soared to alarming rates, reaching up to 21%, a common occurrence in crawl spaces due to inadequate ventilation and ground moisture infiltration. To combat these challenges, our team implemented a comprehensive solution. We began by laying down drainage matting, facilitating proper water dispersion and preventing pooling beneath the crawl space. Over this, we installed a durable CleanSpace Liner, 20mil thick, effectively reducing moisture and humidity while sealing off the space from ground moisture. To manage water accumulation, we integrated a Triple Safe Sump Pump, complemented by the IceGuard and Drainage System to ensure uninterrupted water discharge, even in freezing conditions. The LawnScape System directed water away from the foundation, preserving its stability. The installation of the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier regulated humidity levels, maintaining them at a healthy 55%, significantly improving air quality. As a final touch, we replaced the old door with a new EverLast Door, crafted from airtight 1/2 inch thick PVC plastic, further sealing the crawl space. Witness the transformative power of our comprehensive crawl space repair project and reclaim a healthier, more resilient home environment.

Old Crawl Space Door

The old crawl space door, fashioned from organic material, is susceptible to both moisture damage and pest intrusion.

Moisture Crawl Space

The musty moisture-laden crawl space before our encapsulation intervention. Witness the damp, inhospitable conditions that foster mold growth and compromise structural integrity.

High Humidity

The relative humidity has surged to a staggering 80%. This elevated humidity level creates a prime breeding ground for mold growth and poses significant risks to the structural integrity of the space.

Consequence of Excessive Moisture

The presence of mold highlights the dire consequences of unchecked humidity levels, posing threats to both structural integrity and indoor air quality, of which 50% is what you breathe on the first floor

High Wood Moisture Content

The wood moisture content has reached a concerning level of 21%, posing potential hazards such as structural compromise and heightened susceptibility to mold growth.

Drainage Matting

Drainage matting is designed to facilitate proper water drainage and prevent pooling beneath the crawl space. By creating a barrier between the ground and the crawl space, drainage matting helps to mitigate moisture issues, reduce humidity levels, and prevent water-related damage to the structure.

20mil Thick CleanSpace Liner

Installed over drainage matting, it serves as a formidable defense against moisture and humidity infiltration. Completely sealed from the ground up, the CleanSpace Liner creates an impermeable barrier, effectively preventing moisture from seeping into the crawl space.

Triple Safe Sump Pump

This triple protection system ensures continuous operation and provides peace of mind, even during power outages or pump failures. The Triple Safe Sump Pump offers unparalleled reliability and ensures a dry, protected crawl space environment.

IceGuard and Drainage sytem

This combined approach provides homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that their crawl space remains dry and protected year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier

Engineered to combat excess moisture and humidity levels, it effectively regulates indoor air quality to create a healthier living environment.

EverLast Door

Constructed from 1/2 inch thick PVC plastic, this door effectively seals off the crawl space, preventing moisture, pests, and outside air from infiltrating the space.
