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

This prior customer from Brentwood, TN initially sought our services for foundation repair, prompted by sagging floors and exterior brick cracks on their home. To rectify these issues, we expertly installed SmartJack Stabilizers crafted from galvanized steel, effectively lifting the structure back to its original position. However, persistent moisture concerns in their crawl space led them to enlist our assistance once more. Upon thorough inspection, our specialists discovered significant puddles of moisture and an alarming humidity level of 88%, posing risks of elevated wood moisture content and potential structural damage. Over this foundation, we installed the CleanSpace Liner, a 20-mil thickness, which serves as a formidable barrier against moisture and humidity, completely sealing the area from the ground below. Furthermore, to mitigate the risk of external moisture intrusion, we meticulously sealed off vents utilizing SilverGlo insulation, ensuring optimal protection against moisture infiltration. To protect against potential water accumulation, we integrated a Triple Safe Sump Pump system, designed to efficiently evacuate any standing water and mitigate the risk of flooding. Complementing these efforts, we introduced the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, engineered to maintain ideal humidity levels within the crawl space, effectively mitigating moisture-related issues and fostering a healthier environment. As a final measure, we installed a new EverLast Door specifically designed for crawl spaces, featuring an airtight seal constructed from durable 1/2-inch thick PVC plastic, ensuring optimal insulation and protection against external elements.

Excess Moisture

The presence of moisture in this enclosed area can lead to a cascade of detrimental effects if left unaddressed over time. Persistent moisture accumulation fosters an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth, posing serious health risks to occupants and compromising indoor air quality.

Humidity Hazard

The humidity level in the original crawl space has soared to a staggering 88%. Such high humidity levels pose significant risks to the structural integrity and overall health of the environment. By implementing our encapsulation techniques and installing a powerful dehumidifier system, we aim to reduce the humidity level to a safe and optimal 55%, mitigating the risk of moisture-related damage and fostering a healthier living environment for all.

Previous Foundation Work

From our previous work, we installed SmartJack Stabilizers made from galvanized steel. These robust stabilizers represent a critical intervention in addressing foundation issues, effectively lifting the structure back to its original position. With this transformative solution in place, the building stands strong and stable, ready to withstand the test of time. Now, onto addressing the moisture issues in the crawl space.
