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

In Franklin, TN, a home was plagued by musty odors infiltrating their living room from the crawl space below. Beginning with encapsulation, we completely sealed the crawl space off from the ground, effectively preventing moisture intrusion. Given the high wood moisture content in the area, a breeding ground for mold growth, we took decisive measures to safeguard the space. This included wrapping walls and foundation pillars, laying down drainage matting for effective moisture management, and installing a resilient CleanSpace Liner, 20 mil thick, over the matting to further reduce moisture and humidity levels. Additionally, we sealed off vents with SilverGlo insulation to enhance energy efficiency and maintain a controlled environment within the crawl space. As a final touch, we installed a new EverLast Door, crafted from 1/2 inch thick PVC plastic, ensuring an airtight seal. For homeowners in need of crawl space solutions, we offer free inspections with no obligation to address any concerns and provide tailored recommendations.

Original Crawl Space

The original state of the crawl space prior to our intervention. With no encapsulation or moisture barriers in place, the space was vulnerable to moisture intrusion, leading to musty odors and potential structural issues.

Mold Growth

Mold can be seen thriving on organic materials within the untreated crawl space. The presence of moisture and organic matter creates an ideal environment for mold growth, posing health risks and structural concerns. By sealing off the space from external moisture and humidity, encapsulation prevents the conditions necessary for mold proliferation.

Drainage Matting

The dimpled texture of the drainage matting serves a critical role in directing water away from the crawl space and towards the sump pump for efficient removal. By creating a pathway for moisture to migrate away from the crawl space, this innovative solution helps prevent water buildup and potential damage.

CleanSpace Liner

With a substantial thickness of 20 mil, this durable liner is meticulously laid over the drainage matting, forming a seamless shield that safeguards the crawl space from moisture and humidity. By encapsulating the crawl space with the CleanSpace Liner, we ensure comprehensive protection against mold growth, structural decay, and musty odors.

Sealed Vents with SilverGlo

The vents are sealed with SilverGlo insulation in this enlightening image. Sealing vents is paramount in crawl space encapsulation as it helps maintain consistent temperatures, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes the risk of moisture infiltration, mold growth, and structural damage.

Encapsulated Crawl Space

Completely sealed from the ground up, this encapsulation system creates a barrier that safeguards the crawl space and the home above from the detrimental effects of excess moisture. By effectively sealing off the crawl space from external elements, such as groundwater and soil moisture, this encapsulation solution reduces the risk of mold growth, structural damage, and indoor air quality issues.
