Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Clarksville, TN
This church in Clarksville, TN, was in need of a complete crawl space encapsulation and decided to reach out to Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for help. When our crew arrived on site, they found a cluttered crawl space with a damaged vapor barrier, standing water, and mold growth. First, we removed the damaged vapor barrier and other debris from the crawl space. We then placed EZ-Flow tubes around the crawl space's perimeter. These tubes will help guide water to the lowest part of the crawl space where it will flow into the newly installed sump pump. Our TripleSafe sump pump system was installed at the lowest part of the crawl space, with a drainage pipe running out of the crawl space and underneath the yard. We then rolled out drainage matting to further help with the flow of water out of the crawl space. On top of this matting and along the walls and columns, we applied our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Next, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity levels and prevent mold growth. To complete the encapsulation, we replaced the old wooden crawl space door with our Everlast crawl space door, which is made of inorganic materials that will not rot or rust.

Mold Growth
Mold thrives in dark, damp environment like a crawl space.
Standing Water
Standing water could be seen covering the existing barrier in the crawl space before encapsulation.
Installing EZ-Flow Tubing
Our EZ-Flow tubes help with draining water in the crawl space.
Installing The Sump Pump
We place the sump pump's liner in a sump pump pit that is then filled with clean gravel.
Drainage Matting
Our drainage matting has dimples in the material that help water flow underneath the vapor barrier and out of the crawl space.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is durable and resistant to damage.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
Our SaniDry Sedona crawl space dehumidifier is programmed to keep humidity levels under 55 percent.
Sump Pump After Installation
With the sump pump installed, the threat of flooding is eliminated as long as the pump is working properly.
