Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Mount Juliet, TN

This customer in Mount Juliet, TN called Frontier due to moisture issues and crawl space support failures. After addressing the sinking crawl space issue with Smart Jacks, we proceeded with waterproofing the crawl space. This project included debris removal of the old vapor barrier and wet insulation between the floor joists. Once the crawl space was cleared, we added Drainage matting to the floors, followed by CleanSpace on the walls, and floors, and wrapped around piers. We sealed the vents with SilverGlo panels and sealed off any air leaks with spray foam insulation and lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona to pull any excess moisture from the air. Now they have a healthy, dry, structurally sound crawl space.

Crawl Space Before Project

Obvious signs of moisture in the crawl space, from the wet vapor barrier to the dripping insulation.

Moisture Readings

Taking moisture level readings in the crawl space to get an accurate picture of how much outside air and moisture is coming in.

Additional Testing

We will take moisture reading on the outside of the home, then the inside of the crawl space, the insulation, and directly into the wood floor joists. This gives us a complete picture of what is going on and how to proceed.

Waterproofing Project Starting

Here, the old vapor barrier has been removed, all the wet insulation as well. We have stabilized the structure with SmartJacks, and now started waterproofing by wrapping the piers in CleanSapce liner.

CleanSpace

CleanSpace is being installed on the walls of the crawl space.

Drainage Matting

Drainage matting is now added to the floor so if any water rises up from the ground it will flow under the matting, not into the crawl space to be absorbed into the air.

CleanSpace Liner

CleanSpace liner is added to walls, floors, and wrapped around the piers. You can see the technician securing it together with specialized tape.

CleanSpace Installation Complete

The entire crawl space is now encapsulated with the CleanSpace liner. Look at the difference, the space is so clean and dry now! It can now be a usable space for storage, while also protecting the home from moisture and mold and foundational issues.
