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

This customer in Pegram, TN called Frontier due to sagging floors and cracks around their door frames and sticky doors. When crawl spaces are damp, humid, or experience flooding, they become an ideal environment for mold and rot. Termites, carpenter ants, wood-eating beetles, and other damaging insects may also feed on organic materials in the crawl space. As the wood deteriorates, it will no longer be able to support your home, leading to significant structural damage. In many cases, a failing crawl space structure can be resolved by installing crawl space supports, like SmartJacks. After we make structural repairs we address the moisture issues to ensure the problem is solved. In this home we sealed the crawl space vents with SilverGlo panels, installed drainage matting, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now the crawl space is lifted, dry, and healthy.
