Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Bethpage, TN
When a homeowner in Bethpage, TN, decided to have their crawl space assessed, they reached out to Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair. Upon inspection, we found significant water damage indicators, including mold, wood rot, and water stains on the concrete walls. To prevent further damage, encapsulating the crawl space was essential. Our process began with the removal of the outdated vapor barrier. We then laid down drainage matting on the dirt floor to manage any moisture accumulation. On top of the matting, we meticulously installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier, extending it across the floor, up the walls, and around any structural supports like jacks or pillars. This comprehensive installation helps create a sealed environment that prevents moisture. To address the high humidity in the crawl space, we installed a SaniDry Sedona crawl space dehumidifier. Now, the space is cleaner and easier for the homeowner to access.
Crawl Space Entrance
The entrance to the crawl space was located underneath the home's back deck.
Dirty Vapor Barrier
Before the encapsulation, the vapor barrier in the crawl space was dirty and not sealed properly.
Crawl Space Vent
Open crawl space vents allow outside air to flow into the crawl space and mix with the space's musty air. This air then flows up into the living areas of the home.
Wood Rot
The wooden structures in the space were showing clear signs of wood rot.
Drainage Matting
The grooves in the drainage matting help guide water under the vapor barrier and out of the crawl space.
