Wet and Dirty Crawl Space
Before calling Frontier, the client had an inadequate vapor barrier, causing a host of moisture issues including musty smells.
Mold on Walls
The moisture problems in this crawl space create an ideal environment for mold and mildew, leading to unhealthy air quality in the home.
Falling Insulation
Insulation is highly absorbent, and here you can see how it has fallen from between the joists due to becoming saturated with moisture.
Inadequate Crawl Space Door
An inadequate crawl space door, like this one, can quickly lead to moisture issues in your home. Metal or wood doors are susceptible to rust and rot and lack airtight seals, allowing humid air to enter the crawl space and increasing the overall humidity in your home.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System
The first step in our solution for this home was installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This efficient and powerful system is designed to handle the demands of keeping the space dry. Once installed, it will be thoroughly cleaned before we proceed with the vapor barrier installation.
Drainage Matting
Next, we installed drainage matting and CleanSpace walls. The drainage matting is essential for preventing water from becoming trapped beneath the vapor barrier, ensuring effective moisture management.
Insulation Removal
Our team then removed all the insulation between the joists. With the encapsulation in place, this insulation becomes unnecessary and could actually hinder effective moisture control.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
The CleanSpace vapor barrier isolates the crawl space from the ground, transforming it into a clean and bright area that eliminates the darkness and dampness of the past!
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier
We always recommend the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier with your encapsulation. This powerful system can remove up to 100 pints of moisture from the air daily, all while boasting a sleek design and energy efficient operation.
Exterior Drainage
The drainage system is directed to an outlet located far from the home, which is the most effective way to prevent water from pooling near the foundation and entering the crawl space.
IceGuard Discharge Line System
Finally, the drainage system is equipped with the IceGuard line, featuring an anti-freezing fitting to prevent blockages during the coldest months. With IceGuard, you can have peace of mind knowing your sump pump drainage will remain clear all year round.
