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

This customer in Gallatin, TN called Frontier for their crawl space waterproofing. After inspection, we recommended a full encapsulation. To start the project we cleaned all the debris out of the crawl space. Next, we installed drainage matting on the floors, CleanSpace over that and up the walls, sealed all the vents, and installed a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Since there was a sidewalk where the IceGuard and LawnScape needed to go, we installed a Trench drain on the concrete, and the drainage lines were buried under the concrete. This is where the water will lead, out into the yard away from the structure and surrounding sidewalk. To finish the project we reframed the crawl space door and installed a new secure EverLast door.
