Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Antioch, TN

This homeowner in Antioch, TN, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to have their home's crawl space inspected for water intrusion. After inspecting the space, our system design specialist recommended that the homeowner have the crawl space encapsulated. When our crew arrived at the home, they began removing all debris from the crawl space, including the old vapor barrier. Drainage matting was placed on top of the damp dirt floor. On top of the matting, we applied our durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. Along the walls and around columns, we applied a thinner version of our CleanSpace. To combat the high humidity and prevent further mold growth, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
