Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Wartrace, TN
This homeowner in Wartrace, TN, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to have their home's crawl space evaluated. After checking out the space, our system design specialist recommended an encapsulation. When our crew arrived on site, they started by removing the old vapor barrier as well as any debris. Once the dirt floor was completely exposed, our crew rolled drainage matting out across it. On top of the matting, we applied our CleanSpace vapor barrier. A thinner version of the CleanSpace, known as Wallie, was applied to the walls and around the columns of the crawl space. To prevent air from blowing in from the outside and mixing with the musty air of the crawl space, we applied our SilverGlo insulation panels to all open vents. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to combat high moisture levels.
