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

This customer in Antioch, TN called Frontier due to moisture issues in their crawl space. To mitigate the moisture issues, we completed a crawl space encapsulation. We cleaned out all the debris, installed Drainage matting, covered the crawl space in CleanSpace liner, installed a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and sealed the crawl space vents and any other air leaks with SilverGlo panels and spray foam insulation.

Moisture Damage

You can see the physical signs of moisture damage in this crawl space. The vapor barrier is muddy and ripped apart. There are water lines at the bottom of the concrete piers where water is seeping out.

Crawl Space Debris

This old vapor barrier and the rest of the crawl space debris will be cleaned out before this project begins.

Moisture Readings

Taking moisture readings in the wood floor joists. This gives us an accurate picture of how much water has been absorbed in the wooden floor joists. This will lead to wood rot and mold issues.

Drainage Matting

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

Piers Wrapped

After drainage matting is installed the support piers are wrapped in CleanSpace liner.

CleanSpace

One of the key ingredients in our encapsulation system is the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier
