Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Albertville, AL

A homeowner in Albertville, AL, reached out to Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for a crawl space evaluation. Following an inspection, our system design specialist recommended encapsulating the space. Upon arrival, our crew removed the old, ineffective vapor barrier from the crawl space. They then laid drainage matting across the dirt floor, followed by installing our durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. For the walls and columns, a thinner version of CleanSpace, called "Wallie," was applied. To address high humidity levels, the crew installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The crawl space is now safeguarded against water intrusion.
