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

This customer in Cottontown, TN, called Frontier to help with moisture issues in their crawl space. Even though they had a vapor barrier, it was not helping with the moisture. To fix their moisture issues we removed the old vapor barrier, installed drainage matting and put in Clean Space liner. We also added a Sedona Sanidry dehumidifier. Crawl space sealing and insulation will help you avoid unnecessary repairs, create a healthier living space, and save money on your utility bills. And once you've encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you've gained valuable storage space in your home.

Moisture Readings

High moisture or humidity levels inside a crawl space can lead to problems like mold growth and wood rot. When we do our inspections we will take readings from inside the crawl space, the wood floor joists, the outside air, and the first floor of the home. The calculations will give us an accurate picture of what is going on and the best way to treat it.

Dripping Insulation

Moisture, mold and falling, failing insulation are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed.

Debris Removal

All the debris has been removed and we have wrapped all the piers with CleanSpace liner and sealed them with spray foam insulation.

Installation Process of Drainage Matting

Drainage matting is being laid down over the crawl space floor after the piers are wrapped with CleanSpace.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

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.

Sealing Vents and Air Leaks

Sealing your crawl space vents stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.

The SaniDry Sedona

The Sedona easily fits in small crawl spaces, yet has a powerful blower to effectively dry large crawl spaces. Mold and mildew are common in crawl spaces, but the Sedona keeps the relative humidity below 55%, so mold won't stand a chance. As a high-efficiency dehumidifier, the Sedona removes more moisture (100 pints per day) for less electricity cost than conventional models.
