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

This customer in Nashville, TN called Frontier due to mold and moisture issues in their crawl space. To mitigate the problems, we cleaned up the debris, removed the wet insulation in the crawl space, and treated the mold. After the mold was treated we started on the moisture issues. To prevent the problem from reoccurring we installed Drainage matting, CleanSpace liner over the walls, and a new SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

Mold and Moisture

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

Old Vapor Barrier

This old vapor barrier is not doing anything to prevent moisture issues as evident by the falling insulation, muddy floor and mold growth.

Moisture Level of Wood

Checking the moisture levels in the wooden floor joists to see what damage has been caused. This will help us choose the right products to fix this crawl space.

Drainage Matting

Drainage matting is installed. This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

Crawl Space Vents Sealed

Sealing your crawl space vents with Silver Glow panels and spray foam insulation stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.

Piers Wrapped and Insulated

Piers are wrapped in CleanSpace® poly to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.

CleanSpace® System

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

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.

Project Complete

This project is now complete, the crawl space door will be put back and this client now has a dry moisture free crawl space. This will help with energy efficiency in the home, give them extra storage space, and maintain the integrity of the support piers and whole home structure.
