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

This customer in Joelton, TN, called Frontier due to moisture issues in their crawl space. We cleaned out all the debris, installed Drainage matting, covered the crawl space in CleanSpace liner, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and sealed the crawl space vents and any other air leaks with SilverGlo panels and spray foam insulation. We used RimTite Joist Insulation Spray Foam, where the wet insulation was removed, and added more SilverGlo panels to the exterior wall for extra insulation. We finished this project with a new EverLast crawl space door.

Moisture Issues

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

Mold Issues

Due to the moisture levels, mold has started to grow on the wooden floor joists. If the moisture isn't controlled, this mold will continue to grow and rot the wood away.

Drainage Matting Installed

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

RimTite Joist Insulation Spray Foam

We used RimTite Joist Insulation Spray Foam, where the wet insulation was removed, to add extra insulation.

SilverGlo Panels

SilverGlo panels are installed on the exterior-facing walls for extra insulation. SilverGlo™ combines highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. This gives your crawl space walls an unbroken plane of R-11 insulation, while sealing your walls from outside moisture and humidity infiltration.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

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.

Crawl Space Sealed

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 that 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.
