Most of the time the crawl space is only accessible through uncovered, or improperly covered openings to the outside. That can cause additional problems.
Open entrances are an invitation to wildlife and pests, who find in the crawl space shelter, food, water, warmth and the perfect conditions to nest and thrive. They may also provide access to other types of uninvited guests. Copper pipe theft through open crawl spaces for example, is becoming a concern in some neighborhoods.
Entrances covered with improvised wooden doors, not only fail to protect the crawl space, but also allow in lot of unconditioned air, which is known to cause moisture, mold and dry rot problems in crawl spaces.
Frontier Basement Systems provides two types of crawl space doors. For crawl spaces that are mostly above grade, the Everlast Crawl Space Door is a waterproof, sturdy and weather stripped door that air seals the crawl space entrance. For crawl spaces below grade, the Turtl system, which incorporates a lockable door and an access well is the best solution.
Turtl and Everlast Crawl Space doors are part of complete and permanent crawl space solutions offered exclusively by Frontier Basement Systems in Tennessee and Southwestern Kentucky.
