This customer in Columbia, TN was having mold, moisture, and wood rotting issues in their crawl space and decided on going with our full crawl space encapsulations to remedy the issue so they never need to worry about it again. Our technicians came in, got rid of the mold, cleaned out the wet insulation, and installed a few SmartJacks to shore up some settlement of the home. Then they installed SilverGlo panels along the wall, put in drainage matting, covered it with our CleanSpace matting over the floor and walls, and even wrapped the piers. In Addition to this, they sealed the air vents and added a Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier along with a new crawl space door. This completely seals off the crawl space and home from the earth beneath it and ensures no moisture or mold issues will return.
This customer in Columbia, TN had foundation settlement issues in her exterior-facing garage wall area. To prevent further sinking, cracking, and bowing our team installed Push Piers to support the foundation from underneath. They also added The power Brace wall system to the wall to stabilize it and add more support. This should be a permanent solution to her settlement issues in this area of the home.
Rebuilding damaged walls may seem like the obvious (and expensive) answer, but even new walls will fail if the soil conditions are not changed.
Wall anchors can counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside your home. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall, wall anchors can even be used to straighten walls.
We received a call from the homeowner of a home in Columbia, Tennessee. She was upset about the basement that had several issues, all together creating a big problem. The foundation walls developed large cracks, and water and moisture that got in the basement every time it rained caused mold growing all around. The homeowners knew the bad moist air that carries mold particles travels from the basement up to the area where they live, and causes allergies to the whole family.
When our design specialist arrived to inspect the basement, he identified the weak spots around the basement through which water was getting inside. He explained our solution, and they agreed to waterproof the basement and stabilizing the walls.
We started with installation of GeoLock Anchors to stabilize the basement walls. The cracks were really big and we are glad they called us early on, before the walls got so bad they would start bowing.
The WaterGuard system was installed to control water in the basement. WaterGuard is a system of pipes that is installed along the perimeters of the basement walls that catches water from all sides and leads it to the sump pump. The TripleSafe pumps water outside the basement, at least 10 feet away from the house. SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier controls humidity levels in the air. To complete our waterproofing system and make sure no moisture threatens this Columbia basement, we installed CleanSpace moisture barrier on all four basement walls!
A family in Columbia, Tennessee, noticed moisture and mold in their basement. They didn’t hesitate and gave us a call. We determined that the best way to get rid of the problems permanently was to install our ultimate waterproofing system WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a system of pipes that are specially designed to never clog while collecting unwanted water from the basement. After the water is collected, it flows into the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which is located in the lowest spot of the basement. Naturally, water flows downhill, so we want to always position the sump pump strategically and use the physics in our favor. The pump ensures that all water goes up, away from the basement, where it escapes on a lawn, at least 10 feet away from the house. These few simple steps guarantee the basement is now 100% safe from the water! In addition to the WaterGuard, we also installed the BrightWall Paneling System on the basement walls. Acting as a vapor barrier, the BrightWall will never rot, warp or discolor. Any water passing through the wall from wall cracks will run behind the panel down to the waterproofing system below. BrightWall added a nice finished touch to this basement with its light color!
Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair uses NexusPro sealant, a silicone-based sealant that is more resistant to UV rays.
Kandi H. and her husband had lived in their 1950's home for 18 years. The former resident also had been experiencing issues a few years prior. Kandi had noticed water coming in from the perimeter of two of the walls in the basement anytime it rained! They've had to deal with a foot of water in their basement after an especially heavy rainfall. Because of the excessive amount of standing water mold has began to grow. This will only lead to wood structures weakening and VERY unhealthy breathing air.
Over the summer they decided they did not want to have to worry about it anymore! They did some research and found us!
Our crew installed our waterproofing products--the WaterGuard, TripleSafe Pump, and the Sedona Dehumidifier. These products are essential to keeping your basement dry! The WaterGuard collects the water from the ground and perimeter walls, the TripleSafe pump pumps the water out of your home, and the dehumidifier stops mold growth, musty odors & dust mites!!
Kandi and her husband are happy now that they have a peace of mind and a dry basement in their forever home!
This home in Columbia TN was built in 1973, however an addition was added in 1979. The family had lived in the home since it was built 43 years ago and had no plans of leaving. About 4 or 5 years ago the family noticed some bricks falling off the addition, along with shifts and movements of the brick on the original section of the home. Seeding that the problems were only getting worse the family was worried the house might fall.
The addition to the house did not have a solid foundation the earth below was no longer holding the weight. As the add on sank it was pulling and twisting on the original section. The stress and shifting had cause damage all throughout the home. Bricks could no longer hold, support beams underneath had given out, the garage door was out of line and couldn't stay on its tracks. Drywall and doors were also effected inside the home.
The Accomplish List:
Repair the addition
Raise Steps
Repair brick cracks

This Columbia home was having trouble with water in its crawl space. The home was purchased 4 months ago and the new owner noticed standing water. He does go intp the crawl space sometimes and knows there are leaks. He has not noticed any mold yet, but because they do have asthma and allergies, they already have a dehumidifier running.
The home owner wants the drainage pipe in a straight line on the right side of the home, despite the little inset in the crawl wall. He will have the walls re-foamed after the work is completed. He also asked if we could seal a small hole in his back wall, close to the door. It's maybe 3 or 4 inch circumference.
He had a contractor take a look at his concerns but was not satisfied with the advice and was interested in a sump pump and proper drainage.
The home did have spray foam insulation around the crawl space walls and a vapor barrier covering the ground but was not truly encapsulated. The liner had holes for wires and pipes to pass through, allowing for water to enter as well.
The Plan:
Smart Pipe without gravel. The discharge line runs the interior of the crawl space, the pipe collects water from the soil and surface of the crawl space perimeter and drains to the sump pump.
TripleSafe Single (M53 pump only): A 1/3 HP cast iron Zoeller M53 Sump Pump with a mechanical float switch. This will sit on top of a clean pump stand inside the pump liner.
IceGuard: The Iceguard assures the discharge line will function if the lines freeze or get blocked.
LawnScape Outlet: The discharge line runs out and away from the home ending with a LawnScape outlet.
The crews were very careful not to tear liner foamed into wall or with as little tear as possible, understanding the crews must go underneath the liner to do the install.
For now this home owner has peace of mind knowing his crawl space has a proper water management system in place. He is confident with the results and happy to know his home is healthier.
In the future we will come back to encapsulate the crawl space properly.
A home owner in Columbia Tennessee having trouble with leaks, mold, and sagging floors was looking for a solution. They wanted their home fixed right.
They had seen cracks in ceiling and drywall as well. The hallway, bathroom, and back room were the main concerns but wanted to make sure the whole house is level.
The more the floors sagged in the middle the larger the cracks on walls and ceiling became. The house was no longer square and the worse it got the more it was pulling apart from itself.
The first step was to focus on securing the structure of the home. Providing support in the center to relieve the tension on the rest of the structure.
A supplemental I Beam W4x13x13 was installed to support the weight.
Smart Jacks were placed to stabilize and lift the beam.
With a beam to hold the weight and jacks to support the beam this home is level again. The home owners were able to breathe easy knowing the home was solid once again.
