Middle Tennessee is known for its heavy thunderstorms that bring lots of of rain every once in a while. They can be good for our gardens, but not so good for our basement or crawl space. 

Homeowners of a home just outside of Springfield, Tennessee, noticed standing water in their basement every time it rained. They started looking for a reliable local waterproofing contractor with many years of experience. When they saw a Frontier ad, they took a closer look at our website and they didn't hesitate to give us a call and schedule a free inspection of their basement.

Our system design specialist thoroughly looked at the basement and was able to identify the issues. He recommended they use our waterproofing system with a sump pump that will pump water outside of the basement.

The installation went smooth and our experienced Frontier production team installed WaterGuard, TrenchDrain and TripleSafe Sump Pump. IceGuard was installed on the outside basement wall. The system connects to drain pipes that lead water outside to LawnScapeWell, where it escapes. We install it at least 8 feet away from the house to make sure water escapes far enough from the basement. 

With our waterproofing system, this basement stays dry even during heaviest rains!

Having a TripleSafe sump pump system is a great way to keep your crawl space or basement free of water during heavy thunderstorms. This system has been proven to keep water out during floods. If any water gets in the basement or crawl space from outside, it is collected by our pipe system, which leads it to the primary sump pump, called the TripleSafe Sump Pump. If for any reason TripleSafe fails, for example during a power outage, UltraSump4 saves the day!

UltraSump4 is a battery-operated, back-up pumping system designed to be a secondary, stand-by pump that operates when the AC power is interrupted or if the primary pump fails. Imagine the power goes out during a heavy storm, but the rain doesn't stop and your basement keeps getting flooded. Well, that's when the back-up pump starts working! 

When water rises to the level of the top of the float switch housing, the pump will automatically switch on and the alarm will sound to indicate UltraSump4 back-up operation. The alarm is very loud, designed this way to alert homeowners. They may not always be aware of what is going on underneath their house and that there is an extreme volume of water. We made sure each pump has an alarm that will notify them in such situation.

We provide annual maintenance on all sump pump systems to make sure it works how it should. We will maintain your sump pump system for you, always keeping your hands and basement clean and dry!

These homeowners were struggling with sinking problems on their entire driveway. One side was lower, the middle was high and the other side was low again. Wanting to get this fixed they contacted Frontier and we suggested PolyLevel injections. As you can see from the picture a lot of injections were needed but the results were amazing! The homeowners no longer need to stress.

Roger was having issues with his forever home. The hydrostatic pressure from the soil outside of his basement was causing his walls to bow and crack. This led to major flooding issues in his basement during heavy rains. He noticed the problem almost a year ago and it only got worse. After seeing mold growth and the cracks only getting longer, he decided it was time to call a professional before the structural integrity of his home was altered. 

Our trained inspector, Robert, met Roger and his wife at their home. Robert inspected the basement and home and then sat down with Roger and his wife to discuss solutions for his home. He had talked to them about solutions for their flood and bowing basement walls and also discussed products for lifting their settling home. They agreed that CarbonArmor and Push Piers was the best fit for their home!

The CarbonArmor system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.

Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.

Carlos's crew got to work and now Roger has peace of mind that he has deserved for a year! 
We are so glad to be able to find lasting solutions for homeowners!

Lance was having significant issues in his home due to the excessive moisture in his crawl space. He first noticed that something was wrong whenever his floors became bouncy and uneven. He had only lived in the 1985 home for two years but knew that when the signs of structural damage occur that it's best to fix it right away before it causes expensive problems in the future. 
Lance began to look on HomeAdvisor for structure repair companies and stumbled upon Frontier Basement Systems. He decided to take advantage of our free home inspections and left us his number to contact him. 
In no time our trained inspector, Robert, came to meet Lance at his home. Robert looked around the space and noted the moist soil ground in his crawl space, the open vent, and poorly supported wood beams. He came back to sit down with Lance and tell him exactly what he found and showed Lance photos to pinpoint the problem areas. 

Lance was ready to have to never worry about his home ever again. He agreed that his soil ground needed to be covered, his vent sealed, and proper supporting stabilizers. 

Brad and his crew installed SmartJacks to lift the floors back to the original position. Our stabilizers are made out of steel and have a galvanized coating to ensure no rusting occurs! They also made sure to encapsulate Lance's crawl space so the moisture in the unsealed soil ground doesn't evaporate into the home and damage the wood any further. A few more of our amazing nationally backed products were installed, like our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump and powerful SaniDry Sedona. Brad also replaced the old wood crawl space door with our nearly indestructible EverLast door. Their new crawl space door has a water and airtight seal, so Lance won't have to worry about moisture or critters getting in!

Now Lance has a clean and moisture-free crawl space that won't give him any more problems- only a peace of mind!

To start it is important to remove old insulation and other debris in the crawl space. The ground was regarded for drainage. 

To support the structure a supplemental beam and 3 Smart Jacks were installed. 

1125 square feet of Delta Drainage Matting &  20 mil Cleanspace Liner provide the vapor barrier and line the inside of the crawl space. 11 Piers are wrapped with Cleanspace. A small EverLast crawl space door closes off the crawl space from weather and pest. The door is made of non-organic material so it will not mold, mildew, rot, or rust. 

TripleSafe Complete sump pump system; including 2 pumps and UltraSump was installed to collect and redirect water. A 4' discharge line was buried to run away from the home releasing it safely further away from the foundation. IceGuard Outlets just outside the foundation wall allow water to escape should freezing or clogging of the lines ever happen. The LawnScape Outlet cover is flat so it does not obstruct the yard and preventing foreign objects from blocking the end. 

 A SaniDry CX Crawlspace Air System Dehumidifier will handle the home owner’s humidity concerns and make the air quality much better. The improvement in air quality will be noticed upstairs as well. 

This crawl space looks beautiful, moisture is controlled, and the home is healthy! 

This customer's home constantly felt humid inside and a result from that, the utillity bill was sky high. After much research, this homeowner reached out to Frontier for an inspection to figure out why the home constantly felt hot and humid.

After the inspection, the homeowner learned that since the crawl space was not properly encapsulated, humid air was leaking through the walls and rising up into the home. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation system and the homeowner saw such a change in the temperature through the house.

We were able to stop the leaking in this basement with our WaterGaurd and Sump Pump system!
