Reliable Crawl Space & Basement Waterproofing in Wilson County, TN

A homeowner in Watertown TN called in concerned about the walls in the basement leaking. The home was built in 1966 with block walls. The sections of the wall underground leaks with all wet weather. The homeowner had tried a number of different fixes and continued to have water in the basement to clean up after every rain.

Our inspector went out and took a look at the home to determine the cause. After a full inspection it was determined the block walls was in fact allowing moisture in to the home. And that waterproofing the foundation would solve the needs of the homeowner. Addressing the problem from the inside made the most sense. An appointment was set for production crew to come out and start work.

The crew dug a drain path along the interior walls of the basement and set the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a specially designed piping system engineered specifically to be a very efficient, long-lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. By sitting on top of the footing wet dirt, or mud, cannot get into the drain. The flange that lies next to the wall has spacers along the backside to ensure proper function and look nice. After the system was set, the crew laid new concrete across the top and smoothed out to create an even and attractive floor.

The homeowner no longer has to worry about what is on the floor of his basement or how much water will be pooling after each rain. The space is safe and usable, solving his problem and increasing the value of his home.

Patios are a great place to sit and enjoy family and nice weather.

However, if the concrete slab of the patio is sinking and settling awkwardly it can cause frustrations.

This patio in Mount Juliet Tennessee was showing signs of the settlement.

Concrete settlement may happen for a number of reasons but the most likely cause changes in the earth below the slab.

As the dirt compacts or washes away it leaves a void and over time the weight of the concrete with the force of gravity will naturally sink. This causes some areas to sink and larger sections to crack.

The family of this home in Mt Juliet wanted to cover their patio but understood the importance of repairing the concrete patio first.

The purpose of this concrete repair job was to route water away from the home so they could enjoy the covered patio together and be certain that the home's foundation was not being damaged by the water pooling against that backside of the home.

Frontier was able to inject PolyLevel an expanding polyurethane foam under the lower areas that had sunk to lift and level the slabs.

Our NexusPro sealant was used to seal those cracks and prevent water from seeping into the earth below causing additional washout and further sinking.

With the concrete repaired this family can move on with their project and enjoy this outdoor space even more!

Customer had poor drainage which resulted in pooling water and moisture issues. How we corrected the problem for the customer:  Install TripleSafe Liner, Air Tight Lid Kit with WaterWatch Alarm in crawl space to identify future plumbing leaks. * Install CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system in area shown on drawing. The CleanSpace Liner is a very tough 20 mil. vapor barrier with polyester cord reinforcement and a mold inhibitor woven into the liner. Prior to installation of the liner, all penetrations through the exterior foundation walls including the foundation vents will be sealed using either closed cell spray foam or polyurethane caulking. All organic debris and sharp objects will be removed from the crawlspace floor. The CleanSpace liner will cover the entire floor in the area shown. CleanSpace Wall liner is 12mil thick and will be attached to all walls and up to 10 concrete piers per 1000 SqFt in the crawlspace area. All seams will be sealed, and the top edge will be sealed to the walls. Drainage Matting is included and provides a buffer between the CleanSpace liner and the earth allowing drainage to pass across the crawl space floor, and below the CleanSpace Liner, which helps to control groundwater seepage and adds durability to the CleanSpace liner. * Install CleanSpace Drainage Matting under CleanSpace liner. * Remove Debris up to 1,000 square feet. * Install SaniDry Sedona Basement Air System as indicated in job diagram, to keep humidity low. The SaniDry will be drained into existing drainage system. The SaniDry Sedona is a revolutionary, Energy Star rated dehumidification system designed to lower humidity while removing dust, odors and mold spores from the air.

Zachary noticed moisture on the foundation in the crawlspace under his house. He knew it was just a question of time when the moisture would result in mold spreading all around the area. What is worse, the air from under the house circulates and gets upstairs to the living area, and Zachary and his family breath it every day. If the air contains mold particles, it can cause allergies and asthma. He decided to call Frontier Foundation and Crawl Space Repair to help him find a solution.

After carefully examining the area, our team decided to encapsulate the whole space and install a dehumidifier. The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System dramatically transformed the area into a healthy, usable space. First, our team cleaned the site from all organic material that would cause mold and rot underneath the system if exposed to water. Then, a dimpled polyethylene membrane was installed under the layer of the CleanSpace liner. Last but not least, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to control the humidity in the crawl space to prevent mold from spreading.

Finding cracks in your basement is never a fun sight to see. It immediately raises red flags and concerns. Your head may start exploding with questions: What is a possible cause of these cracks? Is my house falling apart? Is the repair going to break my bank account? Imagine that the cracks you see are not just tiny little cracks but several feet long cracks running along the foundation walls on all sides of your basement. Sounds frightening, doesn’t it? Sounds too crazy to be true.

We received a phone call from homeowners in Glasgow, Kentucky, whose basement looked just like described. Stair-step cracks expended to long horizontal cracks. Years of neglect caused the basement walls to start bowing. When our system design specialist visited the basement to assess how bad the situation was, he said it was one of the most extreme situations he had ever seen.

Thankfully, Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space always has a solution for the worst situations imaginable in your basements or crawl spaces!

The Power Brace System is a system of galvanized beams that are installed to support the foundation. The foundation walls are now stabilized, and the cracks will straighten over time. No need to patch anything with mortar! Now, the homeowners can sleep peacefully and not worry about their house falling apart!

John B. knew his sidewalk's slabs were slowly shifting through the years, but for the past few months the shifts have been more apparent. He knew he needed to get his problem fixed when a pizza delivery man tripped on his uneven sidewalk. He did not want to worry about getting sued, so when he saw our tv ad he called right away. 
Our educated inspector came out to his home and personally explained our concrete repair solutions and the costs. John was impressed with our products and was ready to get the project started right away. 
Our foreman came and leveled out the concrete slabs with PolyLevel foam, which is injected under the slabs to lift them back to their original position. He then sealed the cracks, so rainwater could not infiltrate and cause cracking and more shifting. 
John is very happy with the process and we are so glad we could give him a peace of mind about his home again. 

Zachary noticed his wood porch was getting a little bouncy. He feared the whole porch was ruined and needed to be rebuilt. Zachary did not want to worry about the porch failing on someone as they were walking on it, so he decided to look around for options before having the porch rebuilt. 

Our inspector came to his home and looked around his property. He told Zachary there was another solution to the uneven/bouncy porch. 
He told Zachary all about our SmartJack System and Zachary was relieved to find out their was a more cost efficient and quick way to fix his porch. 

All his porch needed was a little support! 

The best way to permanently fix sagging problems is to install SmartJack posts beneath the beam that supports your porch's joists. Each SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won’t settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post. The steel SmartJack piers can be cut to size, based on the height of your space. A threaded post cap enables the installer to raise a sagging floor back to its proper level. All SmartJack parts are protected against rust with a thick galvanized coating.

Zachary is thrilled to have a peace of mind again!

He decided it was time to call a professional that he could rely on. After reviewing our previous work and learning all about our products from our trained inspector, he knew our concrete repair solutions were the best fit for his home.

A house in Lebanon, Tennessee had issues with moisture and mold growing on the basement walls, so the homeowner reached out to us and scheduled a free inspection. During the inspection our design specialist identified all the problematic places and also discovered a stair-step cracking on the foundation walls. After a discussion with the homeowner, we installed our waterproofing system WaterGuard, TripleSafe sump pump, and a moisture barrier CleanSpace  was also added to the walls.

We were called to inspect this basement in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, because the homeowners noticed moisture accumulating on the foundation walls. They like to use their basement for storing furniture, bicycles, paint, and other things that they don't want to keep in the main living area of the house. Naturally, they don't want to have wet walls, because it will only lead to mold growth. They decided to reach out to us for help. 

Our design specialist thoroughly inspected their basement and described our solution to the homeowners. They liked it and they let us install our waterproofing system WaterGuard with a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard, the system of pipes collects water from the basement walls, or water that gets to the area from under basement doors. Water is led through this system to the TripleSafe sump pump. This system also has a back-up powerd by a battery, called UltraSump 4. Water is pumped out of the basement, flows through discharge lines to the well where it escapes, at least 10 feet away from the house.

He explained he was seeing cracks in the exterior brick walls on the front of his home and the garage, which was located on the side of the front wall. We immediately set up an appointment for a Design Specialist to come out to his home to assess the issue. We found the foundation of the front of the home was sinking, causing wall failure and it was spreading to the side where the garage was. This is an issue that will continue to grow if not addressed. We proposed a solution to stop the settlement. The solution included 8 Push Piers to lift the home back up and prevent any further damage with this permanent solution.

After addressing the sinking crawl space issue with Smart Jacks, we proceeded with waterproofing the crawl space. This project included debris removal of the old vapor barrier and wet insulation between the floor joists. Once the crawl space was cleared, we added Drainage matting to the floors, followed by CleanSpace on the walls, and floors, and wrapped around piers.

This customer in Lebanon, TN called Frontier after some big storms came through and flooded their basement. As soon as the water was out, we got to work with a waterproofing system. For this customer, we recommended a DryTrak® Monolithic Floor Drain. As a baseboard drainage system, DryTrak® installs above the floor and along the inside perimeter of the basement. If you have a monolithic foundation, meaning that your floor and footing were poured as one piece, this is the only drainage system that's appropriate. DryTrak® is also perfect for other applications when jackhammering the floor is not an option-- in basements with radiant heat, for example. We also installed some Trench drains in areas where there is foot traffic, like doorways and other outside entry points. We finished the project with a TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona, IceGuard drainage, and a LawnScape system to drain any water out of the basement. 

This customer in Mount Juliet, TN needed crawl space repair to his home. The beams holding the home up were starting to rot and become structurally unsound.

As a floor sags, this problem is often associated with other issues, including cracking drywall, skewed door and window openings, and a potentially moldy, musty odor in the house. Our SmartJack® system is designed to straighten and strengthen sagging floors over crawl space.
