During our inspection, our expert found the relative humidity level to be alarmingly high at 76.30%. The wood moisture content was also high, which was causing significant concerns. Our expert discovered pools of moisture, indicating potential water accumulation and structural vulnerabilities in the crawl space. To address these issues, we implemented comprehensive solutions to ensure optimal moisture management and structural stability. We installed the EZ Flow drainage system, designed to efficiently capture and redirect water flow away from the foundation. This effectively mitigates the risk of moisture-related issues in the crawl space, safeguarding the home's structural integrity.
In the initial frame, witness the concealed perils lurking beneath a home in Clarksville, TN. The crawl space, once deemed unhealthy, harbored moisture and humidity, creating an environment conducive to potential damage. The installation of a robust CleanSpace Liner, 20-mil thick, elegantly overlays the foundation, shielding it from the threats of moisture and humidity. Beneath the liner lies a strategic arrangement of drainage matting, acting as a vigilant guardian against unseen dangers. The entire space is now hermetically sealed from the ground, presenting a fortified haven that ensures optimal conditions for the home above.
Upon inspection, our expert found damaged and moisture-laden wood in the crawl space, indicating severe structural and moisture problems. To remedy these issues, we installed drainage matting covered with a 20-mil thick CleanSpace Liner, effectively sealing the area from ground moisture and reducing humidity. Additionally, we installed a Triple Safe Sump Pump, IceGuard and drainage system, LawnScape system, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to ensure comprehensive moisture control and maintain a dry, healthy crawl space environment.
Homeowners in Nashville, Tennessee used Frontier's waterproofing services and we were able to permanently get rid of the standing water in their basement!
In Nashville, TN, a homeowner found themselves grappling with uncomfortably high relative humidity levels reaching 85%, coupled with a concerning wood moisture content of 16%. Unchecked, a crawl space can become a breeding ground for excess moisture, leading to mold growth, wood rot, and a host of other structural issues. To combat these issues head-on, our encapsulation process was employed. First, we laid down drainage matting to provide a pathway for existing water to escape. Then, a robust CleanSpace Liner, 20mil thick, was meticulously installed over the drainage matting, creating a barrier that significantly reduces moisture and humidity infiltration from the ground. Additionally, vents were sealed using SilverGlo insulation to further fortify the crawl space against external moisture intrusion. A Triple Safe Sump Pump, along with an IceGuard and comprehensive drainage system, ensures efficient water removal even in the face of severe weather conditions. Finally, to maintain optimal humidity levels, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed, guaranteeing a dry and healthy environment.
