Before Encapsulation - Exposed Soil and Moisture Risks
Before work began, this Nashville crawl space showed clear signs of exposure and humidity concerns. The open soil and deteriorating insulation created an environment where moisture could easily rise into the home, leading to musty odors, mold growth, and weakened air quality. This was the first step in transforming the space into a clean, sealed, and protected environment.
Installing Helical Piers - Nashville, FL
During this phase, our crew installed helical piers along the chimney wall to stabilize the home's foundation. These steel piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach stable soil, providing permanent support to lift and level the settled area. This crucial step restores structural integrity and prevents future foundation movement.
Foundation Stabilization Complete - Nashville, FL
After the installation of foundation piers, the exterior of the home was restored and backfilled to its original grade. This process permanently stabilized the structure, addressing previous settlement and preventing future movement. With the foundation secure, the team was able to move forward with interior crawl space upgrades to ensure the home remains protected from the ground up.
CleanSpace Encapsulation Installed - Nashville, FL
After foundation stabilization, the crawl space was sealed with a CleanSpace vapor barrier to lock out ground moisture and humidity. The durable liner covers the floors and walls, creating a bright, clean, and dry environment. This encapsulation helps protect the structure from mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors while improving the home's overall air quality and energy efficiency.
Complete Moisture Control System - Nashville, FL
To finish the project, a TripleSafe sump pump system and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier were installed to provide full moisture protection. The TripleSafe system offers triple-layer reliability, automatically pumping out water during heavy rainfall or plumbing leaks, while the Sedona keeps humidity levels low year-round. Together, these systems ensure the crawl space stays dry, clean, and protected giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
