If you live in TN and your home is on a crawlspace basement, you will probably need to have it encapsulated sooner or later. Our home was built in 2006 on the highest elevation of our property. Still, everything slopes to the creek and we realized we were getting water intrusion in the crawlspace. That became a bigger problem thanks to the impressive rainfall in Middle TN.
I started looking for a company to do the encapsulation and received a recommendation from a trusted friend. He said Crawlspace Solutions is the only game in town. We both know the owner of the company as he sometimes shops in our place of work. My friend used to work in the crawlspace industry and knew Jarrod (owner) and the stellar reputation of his company.
Jarrod gave me an excellent quote and also told me about the extent of the water intrusion, recommending French drains and a sump pump, in addition to an industrial dehumidifier.
Through my research, I was able to understand Jarrod's concerns and his proposed fix. He and his company provided so much more value for the money it was a no-brainer to go with Crawlspace Solutions for this significant project. His crew was professional, expedient, and clearly happy to work for this great company. The day they brought in the gravel for the French drains, they really displayed their teamwork and friendly humor!
The entrance to the crawlspace is about 24" square. They had to relay a huge number of 50 pound bags of gravel while sitting on their knees all the way to the other side of the house! It went on for nearly 30 minutes and must have been exhausting! Throughout it, they laughed and joked with each other, but got that terrible job done and went on about their business.
It's now one year later and everything is working perfectly. During the recent heavy rains, the sump pump showed its value, pumping significant amounts of water out of the French drains and away from the house. Money well spent!
I highly recommend Crawlspace Solutions to anyone with similar issues! read more
