This Chattanooga homeowner called on Master Services to resolve moisture concerns in his crawl space. Our team completed a full crawl space encapsulation and installed a high-efficiency dehumidifier to help regulate humidity and prevent future issues. The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space that protects the entire home from the ground up. The crawl space had exposed dirt and signs of excess moisture, creating conditions that could lead to mold, structural damage, and energy loss. Now, the entire crawl space is sealed with a durable vapor barrier and equipped with a powerful dehumidifier. The environment is now dry, healthy, and protected year-round.
A homeowner in Chattanooga was struggling with persistent moisture issues in their basement, leading to concerns about potential mold growth and water damage. To create a long-term solution, our team started by encapsulating the space with our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. This durable liner prevents moisture from seeping through the walls, helping to maintain a dry and healthy environment.
To further enhance the home's protection, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system, which provides three levels of defense to effectively manage water intrusion and ensure proper drainage. Additionally, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels and improve air quality, helping to prevent musty odors and mold growth.
This home was experiencing a foundation issue that led to visible settling along the exterior, creating an uneven and unsupported area that could worsen over time if left unaddressed. Before repairs, the foundation showed clear signs of movement and instability, impacting both the structure and surrounding concrete. After our team stepped in, the foundation was properly stabilized and supported, restoring structural integrity and creating a clean, level, and secure finish that helps protect the home from future movement and damage.
The original crawl space entrance at this Hixson, TN home was no longer providing the kind of seal needed to help protect the newly encapsulated space. Because the access point is part of the overall crawl space system, an older or poorly sealed door can still allow moisture and outside air to enter.
Our team completely rebuilt the crawl space entry and installed a new EverLast™ Crawl Space Door. The new door creates a tighter, more durable seal at the entrance, helping the encapsulation system do its job and keeping the crawl space better protected from outside moisture. With the rebuilt opening and new door in place, the homeowner now has a cleaner, more secure access point that supports the long-term waterproofing of the crawl space.
When this Crossville homeowner began noticing excessive humidity in the crawl space along with signs that one corner of the home was settling, it was clear that multiple issues needed to be addressed. High moisture levels can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality, while a settling foundation can cause cracks, uneven floors, and additional structural concerns if left untreated.
To provide a complete solution, our team installed seven Helical Piers around the settling corner of the home to permanently stabilize and support the foundation. We also encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier to help block ground moisture and finished the system with a SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity and create a healthier, drier environment beneath the home. By addressing both the structural settlement and the moisture issues, the homeowner gained lasting protection and greater peace of mind knowing their home was stabilized from the ground up.
