In Alcoa, TN, the committed team at Master Services embarked on improving a crawlspace that had initially been encapsulated with subpar materials. The original encapsulation, performed by the home builder using inexpensive materials, had degraded over time, resulting in tears and water accumulation. The main goal was to avert water damage, inhibit mold growth, prevent decay, eliminate unpleasant odors, and ward off pests from invading the area.
To achieve this, we chose the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, celebrated for its durability and sustained effectiveness, ensuring peace of mind for the long term!
Near Alcoa, TN, our team at Master Services undertook the task of improving a crawlspace that had previously been encapsulated with a black plastic sheet. Over the years, this sheet had torn apart, resulting in water accumulation and damage. After clearing debris and removing old insulation from the joists, we sealed the vents to isolate the crawlspace environment from the outside.
Next, we installed CleanSpace drainage matting, a material designed to direct any water to the perimeter drainage or sump pump located at the lowest point of the crawlspace. Finally, we installed the reliable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, known for its durability and sustained effectiveness.
The main goals were achieved: to avert water damage, inhibit mold growth, prevent decay, eliminate unpleasant odors, and ward off pests from invading the area.
In Alcoa, TN, the Master Services team addressed a crawlspace that had never been properly encapsulated, leaving exposed ground as the floor. After a recent rainfall, the space flooded, leading the homeowner to worry about ongoing water damage, mold growth, decay, unpleasant odors, and potential pest invasions. To resolve these concerns, our Home Inspector recommended and our crew installed, our trusted CleanSpace® Wall system and a Sedona dehumidifier. This solution helps maintain a stable environment and prevent mold growth for long-term peace of mind.
A homeowner in Maryville, TN contacted us seeking help with their unsteady bedroom floor. Our team addressed the issue using the dependable SmartJacks system, which reinforces weakened sections and can be tailored to provide extra support as needed. It can also be installed in cramped crawl spaces. We were able to successfully secure the kitchen floor and prevent any potential settling. Furthermore, we elevated the kitchen floor, decreasing the noticeable cracks in the upper rooms.
In Maryville, TN, the owner of a large residential building contacted Master Services due to concerns about noticeable sinking on one side of the house. After our home inspector conducted a thorough assessment, our team determined that soil erosion, particularly the sand-rich soil, was the underlying cause of this issue. The cement slab supporting the house was subsiding due to the contraction of the sandy soil. Failing to address this issue could potentially compromise the overall structural integrity of the house.
To prevent further deterioration, we recommended the installation of helical piers. These piers are specifically designed to provide substantial foundation reinforcement, particularly within the local terrain. By implementing these helical piers, Master Services ensured lasting stability and safeguarded the building against further sinking and damage.
