This Knoxville homeowner had a larger crawl space that was going to waste; sitting empty, damp and underutilized. Wanting to make better use of the space and protect their home, they called on Master Services for a full encapsulation and dehumidifier installation. Before, the crawl space was unsealed and humid, with only a thin plastic liner offering minimal protection. It wasn't a usable space, and the conditions made it prone to moisture issues, poor air quality, and energy inefficiency. We installed a durable CleanSpace vapor barrier along with a high-performance dehumidifier to seal and condition the area. Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and functional, offering valuable extra storage and improved protection for the home above.

In this historic log cabin, years of settling had caused significant sagging in the crawl space. The log joists were bowing under the weight, and the original rock and concrete foundation walls were bearing too much pressure. An attempt to stabilize the area with a jack from another company had failed--it wasnt lifting correctly, leaving the floor uneven and the foundation under strain.
With our SmartJacks system expertly installed, the sagging floor has been lifted and properly stabilized. The new system effectively supports the log joists, taking the pressure off the foundation walls and restoring structural integrity. Now, this cabin stands on a much stronger foundation, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind for the homeowner.
This homeowner was dealing with sagging floors that caused cracks to appear where their interior walls met the ceiling. Our team stepped in with a full crawl space encapsulation, also installing SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floor system, and encapsulating the space to control moisture and improve air quality. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry, and structurally sound, helping protect the entire home from the ground up.
This crawl space in Kingsport, Tennessee was in rough shape... Musty, falling insulation, standing water, and sagging floors were just the start. The moisture was affecting air quality, and the floor above was beginning to settle under the weight of a heavy brick hearth.
Our team stepped in and tackled the problem from the ground up. We removed all debris and damp insulation, installed a vapor barrier to lock out moisture, and added SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the sagging floor system. The result is a clean, dry, and structurally sound crawl space that's now supporting the home above it with absolute confidence.
